Seriously, what would you rather be doing?

[SeriousStudent]

I am a simple man, with simple needs.

Every year they do the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Somebody has to use a teeny little paintbrush to flick the sand off those poor girls on the beach.

I'm that guy.

Very cool, Honu!

I've looked at quite a number of cats and the "Xquisite X5" has won me over.

pretty freaking nice

our boats were nice for charter boats and we sailed em hard and fast so very true of what he said in the vid about air con or ice maker etc...

our galley was pretty basic ahhahahahaha

that would be so fun to live and sail on that met a few families in my times in various parts of the world working on water that did takes quite a bit to do it as far as giving up to get which is a balance we all work with

interesting with all the lines coming into the helm and how they go under the one cabin for sure would help hearing what he said about single person would be a nice family rig for sure
fun to hear compressor on board
need to have a spare 1.2 mil I can afford to loose if she goes down or afford the insurance hahahahahah

a few folks I met in world travels that are hardcore and love steel boats (monohull) since anyone anywhere can weld enough to patch
but the other side since most cats are composite or older ones wood is the speed stability and low draft comfort and the list goes on and they end up swear by cats once they actually traveled/lived on them
having worked on both (and a Tri) and been around them a lot I only want a cat

have anyone of you wanted to sail the Mediterranean? Hot Air Balloon over the Swiss Alps? River Boat down the Nile? Dive the Great Barrier Reef? Ride in the Baja 1000? Take a blimp over Europe? Race in the Bullrun/Gumball Rally? Explore the Amazon? I really wanted to know if there was something really special that you really would rather be doing. Just you, even for just a week.

Put on this scale, I want to spend a year exploring the Australian Outback in a Rover, hunt Africa for the Big Five with my Marlin LTD 45-70 and get the Grand Slam hunting Mountain Sheep with my .280 Remington Mountain Rifle. I would ride the Colorado River from where ever it starts, through the Grand Canyon and follow it until it peters out. I would plan a trip around the US, exploring all the 4x4 trials in my Jeep. I would build a replica of the DeHaviland Mosquito and race it at Reno. I would pay John for a flight in his restored DeHaviland Vampire. I would go to Iceland and go on a 4x4 expedition driving across the Arctic ice cap. I would get one of those submarine yachts and explore the Great Barrier Reef. I would take my family to Chile and have my son show us where he served his two year mission for the church. I would hunt doves in Argentina. I would buy a few B.A.R.s and a huge pile of tracer ammo and, on my father's birthday, hold a memorial shooting event with my family. Of course, we'll all be bringing our Garands and 1911s as well. I would hunt Alaska. I would hunt Alaska many times.

I would go to a Dodger game in every stadium they play in for a season. I would collect the life stories on video of some very interesting people I know. I would fly P-51 Mustang over the polar ice cap and drop a letter over the North Pole for the kids. I would hunt someplace that could only be reached on horseback. I would motorcycle across Europe with my wife. I would fly a dirigible or a PBY Catalina around the world. I would book a flight with Space X. I would make an adventure packed movie with cool firearms, steely-eyed heroes working for a secret organisation like O.A.S.E.S., a guy in an eye patch bent on world domination and amazing tech toys, shot on exotic and beautiful places around the world. Then I'd write a book about my life as an adventurer to pay for it all.

I would be freakin' exhausted!

Sounds like a solid week friend!

Me? Living in and around the Florida Keys. Small comfortable conch house on a canal. Medium sized boat, 70'-85'. Cruising from the Keys to Nassau, Exuma, St. Thomas, St. Barth's, Turks & Caicos doing some island bike riding, wreck/reef diving, island cooking, photography, hiking etc. Spend 6-8 months a year traveling through the Caribbean living on a boat.

What about you? What would you rather be doing?

I'm already doing it and "it" is never doing the hurricane drill again.

Counting the largest Powerball winnings in history, waiting for my trust paperwork to go through, while browsing Class III sales sites on the interwebz.

Explore the west in an ultralight.

Open a combined shooting range and recycling center.

Follow the Mediterranean coast line from Spain to Greece, including the islands.

I am going to build airplanes. My first one is probably going to be a RV7a and then a Rans S-21 after that. That should keep.me busy for at least ten years in my spare time.

[Ron3]

In a world full of consequences, laws, and VD?

I'm not sure. Still looking for ideas I guess.

A giant, private range would be nice. Lots of open tracking and amature door to door racing would be great.

Not having to work is tops or course.

I love my job but I love my kids more......I would rather spend more time with them.....traveling, doing adventure type stuff whether it be sailing a boat in the Caribbean or hiking in the western US or on the AT. My kids are young so I would rather have the time with them now. However, with bills to pay and mouths to feed and nothing in this world is free...Hiho, hiho.....
