Depends: Boating, biking, wrenching...
I started rebuilding the carb off my friend's boat; got it all torn down last night...

If the rebuilt kit comes in and I can finish it up this week, I'll likely install it and commission das boot and take it for a tear and shake out the cobwebs.
Also, my neighbors boat has some issues I'd like to help him with: one of his outboards is leaking drive oil...it will likely need to be pulled and rebuilt, not sure I feel like doing that. He's also got some electrical gremlins I was checking out last night, but the damn panel was secured with security Torx screws...WTF!? :P
I also got my mountain bike put back together after cleaning/rebuilding the brakes, wheel hubs, and derailleurs. I still need a replacement fork and rear shock, and a pair of riding shoes, but it's good enough to at least go for a ride...and realize how fat I got over the winter. :P
K's car threw a CEL and it turns out an O2 sensor crapped out. I had the sensor ordered and picked it up last Fri, only to find out it's either the wrong one or my friend told me the wrong bank. :P I found out Vag-Com can do generic scans and I verified it briefly this w/e...but didn't have time to get used to it or diagnose the O2s.
I need to get cracking on the CQ, too. I think I'll start with the heater core, as that's the most fun. :/ At the same time, the tires are shot and one has a nail in it; no worry about them getting flat-spotted. :P
Also, I'd like to play with a '65 Malibu SS convertible a friend has in her garage. It's in relatively great shape but hasn't ran in 2 years; I love fussing with classic cars...no emissions systems and sh*t simple! That and it'd be fun to cruise around downtown.
