I love NY! I’m from Plattsburgh, and my parents live in the Saratoga Springs area. The Mrs. and I try to get out that way every other year. Beautiful.

Work out, shoot USPSA competitions, sometimes fiddle with an N Scale train set up that I have been working on for years and haven't made much progress on, coach my son in baseball and hockey, go to various other kid-related things.
I liked The Next Generation. My dad used to watch it when I was a kid and I always wanted to watch the whole series one day. Thanks to Amazon Video Prime, I did just that as well as watching TOS.
I didn't expect to like DS9 very much because I didn't like the idea of it taking place on a space station. However I am enjoying it. It feels less episodic than TNG and TOS. I heard there are more bigger story arcs later in the series. I'm only in the middle of season 2 right now.
DS9 got better for me as it goes on... first season was a little meh, but later seasons got pretty good...
Nice! I’m in Masters at the moment, I play mostly Zenyatta
Love this thread.
I was a sailmaker/custom boat canvas guy for 15 years. Moved to automotive soft goods manufacturing doing primarily pattern design and logo development for OEMs like Porsche, Ford, Suzuki and several big box retail stores. Did that for 25 years. Retired four years ago.
Now I hang out with the wife, go to bed when I want, wake up when I want and do stuff around the house on my own schedule.
My hobby is bass playing. Gave up trying to make any real money at it years ago. That was never a big deal anyway, I always played for the enjoyment.

I think they have it wrong... the line that goes with the photo is:
“What did you expect? Welcome, sonny? Make yourself at home? Marry my daughter? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know . . . morons”
Yeah, that's the dialog for that scene. I couldn't find an image from the actual "Let's play chess" line so I grabbed that one because of Cleavon Little's expression and added the text. Glad to know others out there know the movie as well as I do.
I went to Plattsburgh once. Had the single worst Burger King experience of my life.
That's the story of my trip to Plattsburgh.
Hah Hah! Awesome. I really lived in a nearby village, and it was during the 1970's, but nobody knows of Keeseville and only a few know of neighboring Ausable. Rock on!
Nice! I’d like to rank up but I only really solo que and I don’t have what it takes to carry. Still fun though.Nice! I’m in Masters at the moment, I play mostly Zenyatta
Totally true. Life on the water is awesome.
However, like this...
Or this?
They ain't called stinkpots for nothing
(Remember, it's a former sailmaker/race crew guy here 
)Now back to our regularly scheduled program
It gets more fun as you climb the ranks aswell, way more competent teammates. I used to play profesionally in Team Fortress 2 and the mechanics are pretty similiar
ride on fast things like snowmobile, motorcycle and my drag-race VW
(I'm anything but normal !)
I used to race karts. 'til I flipped one, back in '89. That and the sport got really expensive. Now I fly airplanes.
