Any of you ------s get away from having your stool packed long enough to have any outdoor/active hobbies like rappelling or caving? Thinking about getting into it as an alternative to just hiking and looking at all of these fun looking rock faces or vertical cave entrances, and actually being able to do something with them.

No.
In other news, I had forgotten what a drag a 3rd party antivirus can be on a low-end system. Just uninstalled Avast on my laptop and installed MSE and things are much snappier.
EDIT: I did, however, work the ropes course and rock wall at a summer camp when I was in college. Climbing is pretty fun. Just seems like something that is a thrill for a few days, and then it slowly becomes one more thing to geek out and get stressed about. I like physically competitive field sports as hobbies. If I suck at it, my only recourse is to work out and get better (though plenty of guys do go buy more expensive equipment).

There is nothing more motivating than running up and on the UNR female track team in small sports attire on the uphill switchback trails in military pt gear, a flack jacket, web belt, canteen, camel back, kevlar helmet, gas mask carrier with gas mask (not on my face, im not a marine), and my GSG-522 as a simulated M4 on my back with 3-point harness.
I thought this CCT Travis Challenge was going to kill me, but if I see that everyday I might survive.. I might.
P.S.: My dog is a terrible running partner. Its either full speed or stop. About pulled me to the ground so I turned around and put her back in the house.

my ***** never felt so magical in a pair of underwear before, this is a new experience for me. I usually throw my underwear out after the elastic goes bad or it gets eaten away by too many washings. Its like commando hybrid.

The hotel I am in this week for business has amazingly shitty wifi. It will connect for about 30-45 seconds and then drop you. Tethering with 2 3g bars through my phone is faster.

If I had an amp laying around I'd be tempted to toss this in the trunk of one of our cars just for kicks and giggles. But if I ever do another trunk sub, it'll be something more like a single 10" in a sealed box.

Caving/rappelling might be my cheapest hobby ever. Initial investment for good quality equipment is only about $600, not including helmet and lighting, which I will have to ponder upon for a bit longer. I'll have everything I need for proper ascending and several ways of properly and safely rappelling/descending in multiple environments. For sure going to practice a lot on trees and open rock faces before I go into pitch black, wet and muddy caves and try to get myself killed. I'm pretty sure t-ball when I was 4 years old cost my mom more than that in 1980's currency.

Instead of acting like the hustler we all know and love, it's like you somehow had your ***** invert, and grew a big giant vagina. You are acting like an insecure woman who is so desperate for attention that you'd go to a bar and blow any guy that so much as looked your way.
What the **** is going on with you? Has the gf really whipped you that much? Are you going pre-op without telling us? What is it Hustler?
I'm pretty sure no one here would listen to you or let you tune our cars, or hell, take your goddamn advice on anything if you were as bad as you say. So seriously, what the **** is it man? What is with the transformation from the old Alpha hustler to the new Omega (Yeah, it's so bad you aren't even ******* Beta) no-self-confidence hustler?
