What do I do in my life when I am not on Chess.com?

THIS

I used to be living on a 48-block Kiwifruit orchard from 2003 - 2006. This place was/is amazing:


The owners had a specialised orchard tractor, called the Fantini.

I was fortunate enough to have a few rides in it with the owner, John. 


They had to sell it because it was too unreliable, but before they got rid of it, I went for another ride. 



I still maintain regular contact with John and Aiden (his son) today. Often I will go back up and visit almost on a weekly basis. 



When I'm not doing my Kiwifruit orchard thing, I do these things: 


Going away on holiday 

When I'm not on holiday, I do these things: 

Anberlin

I made it on one of the live albums that they did: 

Some of the other bands I've seen are: Mumford & Sons, Skillet and Switchfoot to just name a few!

Some of the other people who I have gotten to meet up with is the UK personally, Rob Brydon

Plus, on the 4th of March, I got to catch up with Rob again.

On the 8th of April 2013, I got a titanium spine 8 hours later:

I hope that you have enjoyed seeing a little glimpse of what my life off Chess.com consists of.

Even though I have a disability, it doesn't stop me from living life to the MAX!
