I currently have a bunch of hobbies that I'm pursuing, but I have a few which I consider favorite pasttimes.

Of course....my planes:
................
That's my Rans S6ES Coyote II. It's a light-sport 2 seater aircraft which I recently purchased. I sold my AeroLite 103 (pictured below)
and bought this so I would be able to take people along when I fly. I am currently working on completing my pilot license, and
should complete it soon. I'd rather do this than anything.


Ever since I was a little kid I have had a fascination with astronomy. So I bought a telescope many years ago. It was a 900MM refractor scope. I got more and more interested in it, and bought a bigger scope, and through the years have continued the progression, and well...

.......................................
That is my 12" Newtonian. It is a great deep sky telescope. It is F 5.0 which means it has a wide angle view and takes in a lot of light. I have a full array of lenses and filters with it as well.

This is my computer: AMD Athlon 64 4000+, GeForce 7800 GTX PCIe, 2 gigs Atlas Precision DDR RAM
Computers are how I make my living, so I'm especially into them. I have many hobbies revolving around computers. I manage a network of servers ranging from e-mail servers, to game servers, to voice comm servers, and like to get online with buds and blow things up rather often. Currently I'm playing a lot of Battlefield 2, and I have to say it's about the most fun game I've ever played. Look me up as RBHAMMER in the game...

I'm also into movies. I have a collection of over 300 DVD's that I watch often. I can pretty much take my pick as far as what kind of movie I want to watch :)

I'm also into motorcycles. This is my 2004 Volusia. It's made by Suzuki.

I play racquetball quite a bit, and have a few buds that play as well. Racquetball is my favorite sport followed closely by tennis and basketball. I play often, whenever weather and time permits.
