Do you have any other hobbies?

With the wife and kids, I'm lucky to have the one, LOL!

I enjoy wargames and jigsaw puzzles.  Gives me something to do while the paint dries.

 My daily driver is a moderately lifted Jeep Cherokee with winch, floodlights, biggish tires, and a few other accessories. I'll spend the odd weekend exploring the mountains in northern Colorado with it. Actually heading up there Sunday.

    Also do a lot of free lance writing, but trying to turn that from a hobby into a profession.

Amateur astronomy (though I used to teach it), older computers, maritime writing and art. The latter two are more vocations and callings than hobbies...

Cheers,

Rob

Bass fishing. I run s small club. We have 12 to 15 tournaments a year. Also used to collect Hot Wheels cars gave up about 10 years ago. Got a little overwhelming. I still have about 2000 in the collection. John

Ham Radio, and flying, both in days past.  Just modeling now.

Coach high school basketball and occasionally write magazine articles about golf and basketball.

Photography, metal machining and anything to do with airplanes.

You often hear wood working, but hardly ever metal machining. What do you make, Bick?

Flying (turned my hobby into a job which was a mistake) and watching porn in all forms.

I currently enjoy hiking and rock hounding. I am also getting interested in model rocketry. Another hobby I enjoyed when I was younger and look to get back into.

I draw, but not as much as I used too. Something that's garnered a lot of my attention recently is dogs. Id like to get into dog sports and showing.

I have a lot of hobbies that I haven't been doing lately.  I am getting back into D&D, and my wife and daughter are getting into it as well.

Between work and other responsibilities,no other full blown hobbies.I do play an occasional round of golf,go to sporting events like baseball and hockey,read,travel,dine out with wife,but no real other hobbies.

I research the history of Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal mining, race dirt bikes in the 250 Amateur class (two stroke), and I love to read.

Photography is also fun when I'm exploring...

I enjoy throwing money into the hole in the water that I call my boat.

Outside of model building, my main hobbies are comic book collecting, watching bad movies and reading.  

Metalworking, woodworking, bicycle riding

I like gardening and growing some of the hottest peppers in the world.

I raise some Red Wiggler earthworms as well so that they give me one of the best fertilizers in the world.....worm castings.

I also like playing my Carvin DC127 electric guitar (Thanks Karl for the suggestion), collecting and hopefully someday making my own knives.

I like movies that aren't too over the top. Totally love the outdoors and walking my dogs. I've got a wall of books, half of them read, mostly history and fantasy. Music. I've always been a big fan of various kinds of music, mostly early 70's to mid-80's. A little woodworking too. And my dogs which somehow went from a hobby to something time consuming.

Hi Tim,

I've noticed that there aren't a lot of posts that mention metal lathes. I make a variety of things (for friends - parts for RC model planes or repair parts for OOP engines for example) but when I'm just having fun I like to build engines of various sorts. Here's a pic of a couple: On the left, a 'flame sucker' designed by Phillip Duclos and, on the right a not quite completed compressed air engine.

And the parts for the little CA engine -the stanchions are 0-80 threaded rod:

And I love my little Unimat 3 for making parts for scale plastic models.

Reading.  History.  Playing sports.  Computer security.

Sometimes it is more about finding the time, though.

I enjoy woodworking, RV travel with my wife, antiques, Civil War studies and battlefield visits, fly fishing, and I seem to be getting into restoring antique tool chests.

I collect coins and stamps, do some woodworking as well.  Used to do some wargaming...

I research the history of Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal mining,

Now THAT is unusual....I'm from Western PA which had a lot of coal mines (mostly bituminous) and my grandpap and others used to tell me stories

And as a kid I did a lot of shoveling coal for our furnace!

I like to cook. My wife finds recipes that she thinks are worth a try, and I go at it. We have pretty elaborate family meals on holidays.

I've gotten way past the grilling a steak stage, although that can be a bit of an art in itself.

I also like to read, at lest a book a week. I remember having a bit of a panic as a kid because it dawned on me that there wasn't going to be time to read all of the good books in the world. I was brought up without access to TV at home, which was an immense favor on the part of my parents. My wife on the other hand likes to watch a lot of TV, so it gives me a fair amount of time to model while she watches her shows. I don't miss her because we work together all day.

Or to read.

i also do most of the cooking and can get elaborate for the 2 of us. made jagerschnitzel and spatzle (not from scratch) tonight. i bike and play racquetball, play some computer wargames but that has really slacked off as my model building has increased. i read a lot but again not as much as 10 years ago.
