About half listed, in one way and to one degree or another. Birdwatching (not listed) is actually a male activity

by maybe three to one, which you might not expect. A lot of visual art by men who aren't pros, and other

sorts of crafts. When I was in high school, my dad was concerned I had too many hobbies and wasn't focussing

enough. I did writing, photography, shortwave radio, and some art, and have inadvertently (that is I wasn't

planning to prove pappy wrong, it just happened that...) I used every one of those hobbies in earning a living

at one time or another. I was a radioman in the Navy for part of my hitch, then a journalist, where I used my

photography, and so on, into civilian life.

I got 28, but I think I'll call it 30 if I can swap beer brewing for distilled spirits and guitar for banjo. Sad to say I only do about a dozen or so now. This list just makes me think how awesome it would be to try fencing. Definitely money that kept me away from some of these.
EDIT: Just a note on my response. In most states making your own whiskey is against the law; I do not encourage anyone to do so and I no longer do as well, but in Missouri you are allowed to produce up to designated amounts (Based on residents 21 and over) for personal use.

I tend to focus intensely on one obsession (hobby) at a time, but I do rotate them. Music composing is my primary past time, scale model building is another. Pipe collecting in earnest is a recent activity.
Here's one third of my models. I have just as many still in the box sitting on shelves in my shop. I'm primarily focused on WWII aircraft.

27 for me, counting pipes/alcohol/cigar as one.
Nice to see another 1/72 WWII guy on here, but I do vehicles, boats and guns too. Got about 150 still unbuilt. Can't paint worth a damn though :(

I hit 24, but "Formulating Fireworks/Explosives", "Crashing Cars", "Recreational Drugs" and "Women" were not listed.

That would make it 28.

I'm sure my wife regrets taking ball room dancing lessons with me. I was not exactly the Fred Astaire type. She has the scars to prove it.

17, but some of them are very vague. Some of my other interests didn't show up.

I only hit 5, most if my things aren't listed. I do like the guys shooting arrows AND drinking beer.
