Guest muddy Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Wow! Has the technology changed much , since you first started? Quote
fisherdave Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 This is my other hobby this was a trip up to Sturgis SD last year. FisherDave Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 4, 2008 BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 4, 2008 No, not really. The technology doesn't change much, but the shells do. There's always a different type of shell being introduced, such as the aqua shell (it lands on water and then goes off). The computer program gets better every year, but that's expected. Doesn't mean it's better though. This year the Space Needle show didn't fire due to a computer glitch. I was laughing in my living room. LOL. Glad I don't do that show anymore. About the only significant "new" thing in "technology" is how Disney fires their shows. They don't use a lift charge to fire the shell up. They use compressed air instead. It makes placement of the break very precise. Obviously, this can only be done for permanent shows. This is "new" by pyro standards.... it came out about 10 years ago. The "technology" doesn't really change much. Quote
Yakfish Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 The other reason I look forward to spring. Sometimes I can't wait so when a 50* day comes along in January I take advantage of it. Quote
Guest muddy Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I didn't realize how many Brothers of The Road were on these boards; I took mine out yesterday, spring is taking too long to get here 59 , fatboy: Quote
Popeye Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Cycling, jogging, fly tying (soon:o), treasure hunting/metal detecting, scuba diving, pool/billiards, ice skating, rollerblading, roller skating (how I met my wife 38 years ago:o), and restoring muscle cars. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted February 5, 2008 Super User Posted February 5, 2008 I really enjoy playing disc golf. I got into it in college. My alma mater has an 18 hole, championship caliber course right on campus. Lots of woods too. They even offered disc golf 1 and 2 for one PE credit. As far as organized extra curriculars, or leagues, I've played darts(cricket), softball, and bowling. I ran cross-country in college. I also enjoy reading, hunting, camping/hiking, making candles, golfing, gardening, and splitting wood. We heat our home with wood in the winter, and I actually enjoy splitting/stacking the wood; weather it be with a wedge and a sledge, or a gas powered splitter. Also, we go all out for Halloween. Our front yard is really something that time of year. We build most of the props ourself (electric chair, guillotine, hangman's scaffold, etc.). This is pretty much a year-round project. So I'm always scouting for new material, or designing new goulish props. Quote
Hooked_On_Bass Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Hockey and hunting (+ breaking clays for practice). Quote

Super User Redlinerobert Posted February 5, 2008 Super User Posted February 5, 2008 Gator, I'd like some cowboy boots and a matching belt please. Size 11. ;D Quote
d.hark Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Softball is my other "hobby" as you can see ;D Most of them are for investment purposes (you'd ne surprised the money thats in bats) and the other half are my gamers. But it seems like the bats are deminishing and my rod and reel collection is growing for some reason Quote
HUNTER19 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 wow now thats a huge bat collection!!! I have never known anybody to have that many bats!!!!!! Pretty cool if you ask me!!! I just would never want to break into your house!!! Quote
BassinWill301 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I have a 55 gallon fish tank that i like to take care of. I also like to play airsoft and video games. But fishing always comes first above these. Quote
MattStrykul Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I love rollerblading, throw some 900s here and there.... Click here to watch 900 I like to wakeboard ALOT too. ;D Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Music - my first love. Don't play as much as I use to, hardly at all compared to once upon a time. Was hoping to make a career out of it, but, some things are more important (see avatar). Great thing about this "hobby" was that I made pretty good money at it - nothing better than doing something you enjoy (would even do for free) and getting paid for it. However, 2 weeks into a 6 evenings a week, 2 matinees on Saturday, 8 week theater run makes you wonder if the contract was really worth it. Name it, and I've probably played it at some point over the last 20+ years - classical, rock, jazz, fusion, etc. The bass in the middle (sitting in front of the amp) is a custom made Keith Roscoe bass. The first time I saw this "bass" it was a chunk of wood - literally, the bark was still on the slab. 8 weeks later Keith gave me the best bass I have ever played or heard in my life. Quote
Guest muddy Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Nice Instruments Ej, when you came to BASS RESOURCES, were you thinking it was about music or fishing? Quote
Super User South FLA Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 Hunting-Dove, Duck, Deer, Turkey, and Hog Running-ran the Miami marathon 2 years ago, but have knee problems now so mostly gym running. Video Games- love Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Madden Aquariums Going to get back into archery this year. Too many hobbies not enough time, but if I had to pick one it would be FISHING, hands down. ;D, hats off to Bat guy, good ones cost a small fortune. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 I like BIG motorcycles and cross country touring.................... Ronnie Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Nice Instruments Ej, when you came to BASS RESOURCES, were you thinking it was about music or fishing? HA! Good one, Muddy. Either way, it works for me - bass or bass! Quote
Olebiker Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I like BIG motorcycles and cross country touring.................... Ronnie I was heading North on I-65 in Alabama last Saturday and a Gold Wing that same color was heading South. I could see that bike forever. It really impressed me that the color stood out so much. I have entirely too many hobbies, so I have cut back on some. I still do a lot of bicycling and my garage is full of woodworking equipment which I actually get to use once in a while. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 70 degrees here! I just got back from a 3 hour ride. AWESOME! ;D Ronnie Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 My other hobbies include... Photography Fishtanks- I have discus and another tank of African Cichlids Hiking I also used to be a health and exercise nut. I worked out 6 days a week, 2 hours each time. I got into powerlifting for about 2 years and decided I was getting to old for all the abuse my body went through plus I need to be home with my family. I used to weigh in at 194-197. I could bench around 375-400lbs, squat 500-600lbs and deadlift around 500-600lbs. The sad thing was, I would get smoked all the time in meets. Just in case, I was natural (steroid free) and so were most of the people I competed against. They had strict testing. I always get a kick out of people who took them. You either got it or you don't. What it takes is patience, genetics, knowledge about your own body, and lots and lots of good food. Quote
