After BMX?

[RATTY]

So you have finally hung up your lid. Your bored and miss the buzz of racing. What hobbies you taking up?

Hey Tony,  Good question

I do a lot of lego now to keep the grey matter ticking over. 

I know a lot of people are doing fishing.  Just chilling and having a few Beers.

..I keep looking at model railways. I never had one as a kid so there is no nostalgia there, I don't know where it comes from. Still, I follow YouTube channels about it, I pour over retailer websites...I think it is almost inevitable that I take the plunge. However it is frightfully expensive and I don't have much cash.

Good question.

It's funny because in 2018 I was riding park for the first time ever. All of a sudden I got old fast and the arthritis set in.

Now? well thankfully I have always been a bit of a nerd so computers are one of my passions. Like, big, showy water cooled builds and so on. And gaming of course, never got bored of that. I also take great pride in my stereo system and surround etc. I also like carpentry but alas like BMX I think this year will be my last hurrah at that too. Nowadays I have a CNC router I make stuff with. Mostly computer stuff.

I'm also going to get back into "Lego". Well, knock off Lego. I bought me a 4500 piece kit to build a roller coaster. Fully functional it is too ! as soon as I get back home after Christmas I shall begin on that.

This is my big "show build".





I recently upgraded all of the fans to ones with screens in the centres.

The computer stuff leaves me cold but you did say 'I also take great pride in my stereo system'. Is this for music or big TV stuff / film?  The comment peaked my interest as I looked at my stereo setup as I read it. I am not cutting edge! I still have, and use, my Rega Planar 2 that I bought as a student over 30 years ago. I still have a tuner connected although, since Test Match Special no longer broadcast on LW it has been dormant. This topic just made me think, sorry.
