Taste of smoked meat
Cows (amazing device for converting grass into nomnomnoms)
The swirl marks on machined alluminum parts
Any decent beer in a frosted glass
The Cummins Turbo Diesel
chesse-it's()
Women in cowboy boots...not so much the trendy sorority girl type "look
at the boots I got at the mall" cowboy boots, but the real things.

my daughter telling all the boys about my crawler
throaty v-8's
dimple dies
tig welds on cro-moly
tire smoke
smell of race gas

poon tang

Hmmm...things I like:

driving up something I never thought I'd be able to do
playing online video games with friends
the relaxed feeling of lying in bed right after a shower
goin fishing and seeing the sunrise over the water
lyin in a hammock under a palm tree on a beach
jamming for hours with other guitarists
goin thru a couple hundred rounds shooting at whatever
the satisfaction of hitting a bulls-eye with my bow
enjoying a great slice of NY pizza
watching my dogs run and play
floating in a pool like a piece of driftwood
working on my Jeep
watching movies on opening night with a wild crowd
making a knife stick when you throw it!
designing stuff...drawing it up, then having it built!



or doing the same with small stuff in my garage! (Jeep stuff, doghouses...you get the idea!)

...and most of all, making my wife happy!!


cool thread...BTW!

The ozone smell of a a thousand cores in a rack making me money.
Snooty beers that no one else knows about.
Taking a nap in my kayak in the backwaters of a salt marsh on a spring day.
Dropping idea bombs on stunned product managers.
Waking up alone on a desert hill, with no one else around for miles.
Sleeping on the beach.
A 27" redfish on the end of 10lb test on a light-action rod.
Making that line in the jeep that always seemed impossible.
That final moment in a project where you've soldered hundreds of custom wire runs.
-- And then find everything worked.
A most perfect black and white print.
The girls at art openings.
The girls at your house after art openings. (Ok, so that doesn't happen any more =)
Knee-high striped socks.
Knee-high striped socks on a woman.
Working for hours, weeks, months, years on a project and watching it succeed beyond my dreams.

simple

My wife, my kids, my life

my wife
my kids
my dog
my jeep
deep sea fishing
hike trails
Tv shows like UFC, CSI, Modern Marvels, and How it's made
the smell of Gun smoke
puppy breath
and baby's hair

Texas
The Marines
The small of a womans back
A woman who can push me on single track
Texas A&M
Runs on the beach
The smell of a feshly plowed field
Roller coasters
Brushed aluminum
Doing anything with my dad
Spicy food

In no particular order:

going for drives in my jeep on summer nights
the ocean
hiking with nothing much around but the wind and small animals
drinking a few beers or wine and falling asleep on my deck
athletic legs on a woman
feeling smoked but great after a good workout
creating something with my bare hands
my pets
knowing I'm loved by someone
being able to love back
a good steak
getting to relax with friends
the smell of Hopp's bench rest 9
singing, playin' harmonica & jamming with musicians
finding $10 in an old pair of pants
not having regrets

Thank's G!!

wow was that deep

living in a small town.
going to friday night football games.
having some of the same teachers that taught me teach my daughter.
driving in the Jeep with my daughter and nephews singing "chicken fried" out loud.
living in an area where I still feel safe enough to leave my doors unlocked.
sitting on my porch and hearing coyotes, not car horns.
and Texas A&M.

That's about as deep as I can get when I'm trying to work and surf forums at the same time

Hearing my kids laugh
The smell in the air before it rains
Seeing a job through to completion
When the National Anthem plays at an event
Hanging out with friends
A cold beer after mowing the lawn
Taking a nap
Traveling
Hanging with my kids
Talking about my Army days with old Army buddies

Saving my place for some deep thoughts later...

we're waiting..........

I'm not deep enough in thought yet :idea:

Here are a few... the list is long and distinguished:

My Wife
My Kids
My kids laughing
My kids smiling
My kids sleeping
My house on the end of the street
The combination of my easy chair, my big azz TV, surround sound and a cold glass of iced tea.
Baseball and Football
Having friends that I can count on
The smell and taste of nitro-methane... burning your eyes is a bonus
Sitting on the back porch after the yard has just been mowed

Bringing hope to a miserable situation... which goes with the fact that I enjoy having the nads to run towards something that everyone else is running away from.

i like fuzzy puppies
kittens
bunnies
rainbows
long walks on the beach
:crazy2:
ok strippers
drunk chicks
and your little sister

Cold beer
being around all my friends
having my jeep do something that nobody thought i could do
the looks on peoples faces when i list what i've replaced on my jeep
the sunrise over the coast as i'm reeling in a trout
my family
the army
any chick that can actually deal with my bullshit
any chick that doesnt come with bullshit
the sound of my dog alseep on my chest

I like...

Brandi's smile and the joy she has given me
the happiness of my dogs, when I come home
the satisfaction knowing that I've done a job that other co-workers couldn't
being able to just BS w/friends
the quailty friends that I've obtained, just because I bought a Jeep who I probably never would have meet if not
the places the Jeep has taken me too
sitting at the house, with the music cranked
nature
watching the gracefulness and alertness of the predator birds
watching other predator animals in nature
doing routine maintance on a vehicle with my dad

I miss...
just chillin on the boat in the middle of the lake, the peacefulness
sleeping on the water
the sounds of boat motors on the lake
camping, hiking
waking up with the morning dew
the sound of bacon sizzling in the morning at camp with the smell of coffee brewing
the smell of freshly cut grass
the security of a small town
the quietness of a small town
what it means/feels like to have weekends off
being able to see the stars at night
the innocents and freedoms of my youth

I Like...........

watching George smile
Making my little girl Ally smile
visiting with old people and listening to them talk
playing with my chihuahuas
mowing my yard
sitting outside in the dark listening to the frogs and crickets chirp
waking up each morning knowing I am still in love with the man next to me and knowing that he is still in love with me!
the way baby's smell
watching a bird take flight
swimming in the ocean
taking photo's
watching people laugh
talking to my mom about the old days
taking a scenic ride through the country
visiting historic places
walking through old historic cemeteries

Most of all I like going back home to visit my family in Mississippi and letting Ally and G hear all the stories my family has to tell there is a true feeling of home and comfort there for all of us!

And I like this thread !
