Thread: Serial Hobbyists

Mine are few.

Car repair
Computers (building, gaming)
Paintball
Guns
I enjoy reading about money, finance & retirement
Comic books (stopped collecting 20 years ago)


I live in a condo, so I don't really do any of this stuff anymore. Car repair I did for a living for 10 years and honestly if I have to do anything more than change a tire anymore my blood pressure goes up about 30 points. I'm not an avid collector of guns but I'm a damn good shot.

I suppose reading about finance, messing around with my shaving hobby and playing video games takes up any free time I have.

I suppose the $2k I've spent on shaving stuff will probably cost me $20k at retirement. Someday I'll stop collecting and put everything in a big box and hide it in the basement. I'll pull out the big box some day and show my children my $20k shaving collection with just 20 razors and two strops

My hobbies are;
Team roping, Black powder shooting (hunting) fly fishing, antiques, vintage cars, reading, archeology, history, antiques, gardening, particularly veggies ! home brewing, love restoring things, play around with my forge. These are just a few that come to mind at the moment. !!!
Most are current hobbies, a couple are on the back burner due to time and opportunity. I note some common themes amongst us.

Cheers

In no particular order:

Owning and shooting guns
Working on cars and motorcycles
Driving cars and riding motorcycles
Building anything I feel like
Visiting new places
Cooking (mainly dessert)
Knives (owning, using, and making)
Reading

Sadly, about all I'm getting to do lately is work on my vehicles because they're breaking down on me. I haven't been able to count working on them as a hobby in a while

With so many liking guns you might enjoy my gun blog. Lots of guns and reviews.

Gunner’s Journal

Another of my hobbies:-)

Other than razors, my main hobbies are martial arts (Genbukan Ninpo) and maintaining / moderating this site (which is a big time sink let me tell you).

I bet it takes a lot of time!

My list is short...

SR collection/use
Building Computers / Gaming (Call of Duty / WoW)
Travel (Big Italy trip planned for Sept)
Drinking (sounds ominous, but I consider myself a beer/liquor connoisseur)

Maybe some threads on individual hobbies is in order? Sounds like there is a ton of interest in a number of different things.

-Razors
-Martial Arts, and in a closely related field, MMA as a spectator and old hardcore fan
-Custom/semi custom and otherwise cool and useful flashligths (check out candlepowerforums sometime...go to the customs section, that's where the fun stuff happens...if you haven't bought a flashlight since maglights were "good"....watch your wallet. )
-Knives
-Rock Climbing (thought not for a while)
-Cigars
-Booze of all sorts, mainly scotch and brandy.

It varies, but on average I can probably say hours per day.

I forgot: My wife and I collect scotch malt whisky, and I like good cognac too.
