Other hobbies or past times outside of detailing

We've been winding down our schedule as we all get older and less energetic, but I spent much of the last 30 years of my life as part of a local Dirt Sprint Car team. After being fans for many years, a few friends and I purchased and reconstructed a used Winged Sprint Car and travelled the local tracks around Western PA and Eastern Ohio.
Wins were few and far between, being such a low-buck operation, but eventually we got to where we were consistent top-ten finishers, albeit in the lower half of the top ten.

I found a fun new hobby this year.



I also have a Strat and a Tele.

Don’t ask me to play you anything.
But I sure can spend all my money on these things!

Nice, I do like the colour. That's really all I know about them.

Finished another project. I've had this kit about 30 years, but it was so cheap, read poor quality, and basic that I never felt motivated to do it. With lock down dragging on, I decided to give it a go. All the decals had gone bad, so I had to hand paint the markings on, and used YouTube for weathering techniques. I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Love the little R2-D2 head behind the cockpit!

Yeah, the little R2-D2 is designed to be removable, you can have the X-Wing with the landing gear down, and little R2 next to it, but I glued it in. To get his markings right, I googled a lot of images, then everytime I went in to ebay it was trying to sell me R2-D2 stuff, key chains, hats, cushions, all sorts of stuff, this went on for a couple of weeks.

So did I get a hat, or a keychain??

I thought about a remote control R2, but it would definitely have upset my dogs.
