I have taken quite an interest in cooking over the last few years myself Jake, there really is a sense of relaxation to be found in it for me. I dont do fancy foods, I do meaty comfort foods, but I shock everyone with what I turn out around here.

Same with me i used to be a chef by profession then in 1994 I got my BS degree from UNR and changed my profession to CIS working for the Federal Government. Now I love cooking but when I was a Chef it was just a job.

Cool. Did you work in Vegas? I ran a smallish (compared to Vegas) Hotel/Casino kitchen serving multiple venues, for a few years.

No not in Vegas but in Reno at J. A. Nugget from 1978 to 1983 (Rooster Room, Steakhouse) and at the Peppermill from 1984 to 1988.

Arguing with my wife(Jeannie) is my #1 hobby, followed by the ElCamino (on the back burner because of health issues right now) then building Model cars and semi trucks! (just really stated back up after about a 7 years hiatus)

I've got this model sitting next to my desk right now Johnny, brand new never opened, the plastic is still on the box

http://cgi.ebay.com/1975-Ertl-1%2F25...28171001r27087

I found it in my parents basement after mom passed away, along with about 50 or 60 other brand new models. I think this is the only semi though
