What do you do for fun? I have an extensive music collection on CD and vinyl and frequently go to concerts. Music is one of my great escapes. The eternally wise Briscoe Darling said, "Ya got time to breathe, Ya got time for music." I like to travel to old favorites and new places too. When traveling somewhere new I always try to find the local "mom and pop" hole in the wall places to eat.  I like old cars and trucks. I'm a minitrucker at heart and Minitruckin' in Maggie Valley, NC every April  is one of the things I look forward to the most.  I am in the middle of restoring/restomodding my 1978 Toyota Hilux. This will be the third truck I have taken completely down to the bare frame and rebuilt. This one is special. The first time I picked my wife up for a date was in this truck. I'm also into video games, specifically original Nintendo and Super Nintendo.
