Smile What Do You Like To Do On Your Days Off?

Hey guys.

Im at home sick and i was just thinking about what i would be doing if i was well and got me thinking. What do you guys like to do on your days off? I love fishing. Taking the XR400 out and thrashing it within an inch of its life. Just relaxing with mates and doing nothing. Oh and cruizin all though it costs money!

any 24 hour period without work is generally spent flat on my back sleeping recovering from previous long haul shifts/ preparing for next

Days off usually involve something with cars, be it forum stuff or just friends or me detailing mine (or other people's cars).

Considering I work as a detailer that kinda doesn't make sense :

Catch up on some shows that were taped and I haven't got around to watching, if it's a nice day I have a vintage motor bike I like to tonk around on, or as with most here, work on the ca (XC).
Always some sort of maintenance, plus what ever I just got off ebay for her.
Have some rear inertia seat belts to fit.

Unplanned days off, just sleep in for a bit and try do some of the household stuff I keep putting off.

Planned days off, thats a different kettle of fish. I make sure we hit the town the night before with mates (who all have "arranged" the same day off), sleep in (if I end up back home from the previous night, otherwise I get home at daybreak with a smile a mile long on my face) and fire up the BBQ at some stage in the arvo.

Days off? Hah.
Haven't had a sat-sun weekend for 4 years.
Right now going 4 days uni 4 days work with the option of doing extra work (not possible with uni) or taking a day less work.
Next semester 5 days uni 4 days work... this aint no arts course either, 3-8 hours a day uni and follow that with 7 hours work friday.

I'm supposedly studying at uni but I never go to any classes or do any work so I guess everyday is a 'day off'. Lol. Anyway, I spend to much time on AFF, Youtube (watching hoons do burnouts etc.). Anyway, exams in 4 weeks... so I guess my lazing days are over.

Not too much. Mow the lawn, crash out on the couch. Take the ute for a spin.

Cheers
