for me the one thing away from the computer beyond spending time with my family and best bud Boomer the Golden Retriever, it would have to be fishing.
Late night, standing hip deep in the Gulf of Mexico listening to the water lap the shore, every now and then a fish break the water in a splash or just popping a bug off the serfice. It's really nice, moonlight shimmering upon the water and the stars so bright it seems you can see forever.
Manatee's will swim right up on you and hang around nibbling sea grass, or a huge school of trout or redfish will come screaming through leaving floreciant streamers in their wake, all around you, passing between you legs or ducking aroudn the outside of you at the last moment. Talking with my older brother about all kinds of things, not talking for hours and then someone, maybe me, feels a tug or hears a clicker * tick, tick... * and then you rush through the water in the hope you can have it in your hand before it starts cutting the night screaming as the line is pealing out. Maybe you set the hook, maybe you complain about the weak new fishing line
and head to shore to tie on a new rig.
You might not even get a bite but it's worth it...
The beach with my dog, he loves it which in tune makes me love taking him. Though I've always been a nature nut beach bum, deep woods, brdige jumping river rat in some shape or form.
oh and I make noise with my Fender 6 string acustic, riding my YZ-250 or my 1968 Superbee...
