Volunteer locally to give back. Great starting point is United Way's website. Get active at your church. Volunteer at Big Brother Big Sisters. Hundred of children on the waiting list for mentors like you!

Volunteering is a great idea. I hope when I have more free time I'm able to do that.
Or, you can fly/build model rc airplanes/helicopters? Its fun until you break them...

Turns out the real attraction for many is that they can legally pay hot women to have sex with them, and leverage the first amendment to keep those pesky law-enforcers at bay. All you have to do is leave a cam-corder on and post the vids on a website. Now you know the rest of the story...

That might work in the San Fernando valley.

In other parts of the country (e.g. bible belt), you will find yourself charged with a felony obscenity charge.

Pet sitting business. Quick cash and the reward of helping out some animals that would otherwise be stuck in a kennel. Practically no start up costs!

My plan at least when my time opens up.

Not gonna go into details, but Rickair is right. No, I don't mean me.

I have flown with guys who do seemingly everything under the sun. Real estate seems to be a common side gig in and out of aviation.

Most of all, I hope folks can get out and volunteer!

Seems like a good idea, I've thought about it myself....mostly for my wife to do since she is home almost always. I like your username

I have to quit skimming some of these threads so quickly. Here's what I initially got out of this one:

Context is so important!

As for activities on the side - I don't think you could go wrong with producing explosives in your basement, but I could be wrong about that.

Nice...Thanks all. It has given me some good ideas and some, well, that aren't so good. But, I do live in the bible belt, and the churches might not agree too much with that around here...
thanks through, for the great ideas!
