Besides working on our Oldsmobiles, what else soaks up your paycheck?

Besides the stereo in my Olds my hard earned cash goes to Rays Sport Shop. Either to the shooting range or purchasing guns. Saw a nice little S&W revolver in .357 the other day that I have my eye on.

I also play ice hockey. Nothing too serious, just a men's league, the kind of league that there is a cooler of beer waiting for you in the locker room after the game. I used to race BMX, so when i was younger all my money went to buying bike parts.

hmmm... hockey and beer, yea you said it right there. I played hockey on a team all through grade school... then varsity all 4 years in high school. Haven't been on the ice since. I miss it alot, wish my college had a hockey team but no luck. I should get on a men's league team to get back into it.

model cars,my car, I have'nt worked for a month...the only drawback to Small Engine Repair

men's leagues are fun, i used to play alot a few years ago. i was on two teams at the same time and i used to drive the zamboni at a local rink, i would always have my equipment with me so i would play if a team was short a player.

I ride/race dirtbikes but my tranny is kinda fragged in my normal trail bike (no first gear)and I need to find a new race bike, but first I need to get more money too, kinda broke. I used to play paintball but it started getting to expensive, and my gun broke, last time I played was last thanksgiven (not this one) and I borrowed my friends gun and ended up massacring everyone, I almost forgot how good I was. and I snowboard, but I didn't go last year and only once the year before, when I go this year I'm going to probably spend most of my time rolling down the moutain. I used to draw too, I was pretty damn good but I really stayed into it.

I love my cars, but I also love my computers! Yep. I am a computer geek (hence the computer in the car). I have been deeply into computers for 11 years now, since I was 10. I am saving my $$$ to get some papers behind my skills in computers, I plan to take a Computer Sciences course at the univeristy once I catch up with myself fianancially.

Other than keeping my olds squeaky clean, and my computers up-to-date, I like flatland BMX. I've been albsolutely mezmorized by flat-land for about 4 years, and have a lot of basics down, but nothing extremely fancy.

You can take courses from NRI...from home...that's where my dad learned...he's one of the top five techs/programers in the state

flatland? thats awesome. in addition to racing i rode street and some dirt jumping. still have my street bike (S&M Holmes) and my cruiser (TNT Stovepipe XXL) but i sold my 20" race bike (Standard Bicycle Motocross). certainly had some good times while racing, going to national events was the best.
i'm gonna start snowboarding again this year too, now that i have my ankle fixed i am gonna dust off my brand new board and head up to Hunter Mtn in NY. the roof rack is going back on the car. a few years ago i bought a new board and bindings, got a killer deal, $420 for board and bindings, Burton Canyon 167 ($465) and Burton CFX bindings ($250).

Yay, I'm not the only other computer geek on here! My free time is taken up by college, trying to keep my car cleen, working third and second shift all the time, and playing with one of my many computer projects. This summer I am thinking of starting a small "business" of fixing computers. Nothing to big but it will bring in some extra money.

Yes... PC Repair is a great way to earn bits and peices... And if you are a reasonable rate, you can even be under-the-table, and avoid the tax man. Around town, I charge 25.00/hr (CDN), and I do housecalls, whereas the computer places in town start at 60.00 per hour! And they dont even come to your house! The only reason I stoop to 25.00 per hour is I havent taken my A+ certification yet... People wont pay top dollar, unless you've got papers! (BTW, A+ is such a joke).

I usually make a 10.00 house call fee, and a minimum of 1/2 hour. So, no matter what, I walk away with 22.50. Easiest money I know how to make.

And you would NOT beleive how many people will get to know your name and number if your customers are happy.... especially older people, since they are very gossipy. Anyways, just some input on your idea there, 95cierra. I'd be interested to hear your plan! Maybe we can share some more ideas... Its very easy cash!

I love cars, especially olds. I really like airplanes, was going to school to be an aviation mechanic, but 8-10 yrs of 3rd shift kinda turned me away, I hate working overnight not much of a night person. I loved going to school at an airport that was awesome. I also love R/c anything, i had a plane for a week, but it's in peices now I'm going to stick to cars.

Well....as you should know, I also am into computers a lot too...I plan to have a career in it, not too sure what yet...maybe programming, maybe I'll work at a name brand computer company....I don't know....but I love to play around with them and I was a workaholic at our current free host (fixing peoples forums....Invision and phpBB [Top Tech Support Person @ Wavenom]), but I calmed down due to the main reason my dad died was because he was a workaholic and didn't get enough sleep...

I also love my car audio, I am thinking of a career in it, maybe take classes for MECP....but I just think I'll leave it as a hobby.

My dad charges $65.00 phr for the first time...he comes to you,he's A+ certified (didn't like that remark)...

primer, didn't mean that the certification is a joke - what you need to know to get it is.
I have all the A+ books at home, I've been looking through them, and the prerequisites for the A+ test are very basic, and you just need general knowledge, and common sense to pass. There is a 3 month night course for A+, or you can buy the books, study at home and then walk into the college classroom for an hour to write the test. Costs all of $300.00! I dont even know why I haven't done it yet!

Your dad gets 65.00/hr american??? I am working in the wrong city! Is it just general PC repair? Thats cool. I am going to have to revise my billing system!

yep he does...
