What else do you all do?

Subject: What else do you all do? Fri Apr 22, 2011 1:58 am

I know we all are into cars and stuff, but anyone have other hobbies and interest they enjoy? I'm just curious to hear what other crazy shot people are into on the site. For instance, I'm am really into old American battleships. I study them, build ship models, and collect old info about them. One of threat years I'm going to get to see one of them up close. Anyway, kind of a quirky hobby, but something I enjoy outside of cars.

Anyone else.

I shoot in competitive pistol leagues. I have for several years now. I like all guns but pistols are where the real fun and challenge is at in my opinion. I also restore and race vintage motorcycles. I'm currently working on a 77 KZ650 that will be done sometime this summer. Mikey, if you ever get a chance to go to Pearl Harbor you'll be in heaven.

I used to do a lot of hunting and fishing, but time constraints cut that back quite a bit. This summer will be my first fishing trip with my son, who is 3 years old. The wife doesn't care for fishing too much, so its good time alone with the kids. Smile

Belive it or not, with all the tech I surround myself with I'm somewhat of a survivalist. Unlike a lot of people these days, I can survive off the land without too much difficulty. I think my paranoid buddy Jim rubbed off on me a little on that one, as he believes something big is going to happen next year. I guess it never hurts to prepare for the worst.

And YES, I have a BOB for everyone in the house. Call me paranoid, or prepared. Either fits at this point Laughing

I'm a huge nerd and play computer games excessively.

With last summer being the 40th Anniversary of the Sterling Hall bombing, I've been doing a lot of research on Madison during that era. Collecting newspaper articles, photo's, etc. Not sure why, probably because it pisses me off even though it was way before my time. I've always had an interest in the Vietnam war too.

I also collect Dukes of Hazzard memoribilia.

I have tons of interests, but find myself spread too thin and rarely get anything accomplished. My main hobbies are;

High end home audio, 2 channel exclusively.
Cars, I even enjoy just repairing my wifes car etc..
Working on my house

I have tons an tons of "Interests"

Wood boats (I have one in my garage that I haven't touched yet)
Woodworking (Kinda picked this up out of necessity)
Motorcycles (I have that 1971 bmw that I posted about, which is almost done)
Custom car audio (Pretty burnt out on this)

I also really enjoy helping freinds out honestly. Usually limited to advice anymore, I don't have much time to get my hands dirty on someone else's projects.

I tend to find a new interest, hone in on it and over research it.. then get bored and move on. That is part of the issue with me being able to sit in front of a computer on the interwebz alot.. it overwhelms my senses a bit. This is something I kind of dislike about my personality, but I do my best to keep it under control!

In no particular order....

ATV's
Snowmobiles
PWC
Deer hunting (prefer bowhunting, but I gun hunt too)
Turkey hunting
Fishing
Some video games (I'm a closet Guitar Hero geek)
Target & trap shooting

I have too damn many irons in the fire, but enjoy them all, so I try to make as much time for each as possible. Between my job taking a huge loss these last 3 years & high gas prices, the motorsports hobbies have really been put on the back burner.

I have too many, some I'd really like to get back into a bit more though.

Serious ones...
Fresh water aquariums - Live plants are my thing, I also do fish and shrimp. I HAND BUILT our 110 gallon in the living room.
Weightlifting - I know my stature is a dead give away for this, but I really do lift consistently.
Car audio or anything audio actually. I'm just patiently waiting until we get a house so I can go to the next level with the HT Twisted Evil

Video games of course. Nintendo was my brother I never had growing up.
Snowboarding - I got back into it this year after a 10 year break. Not sure why I quit for so long.
Roller blading, biking, fishing....
Cooking. For some strange reason I like to whip some shit up.

So so ones....
I do some wood working here and there, nothing too fancy though.
Paintballing.... I was never too serious, but it was always a blast.

four wheeling, fishing, camping, mostly outdoor stuff, but i like to play video games too, outside of finishing school that is.

Ron Diaz and Bud Light

Im pretty into things that happen outside, hunting fishing mudding etc. I like to dance even though Im not great at it. But most of my free time gets spent tinkering with my/friends/familys cars. Ive become that guy they know who knows stuff. Which is good and bad I guess
