i.. i live?

[sad_winslow]

That's a pretty decent list you've got there. Brace yourself.

I do a lot of those things already: I play a few instruments, work out regularly but don't dance because i have a bad back, grill often, am too big to slip n' slide(built rather like a linebacker), go to concerts, don't gokart but do go to arcades that have them and play games, skydiving is expensive and a little scary so i'll pass on that for now, do go to the zoo once in a while, hate golf, will consider hookah, go fishing once in a blue moon (but this is CA and licenses are expensive! $50, so you'd better mean it!), paintball I might consider but that requires a good group I don't have (I'd rather play Team Fortress 2 anyways), will consider comedy clubs, go to amusement parks a couple times a year, don't have a bike yet but am saving for one, cook frequently, gardening i avoid for the sake of the plants, go out and play catch with a football and kick a soccer ball and play badminton with a friend or two regularly but can't do too much volleyball cause of the jumping and back issues, can't afford to gamble on horses much but am planning on a summer casino run, the nearest baseball team is.. the SF Giants... watching a losing game can be fun and all, but you know, no way to a triathalon or marathon - i can't run, and i read books and magazines both on paper and via kindle CONSTANTLY.

*deep breaths*

So as you can see, I'm still at loose ends for things to do. Thanks for the suggestions!

I also do a bit of volunteer stuff, I may do a bit more - I just read about a local "computers for schools and poor people" program that may need some assistance. Also big on my list is a temp job or similar to bring in some cash for the summer.

And getting my ham radio setup going again. It's antenna season!

Oh, and as for jimhelm's idea.. Yeah, did I mention I'm in California too? But smoking bad. Meditation good.

Any other summertime suggestions?
