    DF, you're looking at what I do when I'm outside of classes. :thumbsup:  It sucks going to school 350 miles from home when I have quite a bit of time off that I'd much rather be putting into working on the Chally.  The way I look at it, the car can wait a little longer while you get situated for the rest of your life. :2thumbs: :cheers:  It also helps when you can meet up with friends who have their cars done as it seems to satisfy the MoPar disease. :cheers: :2thumbs:

       :iagree:

     My "off" time is when I'm sleeping, and I'm not sure I even get enough of that. Thankfully there is an invention called coffee in the morning.  :jumping:

    If moparclown is an old fart (nearing 40), what's that make us 50+ guys, semi-corpses. Anyway, I joined a dart league & play every wednesday night, get my kids almost every friday, play in the odd euchre tournament on weekends and try to see a "guy flick" at least once a month...that's to name just a bit.

    While I am not working its the internet (thats right thats during work too), playing pool, working on the challenger or running pool tournaments. I belong to the largest amateur pool league in the world (The APA) and its largest area is right here in Maryland. We have over 1,500 teams here. I am the Tournament Director for them out here and we have several weekends (about 34) filled with Tournaments. All of that and the girlfriend keeps me pretty busy. I love going to work, because thats the time of day that I get a break.
