I try to stay busy, but after a couple of months at home I get a little stir crazy. I've taken up photography and it's great fun, but I have recently picked up a hobby that I left when I was 12. Building balsa wood model planes. I am working towards building large radio controlled planes one day but I still have to master the little ones. Below is a photo of the first of my efforts. Hopefully I'll get better with time. Please share with all of us how you spend your free time.

| Kile, with a whole lot of prayer, maybe you can move up to the large planes. Try it, it never hurt. |

| When it's not raining, me and Catdaddy play alot of golf. The big guy and really kill the ball. Other than that, sit around and watch the weather channel praying for another Shreveport in '00. I was staff, but worked over 2000 claims. I'll take just half of that as an indy. |

| Kyle, I, like you, lose weight when working, for all the same reasons. When I'm not working, I also gain. I gain because of what I like to do when not on the road - cooking. I really miss good home-cooked meals. Tom and I play golf, but there hasn't been much golf weather since we got home in January from "Lili". We also spend a lot of time catching up on what didn't get done while we were on the road. |

| Janice, I also cook. My mom grew up in a house of 7 kids and she taught me how to cook so I don't know how to cook just a little and my girlfriend doesn't eat my cooking, apparently her tastebuds can't handle the cajun flavor enhancers that I use in abundance so I am left to finish off the leftovers on my own. I made a huge pot of spaghetti sauce today. I'll be working on that thing all week. I'm starting a new plane tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Hopefully I'll be able to get some golf in myself this week. |

I try to take it easy when I am on downtime. Right now, the boys and I are hooked on this new game we took up after they tore down my neighbor's house. Short is the one in the hat!

| That is a great pic of me. Thanks, Catdaddy. When I was in college, the pledges gave an award to the most cruel active and guess who won it. The award was a toilet seat which had written on it "Bastard of the Year". How fitting. |

I just finished a little project I am pretty proud of. Its a combination fire tower, deer stand, weather lookout station, weekend getaway, bachelor pad, retirement home. Its entirely self sufficient. I got the idea from those Biosphere people while watching the Discovery Channel. It uses only solar energy and is made completely of recycled Natural Lite cans. I got the ropes and ladders from a two-story assignment I got a while back. Figured I needed something for my trouble.
