Hunting, fishing, vaping in no particular order. I love ice fishing as well!

We do a bit of fishing here in Minnesota too I once was camping with my son and I woke up about 530 am and caught a Rainbow Trout and had it cooking over the campfire within 5 minutes of catching it. To this day it remains the best tasting fish i've ever had!

I use to be into philosophy, martial arts, and Dim Mak. Now I'm into studying all kinds of holistic medicines from various countries. My favorites include acupuncture, acupressure, Kampo and Ayurveda. Can I apply it you bet, but can I do it legally nope..... cost to much to go to college for that kind of stuff, plus the insurance to practice is crazily over priced. So I learn this stuff just because I enjoy it, but rarely use it though.

I also enjoy all kinds of science my favorites are astronomy, biology and geology. lol... Even my favorite TV channel is the Science Channel, I watch it like it was going out of style. What can I say I love facts and doing research.

I have a minor in Philosophy and i like the discovery channel and myth busters and Ninja Warrior

I grew up making jewelery and still do on the side when I'm not doing Native Pow Wow's, am now learning hand engraving and used to make Native American flute and Japanese Shakuhachi flutes.

The best way to see what I do is to look at my site here: Native Works by Leroy Two Hawks - Powered by CO.CC On the Gallery page everything in the top row of pictures was made by me, engraving, jewelery, flutes and a picture of my living room shop.

That's all folks,
Kevin

That is some amazing work! I noticed a gold coin in one of the pics, do you collect old coins? One day i hope to find a gold coin metal detecting...but usually i just find silver coins and wheat cents

Other than vaping the next biggest hobby of mine would have to be motorcycles. I just sold my 2004 R6 last year for a 2008 CBR1000RR. I do some racing, track days, police chases jk? Anything on 2 wheels is good for me...I raced motocross for about 7 years when i was younger...did pretty good for a while...plenty of scars to remember the times I also snowboard in the winter...snowmobile's are fun too...I want to get a new one next year...PLUS I want to get the new superbike that BMW just came out with..Its the first TRUE litre supersport bike they ever came out with and it is the best out!!! at least for now! Gotta finish up my last year of school though and that is going to be my graduation present to myself Guns are also fun! I just sold my 300WSM...but i still have my Rem 1187 and my marlin 30/30...gotta love the old fashion lever action...makes ya feel like a true cowboy But mainly...motorcycles Im putting a dry nitrous kit on the cbr1000 this winter...it should be fun i already have all the parts for the nitrous that i took off my R6...but with another 400cc to play with i can increase the jetting and get some really nice HP out of it...im guessing around 200rwhp

Remote Control Helicopters...

And Guns.... "God loves Texas"

and then there's the cars....

Brock evidently has some serious toy issues You offroad much in Texas? I used to have a 89 Toyota 4x4 v6 3.0 5 spd with 33 X 12.50 mud terrains on it. Used to play offroad quite a bit with. Swamped the motor once and one i pulled the drain plug, more water came out of the motor then oil! Needless to say, i had to rebuild that one

Nice handguns! Me and my dad used to shoot a bit. Some of the guns we have/had over the years: .44 Ruger Super Redhawk , Colt .45 officers model (which i cracked the barrel on 2 years ago with some hand loads...still need to get a new barrel). Ruger MKII bull barrel. .357 blackhawk, Coonan .357 magnum semi auto, smith and wesson 9mm, Remington O3A3 30/06. (non sniper variant of the sniper rifle used by Jackson in saving private Ryan) Japanese WWII Carbine with bayonet (my favorite gun).

Awesome! Is that your grinding stone they are sitting on and is that amethyst?

 

[the vaporizer]

the cbr already had :arrow headers going to an FMF apex exhaust, power commander 5 with IRC module and custom tuning, BMC race filter, pazzo brake +clutch levers, brembo high performance brake pads, SS front brake lines with kevlar inner linning, fender elim kit, dunlop rubber, gutted intake, and some other small stuff soon to be set up for nitrous...probably only gonna use it 2 times a year but its more of a ( its there just to have it) kind of thing...this thing already puts out 170hp to the rear wheel about 190hp at the crank...so it really doesnt need any extra lol...but i am an over achiever...

Bonsai Blog

Do you sell them too? Whats your oldest tree that you've been growing? I used to grow a garden back in the day. This year i just planted tomatoes

 

[the vaporizer]

those RC helicopters are sweet!!!!!!!!! ive always wanted one of the RC JETS they have...the big ones with real turbines and everything!!!! One of my dreams...but i would def settle for one of those copters how much is a decent one?

 

[forcedfuel50]

well my main thing has been doing medieval reenacting for like 16 years now or so... so it's all sort of dovetailed out of that... armor making, swordfighting, fencing, archery, bowmaking and fletching, calligraphy and illumination, picked up woodworking so I could make a harp....but my main pashion in that is leatherworking (and that kinda split into a side job doing leather pieces for the fetish community)...mainly drinking vessels, armor, bracers, corsets, whips and other things...

Any leather pieces for the Precise?

One word......Guitar.

Been a huge hobby for about 6 maybe 7 years. (I'm still pretty young at 21)

Musics been big in the family.
Well I guess its a job too.
We run a music business.

No fair, i think we ALL want to learn to play the guitar. You ever make a guitar? I was looking through my Grizzly catalog (woodworking and metal working tool supplier) and didn't realize they are hard core into guitar making and sell several guitar kits. It'd be fun to make one

I used to be very passionate about golf, tennis, motorcycle riding and occasional skydiving. I was blessed with the greatest "hobby" of all times a couple of years ago, and it has replaced all others for the most part. There is nothing that makes me happier than spending time with my baby.

I still play Texas Holdem once a week.

 

[forcedfuel50]

I like the petanque with my friends.

Everything at it's time, my friend!

Your customer will not be in a very great hurry!

I admit, i had to look up what Pentaque is. It's not common here in the US. Do you play in competitions?

 

[CALLAGAN]

Regrettably not, just for the pleasure to have a drink with the friends..

what kind of motorcycles did you have? cruiser, sport, sport touring?

 

[the vaporizer]

this was a hobby of mine for a while too the only thing that came second to my moto

 

[Vaporologist]

CBR900. It was a blast!

 

[the vaporizer]

a 900 huh! An oldie but goodie! Those were the top bikes of the day! I dont think i had a drivers license at the time but i remember looking at them! My friend has a 2003 cbr954rr that ive ridden a couple times and it is still a very capable bike in the right hands ( not his ) Most of these bikes nowadays cant even reach half their potential on the road...which is why i go to the track! Did you ever do any track days? or races?

Nah, just pleasure riding and donating to our local PD
