Don't know of any such sites.. but what I do when I'm bored and can't get into the mountains, I'm either reading or playing Multiplayer Return to Castel Wolfenstein.

Online gaming with high-speed connections is the greatest invention since the hiking boot.

Rainbow six
I was into rainbow six when it came out, but my connection was never fast enough to play online. I would get shot before I ever saw an opponent.

RB6 is very difficult I thought. I was raised on the Doom "grip it and rip it!" generation of games. LOL!

Nigal, I guess RB6 is a little more cerebral than Doom, but it still has the shoot'em up aspect. The bad guys are better shots than those Doom Zombies.

In addition to the shoot'em up there are other features such as the ability to create teams and lay out a plan of movement and action that keyed off your commands or other actions. It takes a lot of time to set everything up, but the set up was the fun part.

Stealth and planning is more important than a quick trigger and the ability to move fast, but you can still take on the bad guys with a blaze of fire and an attitude.

Since we're talking games, I'll mention this again, SWAT3, is a really neat game. Althought lately it has developed a glich or something. I'm clueless as to the reason because it used to run flawless. The game is how it sounds, you're a SWAT team leader and you and your crew can either go in quietly or with a flash and bang.

My project at hand are these 3 old chairs, 120+ yrs old I would say. Worthless as far as I know but they were free and looked as if they could go for a make over. They originally had a cane or rush bottom round seat. The backing is a 3ply veneer with decorative cut out in the center of each chair. I have already refinishing one chair in the stain that I like, and now plan to do the rest. I don't think I will try to re-cane these and have choosen instead to use a low grade buckskin(more rustic) on the seats with a little padding underneath. In the end I hope they keep that old school look.

Got a deer feeder to build this spring.

A springtime is right around the corner and that means my garden beds will be gettin some attention wants the weather finally breaks. I can't wait to get the fingers dirty.

Nigal - Return to Castle Wolfenstein is EXCELLENT. The single player is above average, but it's the multiplayer action that really shines. PC Gamer magazine named it the best multiplayer game of the year. I've literally played 5-6 hours straight on several occasionals, which is scary.

I just can't get into the multi-player games online. I spend way too much time on here the way it is. Last game I got was Quake I, II and Arena III. I played for a month straight until I was cross eyed. Soldier of Fortune is a very cool game. We're talking blown off heads, arms, legs, very real.
