Thread: What Other Hobbies Do You Guys Have?

Well, I'm a little differant than most lol. I don't drink due to being a diabetic. Still not married, nor do I have any kids. I do enjoy a good pipe every now and then, but have had to cut back due to some post-op breathing problems after a bicycle accident.

Pre-accident I also enjoyed camping, which I would love to do again. Rolling around on the ground looking something like a fat walrus trying to put tent stakes in just doesn't cut it.

I am a ham radio operator, holding a general class license, KD5AFE, and have just gotten involved in Genealogy. I also dabble in webpage design, mainly my own page, but will help friends out in a pinch. I collect walking canes(have to use them, so why not collect)smoking pipes, and shaving gear of all types.
One of my newest endeavers is learning to play the guitar (Fender accoustic DGA-1, entry level guitar,but decent to learn on lol).

I enjoy baking (Italian bread, Montreal Bagels, etc.), tending my vegitable garden, making wine, doing stained glass, computer programming, and spending time with my 3 month old daughter... that's the best hobby there is!!!

Kewl! Which one are you?

- Engineering new products for the sports supplement industry.

- Weightlifting.

- Art (pencil drawing)

- Writing.

- Reading; probably the main thing I do whenever I have some time to spare.

Rebuilding pre-1960 Ford trucks and Triumph pre unit bikes. Playing the guitar, building guitars (I am currently trying to replicate a 1931 steel bodied National Triolian Resonator), playing the drums, distance running, cycling, spending time with my wife, reading, working in the yard, having a vegetable garden, getting ready for the arrival of our son. Drinking beer and listening to either metal or blues. That's a good cross section.

I was into other blades before straight razors, so I'm a knife collector. Going off of the blade obsession, I've recently started wood-carving and enjoy that very much. I also read, write, and listen to music a lot. I really enjoy cooking as well, but that's less of a hobby.
