    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I play indoor, competitive badminton (yes, I'm serious. Yes, it is a serious sport). Go to tournaments and play in the vets divisions. Played for a couple hours last night. My body feels it. Sore--creaky.

    I have a passion for flying. Just last night I flew a light twin engine airplane from Chino, CA to Napa Co. airport, CA. I took my parents up there for a steak dinner at Joneseys steak house. It's the funniest thing, but with a minimum fuel purchase they give you two bottles of Woodbridge wine. I got a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon Blanc. I don't know anything about wine, but tonight I figure I'll treat myself to a glass. image

    Clankeye,

    I know exactly what you mean. I used to play badminton with some international students from China and the Philippines when I was a student in college. It was like playing fullcourt basketball. All you did was sprint, sprint, sprint. I would be huff’n afterwards and I loved it.

    Adrian, what a beautiful photo! Is it heaven?

    I can answer that.

    YES!!!! image

    What else do I do?
    Growing up it was hunting/fishing ,baseball,football,bicycles,hotwheels.
    Teen years it was hunting/fishing, girls, music and guitars.
    From there its been guns,music,coins,hotwheels (revisited),and now just started to
    have an interest in old bottles after finding a few really old snuff bottles (Levi Garrett & Sons brand)
    Now I want to find some really cool old cobalt blue poison bottles.Preferrably the old Owl Drug Co. ones.
    I find early Coke bottles very interesting.
    Flash is all into this I think too.

  • Chess.... I am a rated player and hold quite a bit of respect for my knowledge of the game. I love the fact that computers can not overcome the game.

    I do like target shooting with all calibers of rifles and pistols for the pure fun of it. I occasionally will take a fancy to ATTEMPT to shoot clays with shotguns but I am not very good.

    But do not get me wrong, hunting is not my thing because I would much rather snuggle a two-legged dear than shoot four legged deer. Sadly, I am a bachelor who must seek out a dear who will put up with my ways.

    I also find that fascinating that they cannot build a computer that can beat the masters. I love that "human aspect" to a very methodical, calculating game. I dabble in the game but none of my friends will play me anymore.

    What is your rating? I once watched my high school physics teachers (with a 2100 rating i believe) play a 5-min speed game against another sharp (but lesser) opponent. It was incredible - they looked like human calculators.

    Music enthusiast but, don`t play an instrument , just in appreciation. Played Tennis and Baseball like crazy in my Teens and Twenties, now that I`m older I still follow Womens Tennis. Collecting coins isn`t the top of my list but, music is the top. Collecting coins is an enjoyable sideline that I enjoy doing though.image

    woo-hoo a fellow beer-brewer too. I just bottled a batch Monday night. It's a VERY stout raspberry wheat. My last batch was better than guinness - the head was like whipped-cream it was so creamy.

    I'm moving up to a 6.5 gallon setup - should be here this week.

  • Lots of target shooters on here. Count me among them, but I shoot trap and sporting clays.

    I noticed one other wine geek here also. I have a little cellar that I have been putting together since the early 1980's!

    And, last but not least, I have been involved in technical climbing for 33 years. My travels have taken me to many countries and some of the most beautiful places you can imagine. Here's a couple of pictures!
