Other stuff you like to do besides playing Bass

[Helix]

I’ve always been pretty active, snowboarding, bicycling, a lot of water sports.

But now I’m thinking about building a Hot Rod….or buying a boat

I think I’m more likely to build a Hod Rod

Something like this

What about you guys?

What else do you like to do besides playing bass?

That 70 1/2 split bumper is sweet. I had a '73 that I put a split bumper on and a '65 327 camel hump motor in it when the 307 died. The car handled pretty darn well for American steel too.

I had a '72 when I was a kid, unfortunately I didn't know how to take care of stuff back then and beat the crap out of it

But anyway, I think it would be fun to do

I can't afford them any more Plus I like creature comforts that modern vehicles give. That and being able to go a week without a fill up

In addition to bass playing...astronomy, golf, weightlifting, hiking, reading, guns.

Each of my hobbies are cyclical, meaning I can go months (or even years) without engaging in it, then one day I jump back in with both feet, and another one gets pushed aside for a while. I used to feel guilty about not participating in some of my pricier hobbies, but now I know they'll always be on-again off-again so I don't fret about the expensive gear sitting around when I'm doing something else.

I have a varied list of things I like to do besides bassing. They include:
1. Spending time with family and serving in my church.
2. Target shooting with my pistols.
3. Reading mysteries.
4. Hiking.
5. Travel, both stateside and abroad (When I can afford to).
6. Writing and telling folk stories.
7. Making lists.

I read, drink and go see live bands. It’s always good to see what other local bands are playing.

I really enjoy cooking and reading. So much that for Christmas Mrs. Driver made me a cookbook full of all the recipes I'd created over the past year and a half.

Idaho weather is not always the most cooperative, but from about March until October I spend a lot of time on a motorcycle. The wife and I both ride, and we'll do usually a half-dozen overnighters through the summer and the one slightly longer ride (two nights maybe) and one much longer ride (4-5 nights, upwards of 2k miles). I usually plot 7 hours of saddle time, and there's plenty to see in Idaho on a bike. One oft-repeated loop is a ride to McCall from Twin Falls via Sun Valley, Stanley, Lowman, and Garden Valley. Another is to Salmon via Sun Valley, and every couple of years we'll ride to Missoula to take Lolo Pass back into Idaho to McCall. Last year, we did Hell's Canyon into Oregon, and the long haul was the Colorado Rockies, including a white knuckle trip over Indy Pass in pouring rain. We've done the PCH a couple times, including a run through the Redwoods. It's a great hobby, and a great way to see the country.

In the winter, I tend to hole up in the house because it's cold outside. I read, play video games, attempt to write, noodle around on guitar. I do a lot of the cooking so I like to get creative from time to time.

What about you guys?

What else do you like to do besides playing bass?

IME, hot rods can be a bigger GAS than basses. Everything is expensive. There's a saying: How much will it cost? Depends on how fast you want to go.

I suggest you watch auto related programs, read and join websites and forums, read magazines, study ads, contact manufacturers for info, learn how other people build cars.

Stop by hot rod shops in your area and chat up the guys a bit. Visit car shows.

Probably the most important thing is to determine which tools you need to buy, rent, borrow, or build. Tool costs have killed many a project.

Related to tools is: which jobs will you pay others to do? And how will you judge their work?

Safety is important too. A Properly raised and supported car will extend your life. Knowing basic electronics is good.

Stuff like that.
