What does everyone do in his or her spare time?
Reason I ask is, we all have jobs or school to deal with when we aren't doing something car related.
Currently, a friend and I have started tearing down a 305 to get experience in rebuilding engines. We've decided to throw this engine in to get the 84 running once I pay it off. Also, once the car is home, we're rebuilding the front suspension (I have the parts in the garage, just need to paint them up)
I plan to take pictures of the entire process, as I've taken some snapshots of the engine disassembly. Who knows, I may set my webcam up to my laptop, and have it take a picture every 5 minutes. We'll have to see.
EDIT-- I know, I know, I should set up a webpage for these, I'll get to it eventually.
The engine pictures are located in the links below

Lets see, free time....
Normally if I want to stay inside I work on some sort of computer related thing, normally photoshopping something just for the hell of it.
But sometimes I get some energy and I just drive somewhere, and start walking (one good thing about living in the middle of nowhere)while I walk I take pictures.. and yes, I have done this during huge crazy storms..
I dunno, thats what Ive been doing lately with my spare time, if it was the summer Id be swimming right now.

Yeah Jon, I truly am that bored
Considering that I don't have much money right now (can't really work on anything now) and work is almost dead, I've plenty of free time to just screw off. My girlfriend lives two hours away, so we don't visit much. But I am going down to spend the night for V-Day (HELL YEAH)

yeah craiger, i am going through the cisco accadmy, it is a little easier than i was expecting, i am just starting the 3rd sem.
I start to wonder what the difference between a job and free time is.. =)
I am going to school full-time for computer science, I work full time at a transitional group home for delinquents, I am designing the web page for my Church, I teach 1st grade sunday school, make a little music (www.mp3.com/mscf if you want to hear it...), give lessons on Digital Recording to a guy in town, and.. oh! my fiance and I are planning our wedding. =)
Thing is, I love it all, so I guess I don't ever really work. =)
