other things you enjoy doing
« on: September 07, 2011, 01:06:35 PM »
Well guys let me get this side of the forum going.  Other than flying RC heli's what else do you like to do?   


I am Pinion's producer and main camera man.   We have really been focusing on getting more videos out and making plans for future fun fly events, we even have t-shirts on the way.   

Full time,  I am a firefighter paramedic.  I have been on the job for 19 years.  I am assigned to our TRT station and take care of the heavy rescue assignments.  I learned to cook just so I could get the station house of my choice. 

I am going to be working with Mitch Pricer and teaching him the ways of the kitchen... He is going to work with me on some smooth smack flying.. lol..

I also am a forum hound.  Love talking on these things and getting to know other people...

Mountain Biking! Just wish I had more time for it. Hard to decide to go biking or the the field and fly.
Lately I have been heading to the field but plan on getting back into the saddle a little more next year.
Hear is my current ride. Trek 9.8

Man that is awesome brother... My Brother received the Silver Star in Iraq along with a purple heart from the same incident.   He took an AK round to the chin.  He was lucky as hell as it hit him in the side of the chin and exited further down his jaw.  The Army was incredible on how it took care of the family during his trip home and all the way up to him receiving his medal.  In true warrior fashion, he declines the notion that he deserved it. 

Like I mentioned before... A special thanks for what you do...

Aside from helis, I enjoy shooting archery and guns, water skiing (anything on a lake really), zip lining, hanging out with my dog, and occasionally I find myself geeking out when a new video game is released  ;D

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for getting this started.

I like to take my winter time when I cannot fly and jump into my other addiction which is firearms. I go to the local indoor range a lot in the winter but also carry just about everyday as well. I game on the PS3 and jump around on forums a lot though also.

I am a QA & Performance Analyst at NiSource for my job and I really enjoy it so I don't have any complaints.

Glad to be a part of these forums!

Fishing and full size flying for me, but the expense of it generally limits the others, so what to choose, RC, Fishing or Full Size? My wife wants me to make her my hobby :o.....

Hey Jerry,

Cool to meet part of the team behind Pinion (at least meeting as far as a forum can let you meet). I found Pinion's counter part at a flea market (same dog puppet), maybe we could get together sometime such as next IRCHA and do a colab with Pinion and say his long lost cousin or brother from the first litter.

Hahah.

Love the videos. Keep 'em coming.

Those are also some beautiful machines. Nice! I finally got to go to a drag strip near Columbus that I didn't even know was there. I've never been to one until now. I got to see a lot of motorcycles race that day and it was awesome!
