OT My favorite things

[Stormynights]

I thought a fun way to get to know each other better is to let everyone post their favorite things. I know the top of the list will be children and our GG's. That goes without saying. I also love that first cup of coffee in the morning. Sheets dried on a clothes line. Sleeping next to an open window with fresh air blowing on your face on a hot night. Listening to a gentle rain while you are dry. Weaving baskets and wasting time on my computer.

What are your favorite things?

Raindrops on roses and wiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and arm woolen mittens.
Brown paper packages tied up with strings


Seriously though other then family and GG's Automobiles, a good book and the internet.

Woodturning, woodworking, women (the three dubyas), firearms, metalworking, ceramics, cooking (I was a professional chef) sculpture, painting, drawing, RC helicopters, RC airplanes, Hell anything with RC in it (hold the cola please), photography, engineering, building handplanes, toolmaking, custom handplanes (buying them or drooling on them), Musclecars, fine instruments, did I mention women (well one in particular), art, artists... I'll have a side of raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, hold the copper kettle and pass the mittens.

And of course, anything that comes out of Imeo's head. Damn I have a LOT of expensive hobbies/interests. GG's are probably the least costly of all of those, and one of my favorites. Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Pics are really bad will have to get some w/ a better camera.

Martinc, I see I'm not the only one who likes things that go fast. I'd ride that Ducati like it was stolen!!!! I would get in a whole world of trouble on that, which is why I could never own one! However, I can still appreciate one

Nice Dag!

My#1 would be the company of good friends and I guess I have to mention flying since I've been doing this for the last 26 years although Days Off come a close second!!

I also like Golf but don't get the chance to play that much anymore

This is the Airbus A340-600 I currently fly (at least one of them, we have lots)

I like my wife and family + food, cool cars & trucks, good times, and a good laugh. I have a young English Bulldog and an old border collie that wait for me to come through the door like I'm part of their pack. When the day is long and lonely I listen to rock & roll or Howard Stern (Bobba Booey) on my radio, and browse the internet.

Other than my family and dogs my favorite things are...

Cold beer, classic country music and a good looking girl on my lap.

Also fast cars, bourbon, and barbecue.

My dogs I love first and foremost, always have all my life. Also love reading books and golf but not enough time anymore. Love listening to the peepers and crickets at night in the spring and the smell of lilacs. Ive waited a yr and the peepers were back last week. I also love trees

 

[Stormynights]

I enjoy the responses. This a fun get together.

We all love our cars and pets. I drive a Jeep Wrangler that I enjoy a lot. Last week my parrot that I had for over 30 years died. I miss him. We have I guess 3 dogs now. People down the road moved and left a great dane behind. My husband has been feeding her for the last couple of months anyway. She has been gaining weight. I hope it is just because she is well fed and not pregnant. She looks like Marmaduke and her name is Mama Duke. We have a long haired chihuahua and a long haired Jack Russel. They are both very sweet. My husband has also been feeding some feral cats. They are cute but they are untouchable.

This is Hank our golden retriever his nickname is "yellow dog" because he's not the sharpest tack in the box. But he,
's my boy and I love him

Pets don't have to be brilliant to be adorable. The smartest pet I ever had was a crow. Its name was Heckle and he or she lived up to the name. He was a thief and a pest but was very adorable. We raised him from a naked baby but he eventually flew away with the other crows.

dsnin the sound of a well struck golf ball off a 3 iron, you just know you've creamed down the center of the fairway is also one of those magical moments in life. That's when the GGTS comes out the bag as you make your way to find your ball on the green 5 feet from the cup. Clouds of vapor engulf the green

 

[Huffelpuff]

Captain.. I like this story. Could we make it GJ in the GG?

 

[Torqueguy]

great post.

I love my family, especially our new niece Giulia

my Duke

Duke puts up with alot from our daughter, yet takes it all in stride

I love my Helga (should say loved)

But she was a hot lady. 2L dual carbs, bored and stroked. She ate mustangs for lunch

Knifemaking

Gun building

Top is curly maple, bottom is quartersawn curly oak

Small targets, really far away

And my cherry tree in Spring

 

[Stormynights]

Your niece is beautiful,you dog with a banana peel on it's head is hysterical. I love your car. I would love to have a picnic under the cherry tree. The other things look so manly. Your pictures truly told a story about your life. I enjoyed it very much.
