I love tent pegging! Yea, great stuff. I've been doing that professionally for years. I enjoy it the most on the weekends with my friends. BTW, what is tent pegging?

Thank you Alan, I was too embarrassed to ask.

More broadly, it refers to the entire class of mounted cavalry games involving edged weapons on horseback, for which the term "equestrian skill-at-arms" is also used.

Interesting stuff.

I reckon you would have read the last post the quote from wikepedia tells it right. I was one for many years a trooper in the South Australian Mounted Cadre (police) where we were taught the use of sword and lance, assault courses on horse back using the sword to engage stuffed target etc. Lots of fun, a real adrenalin buzz, I now get that from team roping which is quite popular over here.

Well before getting married I loved motorcycles and racing superbikes. I held a race license and spent way to much money going fast. If you think razors are a bad (expensive) habit, try racing.... I married a gal who lost a best friend to a motorcyle accident, so that has caused some tension. Currently I am bikeless and hopeful. Though my racing days are over. all though, cage racing... Well thats safer :-D

Sailing has always been a huge part of my life. While I am currently boatless, I will always have a place in my life and heart for sailing and boating in general.

I love to read all kinds of stuff, really anything goes. Just finished, The Fountainhead, and Shogun. I am currently reading the National Geographics History of Civilization.

Since meeting my wife, I have learned to enjoy gardening. By that I really love digging holes where she tells me, and moving bags of mulch, rocks, stone, etc.. I do however enjoy sitting out and enjoying all of her hard work. I can't wait to see what she will do to the new house.

I have started to rekindle an old interest in woodworking. I have started looking at all kinds of fun stuff to buy, so that I can build stuff for the new house. I even took the 3 car garage option so I will have shop space.

I have a 120 year old G.L.Watson Gaff Cutter for sale Would put your woodworking to test and help alleviate the sailing pangs to boot
