    My wife tells me that I stay too busy and do not relax enough. That my "mind" is always going and that I never take a break.

    There are several things that I do to relax, one is video games. Right now I'am playing left 4 dead. But sometimes playing video games dont really relax you.

    Some of the other things I like to do are hiking, camping, fishing and nature photography.

    There is no way to describe being out in the woods, listening to the trees, the wind, and the water flowing through the streams.

    To relax, I do any of the following:

    • Spend time with family and friends
    • Music (anything and everything music-related)
    • Watch an excellent movie(s)
    • Taking trips to our lake house (talk about peaceful)
    • Boating (night cruises around the lake, in particular)
    • Photography
    • Talking about anything auto-related

    When I wanna relax I watch tv or movies and also I can go out and just drive around that is pretty relaxing for me.

    I guess I do this stuff, but not really. I just spend a lot of time on the internet if I'm not out doing something fun/stupid/dangerous. I'm always relaxed, regardless of the situation.

    I relax by spending time with my son, or playing games on pogo.com.

    No, Chrysler made plenty of them (2001 Town & Country). I did, however, put in some better sway bars, a cat-back exhaust system, hotter plugs and wires and K&N filter that made it faster and better handling. I added some bling with the wheels and tires and the Altezza taillights and European headlights. Oh and since I was in the flooring business, I put in a very nice shag rug to cradle my Segway (and my toes). :D I'd like to do more, but can't afford it now.

    I know, I meant what you did to it - I've only seen a handful of other custom mini vans in real life.

    I love taking long walks, splash in the pool, hanging out with my family and friends, listening to all genres of music, riding the bike... Honestly, anything.

    Never, EVER post a picture of a swimming pool without at least one bikini-clad bather in the shot. That would be my rule if this were my forum. ;) :D
