Hmm, let's see...

1. SCUBA diving - I'm heading to Cozumel for a week in February; Jaques Cousteau called it one of the best dive spots in the world.
2. Skydiving - just started a few months ago, absolutely awesome!
3. Hiking - I've really not been hiking much lately, sadly, but it'll always be on my list.
4. Computer programming - granted, it's a part-time job and I'm studying to be a software engineer, but it's a hobby, too!
5. Fountain pens - I have a tiny little collection, with more ink colors than pens. They got put on the backburner when I got into razors.
6. And, naturally, razors.

I think that's about it. A few years ago I was traveling in Germany right after graduating high school and the first thing a kindly man asked me when we met was "What are your hobbies?" and to my embarrassment I couldn't come up with a single one! I think I'm in somewhat better shape now.

I've got a 1852 8N that you can practice your painting skills on.

1852? I thought they used horses then?

(You mean 1952, Ford 8N, right?)

Those old Ford's are great. I used a 1940 Ford (no idea what model) for quite some time.
