I like to scrub the kitchen floor while kneeling on 2 cats

But seriously, since I can't do drugs anymore,
can't see well enough to read a book,
only drink (ahem) professionally,
smoke too many cigars already,
and Wifey will kneecap me if I try to smack her around,
instead for solace I sort misc parts out in my shop:
nuts, bolts, washers, screws, dead stink bugs........

When pissed, I grab a 12# sledge, some safety glasses, and go out & beat on Dad's Mad Rock.
(A nearly 3 ton chunk of concrete, think it's down to about 2 tons now)
 
Other: I tend to go spend money when I'm feeling depressed or under too much stress / frustrations from work and I usually end up buying gear, which I don't really need, it's really a PITA, because with all the money I spent on this stuff combined, I could have bougth much nicer stuff, like an upright, which I've been wanting for so long... :(
