wow she is one lucky kid!!!!Please share some of your pics I really suck at photography as evidenced by many of my pictures.
Yeh old cars are the best, here is my toy that will roll out in the spring time. I was able to cut a deal with the dude and he is taking payments and I pick it up in the spring. Just could not float the outright purchase so when I visited him I offered him a deal and he took it even though other people had cash in hand :woot:. This is his baby that he basically built out of 4 cars, also a pic of a car he bought for 25 bucks from a junkyard, it was in boxes when he picked it up.
49 torpedo back custom
over 500 hp
he has been offered over 50 thousand dollars for it
My oldest daughter has her dads passion for old cars and she asked me if when she gets older I could find her a convertable. I love my kids very very much and I love old cars very very much so this is the 16th bday present bought for a 12 year old
1966 renault caravelle hard/soft top
Now the fun is gonna be making up the orders for my 6 soon to be 7 other kids :lol2:
well here is a pic of the packard:
old pic but it still pretty much looks the same.ill try and find some pics of the others.we started them all up this fall and they totally loved it,there was almost no protesting and they ran great!!!(well after warming up a bit of course
)those cars are awsome! from all the way from the junkyard thats pretty nice.have fun with em.and i bet your daughter cant wait till she is sixteen
well i i've recently taken up an interest into terestrial plants (insted of aquatic lol) and have aquired a few interesting species from my mom, a tree fern (from New Zeland i think) varigated lemon tree and a dwarf banana tree. i also have two bonsai that i'm working on, one i rescued from wall-o-mart the other is a dwarf pomegranate that i got from a local guy who sells bonsai.
non plant related i'm really going getting int metal work. half decent at white smithing (working coper brass esetera) can weld decently (stick and MIG haven't used TIG) and planing to learn black smithing next summer.
being a college student i don't have that many hobies because of lack of space. but recently have gotten into WV TDI's (diesels with speed lol) because of my new golf TDI. so that has been taking up alot of my time and money too lol

I generally am prone to more hobbies then I can afford and have room for so I tend to drift in and out of them.
- Toy collection.
- Fish-keeping.
-Mind stories.
- Sewing.
-Drawing. IT was a hobby for me at one time. Portfolio work is so extensive that there's no room for hobbyist drawing. I do miss it, but working on my portfolio is more important then creating artwork that I can never use professionally ( hobbyist art). I hope when my portfolio reaches the point that I can market myself as an artist, then I go back to doing some hobbyist art.
I've had a few jobs and careers, mostly ones that went up in smoke. What I really want to do is to be involved in fantasy and design. So if someone came up to me and said I could have any career I wanted, I would choose this type of field. This means animation.

Ok, so now here it comes :grinyes:. I been busy with my camera and have a long list of things that I love that I am gonna post up :dance2:.
Ever since I got married and we started to have a family, I have done my best to make it so that my definitive of what LOVE is was how I handled being a husband and a father. For me Love is when you care more for something or somone else than you do for yourself.
This being said I LOVE MY WIFE & KIDS (second from right is my daughters friend)
I LOVE HOW MY KIDS WANT TO TAKE PART IN THIS HOBBY
caleb wanted that ship in a tank so I redid this one to have the ship.
I Love my guinea pig we gave to my inlaws, I called it elvis till we found out it was a girl. I got to hold her over the holidays while we stayed at their house for a few days and she totally recognized me.:headbang2:
I TOTALLY LOVE MY HAIRLESS DOGS
This is spot who is like a big baby he loves to be held like a newborn. First pic is of him zonked out, he woke up after the camera took the first pic
This is his sister hawk who is like a little princess, she is what they call a petite hairless of the hairless, she weighs all of 5-6lbs and is totally agile just like a mountain goat. We never know where we are gonna find her
Another one of my cabbage patch kids, my real kids are totally wanting some of mine. They are always :idea: of ways to sneak them from me :grinno: :shakehead:
I totally love clowns, not the evil bugger from the movie IT but I really love clowns and collect them. One day I am so going to own a origional red skelleton work. This is one of my special pieces from my collection as my mother was able to get it for me from a fellow teacher who taught with her. It is made out of ties from the 70's and is fairly old
I AM A TOTAL FREAK FOR ANTIQUE
. There is just something about the quality and craftsmanship of olden days things. So if it is antique I will collect it.
rescued from goin in a dumpster
the lamp is my grandfathers from his farm I got it as a remembrance the day I preached his funeral, my uncle gave it to me. The glasses are something my daughter found in her great grandfathers abandoned childhood home. I will turn them into sunglasses in the days to come
This is my grandfathers hat he wore all the times we went fishing and now it's mine :headbang2:a prize of all prizes to be able to be the one out of the whole family who netted this baby.
This one came to me from my daughter christianna. My kids have become quite the antique hunters and make sure to bring me to things they find or things they find to me.
Now from my previous post you know I love antique toys, though I absolutely love sesame street and cartoons so here are some of my toys and they all work.
I LOVE ALL THINGS FISH, Especially fossils. I have always been intrigued by the first thing I am going post up and wonder what if these are still alive like the caelocanth.
This is my sample of a small megalodon tooth.
This was given to me as a gift from a very old friend who passed away, who had spent his life as a missionary in Belize.
Another thing I LOVE WITH PASSION is china of all sorts. To me the real fun is when I get something of value from my treasure hunts. This is my collection of avon village houses, with the exception of the antique from japan.
japanese pieces
I Love stuffed animals, I used to have over 300 various stuffed animals. I even had a 5 ft tall Bugs Bunny. Though I had to give that one to a cute little tyke who belonged to my older sisters friend. It was so cool to watch this little 6 year old trying to carry it :dance2:. I got rid of most of them when I moved back to regina in 1991 but there are certain prizes that I have carried with me for many journies over many miles.
The first one I am going to post up, I sometimes put in the passenger seat of my vehicle and take for a spin and you should see the heads turn.
this is gaddiella's first time ever seeing this
this is my life size limited edition replica of KOKO the gorilla complete with cat. I have had her for almost 20 years or so. I am totally amazed at the command of words that she had and the relationship she had with the kitten. If you do not know who KOKO is click these

Now on a smaller scale, I bought this one when I was 10 years old from an antique shop. The fur is made out of boucle and I have no idea how old it is. This one my kids do not touch. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/boucle
Ok, so I figured that this would be enough of a share time for me for a few posts :grinyes:
As you look at the pictures you will see a abundance of tanks and such in my house, I have another thread showing the reno that I am doing on my house. Things in my house look cramped because I have the goods for my future pet store stored in my house as well as stuff stored for the the fish room I am doing in the basement. I really could not bring myself to toss $200 + out the window for storage rent when I would be able to neatly organize once I started my reno and I began that last week since my restaurant is closed for 3 weeks over christmas.
