OT - Besides flight sim

In the real world I play bass (and sing a bit) in a band. We're starting to do acoustic gigs, which means I have to remember what the other two strings are for - chords, or something? Gaming-wise I can't cope with all out war but I love sneaky 1st person shooters like Quake 2, Half Life, Half Life 2.

Is that published anywhere? I really enjoyed the Firefly 'verse. Thinks - maybe you could finish off The Sarah Connor Chronicles? I was gutted when they cancelled it.

Well I guess I do a lot of things besides flight-simming although it is right up at the top of things I love to do.

I fly ultralights when I can-usually rent
I hunt and fish every chance I get
I build gamer computers-no secret there
I host at a local karaoke bar, sing online at SingSnap and sing for $$$$-Hey we partially un-employed gotta earn a living

Off the PC I play hockey, do alot of reading... nothing else really comes to mind as hobbies.

On the PC, besides MS Flight Sim I play Rise of Flight (I am a moderator on the RoF boards under the name Bleddyn) and I do alot of online racing on rFactor.
 
My main hobby these days is genetic genealogy. I started paper trail genealogy back in '89 and started doing genetic testing as soon as it became available. I have learned a lot of history along the way. BTW I am related to ALL of you! MUAHHHAAAA:icon_twi:

I also enjoy shooting everything I can get my hands on. Got special love for my longbow though.
