I collect things from my deployments, but I'm usually spending ( wife says wasteing ) money at the bike shops for my mountain bike on BMX. Same goes for my snowboards!
I also have a lot of those 12 in. tall army figure from dragon and 21st century.

I have several that I switch between:

Airbrushing, Bass Fishing, Computers, and Gardening.
Also Biblical studies (mostly apologetics and theology), but I wouldn't consider that a hobby really.
Other's that I don't do much any more are: Bowling, and shooting guns.
I bought a used Beeman Kodiak .25 cal air rifle recently that I like to play with once in a while too.
I also built and flew R/C gliders years ago and collected comic books.
Hey Woody, I have Iron Man #1 in VF condition and #2 in NM. My favorite comic was Thor and I still have over 300 of them. Big Smile [:D]

Tommy,

I used to play the 5-string myself. I still have my Ibanez Artist banjo too. Big Smile [:D]

I have lots of other hobbies, check out my profile. I especialy enjoy the sport of paintball, and I love doing video/audio stuff at school (we have a radio station, school TV network, and I run light/sound for local plays and events) and I enjoy almost anyhting outdoors like hiking, camping, ect. I also love flying, large and small. Ride the big ones, fly the small ones.:) I especialy love flying old WWII aircraft. We have an airfield near my home were a friend works that is a WWII aircraft restoration base were sometimes I can go up in small recon planes or an old Cessna (its a private airfield too)

I have several, of course fishing is one. Here are the others. NASCAR and NASCAR collectibles, my two youngest are bit with this bug also, with D.E. being the focal point. Photography, aircraft and airshows, car shows, auto races, aviation/military museums,and ships (past and present). It's all about the reference material. I collect coins and stamps with an aviation, military and vehicle theme. I read alot, fiction and non-fiction. Mr King should finish the Dark Tower series! Last but not least are my 87 Vette and the wifes' 68 Camaro RS/SS.

Don't know why i didn't spot this thread sooner. Well, like littlemoe and Captain Caveman, i collect Zippos (only have 4 so far, 2 are off for repair because of a failed attempt at holy volly...), but that's not really the hobby. I love to do tricks with them. All sorts of things you can do to open a zippo and get it lit. Any of you guys see the Zippotricks website before it closed?

Uh, i play magic the gathering (not really into warhammer, though. i figure i don't need another hobby to siphon money from my bank account). I like to perforate my friends with electronic bullets at the local internet cafe, read (mostly the starwars expanded universe stuff and Military history), Play PC games (for as long as it isn't doesn't need strategy, and it isn't an RPG. the only exeption is "Medeval Total War")...

Movies in the philippines are really cheap about US$3-5, so i collect movies and stay up late to watch them... (i must have something like 200++ titles). can't think of anything else, so there. Big Smile [:D]

Hunting, fishing, rolling my own ammo, NASCAR dicast and other NASCAR related items (I have an extensive Dale Earnhardt collection. Forever the Man!), camping, irritating the wife and I TOO have a teddy bear collection. Although, most of mine are NASCAR related.
