What are some of your other hobbies or interests???

Hey Guys,

I thought I'd start this thread to see what other hobbies or interests are that some of you have. For instance I like to golf with the wife and we also do some air rifle shooting together as well. Golf is getting better for both of us but we don't play nearly as much as we'd like. The shooting is kinda fun I have found a place to download targets on-line and there is even a golf game target. We started with a Benjamin 397 pumper that will do 800 FPS in .177 caliber. I switched the stock rear blade sight out for a peep sight and it's very accurate. I have the wife hitting a dime taped to a box at 20 yards with it. We also just bought a new Ruger Air Hawk which is actually an RWS 34 if I remember right. It's a break barrel rifle that will do 1000 FPS in .177 and has a 4 x 32 scope on it. It's got a ton of power and can reach out much farther than the 397. It works really well for spanking gophers in the field behind my house. They don't even have a clue as to what just hit em'.

So what are your other interests??

I'm stereophile. But I mostly have proaudio equipment to jam on music. I like to find ways to get great sound without spending an arm and a leg on highend equipment in either your car or house. I still use cassettes and it's always fun to watch the ipod youngster look at you funny when you pull out the metal sony walkman and hit the a reverse switch.
I have a minitruck that I spend alot of time on untill recently. My son and I use to jam in it and just cruise around. Well second child comes around and I had to park the minitruck in exchange for a ford expedition. Gas guzzler!

I have several intrests, My Grand Cherokee is one I'm most protective of. All modifactions,mechanical,paint & body work except the green tweed interior work was performed by me. Audio is all JL-Audio and Focal w/Eclipse head unit. Just purchased a 190db/160PSI 5-trumpet AirHorn, should be fun when it's installed LOL.
I also love fishing,the beauty of Fl. is every day of the year is a fishing day! I pride myself in being a 100% lure user,never ever do I use live bait.
One of my favorite intrests/hobby is eBay. In one aspect it has turned into a job, I've recently started to run a friend of mines local hobby shop eBay strore. Luckily it's a plane and heli store so I don't spend all my earnings on merchandise !

I LOVE to race real cars also. No I'm not talking about drag racing I'm talking about circuit track racing. I just love the feeling when we go racing. Nothing like hearing the supercharger right behind my head and shifting gears. Most of you probably already know what we race because it is in me signature. Heres the car and a few details. It is a Lotus Exige S Club Racer. Has 220hp. That might not sound like alot compared to other sport cars but when it only weighs just under a ton it has the same power to weight ratio as a Dodge Viper. It will do a 0-60 time in 3.8 seconds. It is alot of fun to bolw by all the Porsches on the track!!!!! For more pics look at me album be going to me public profile.

I watched a show on Speed not to long ago with the guy that drives drifters (can't remember his name drives for Rock Star Tanner Faust I think) Anyways he does a show on exotics and they had him shooting through the hills in Cali. in one of those. He said was pretty impressive for what it was and that is handled a lot better than cars that cost a lot more. Where do you race yours at?

I have also seen that show. The Lotus shocks alot of people on and off the track. When on the track alot of people will come up to us saying how impressed they are. Alot of the Porsche and Corvette guys cant belive that a little 4-cylinder will fly right by them. The car is not ment for speed. It was ment to handle great and that is what it dose. The track we race at is called summit point west virginia.

This is a wide open question. I'm one who has too many hobbies with not enough time nor money. Two jobs and infant, just doesn't leave me much time at all.

Currently R/C's are getting the best of my free time which isn't much since my wife and I recently had a baby. I enjoy golfing as well, but unfortunately I don't get out much at all. Couple times a year at most. I used to be big into snowboarding but haven't done so in a few years. During the winter I'm usually ice fishing every weekend. I'm also into ATVing but due to the baby I just sold my Yamaha Grizzly 700 that was sitting way too much and I bought a Jeep Wrangler as a "fun" 3rd vehicle. It's got a nice mild lift and some extras. At least I can use my toy on a daily basis driving it too and from work. My wife and I enjoy hiking together with our Labrador Retreiver and we do that often during the warmer months. I also cycle during the week for excercise. I would mountain bike more but cycling is easier for me to get out and do instead of driving to a trail head with my mountain bike. When I get my wife to come along we usually do some easy bike paths.

Needless to say...there's plenty more I'd like to do if I had the time an money. But that's about it for now.

I'm with Goldmember on this one! I dream of retirement...only 36 years away.

My biggest hobby is outdoor stuff. Hunting, fishing, camping, backpacking, kayaking...unfortunately, not a lot of time to spend on it. Around home I love my RC's, airbrushing, graphic design, and I've recently started up a photography business as a side-job.

give me anything with an engine and im happy. i also like to make stuff in solidworks and then have parts machined out when i got the money to do so
