-Anything involving horses and outdoors: mountain riding, training horses, cowboy challenge competitions, spending weeks in the backcountry with nothing but what I hauled in on the horses.

- Hunting, playing guitar, photography, writing, currently restoring an old barn.

Computer-everything, Gaming, Classic Heavy Metal, Reading, Writing, Swimming, Sunbathing, Movies and TV. I have progressing arthritis from a car crash in '79 including broken back and spine, so I can't do all the cool outdoors things I used to love.

Love seeing everyone's posts in this thread!
For me, it's reading, movies and TV, music, and writing/recording songs in my home studio. (Two CDs available, so far, on iTunes, Amazon, and CDBaby.)

As requested here are the 'barn restoration' pics. I've just bought the property. The barn is getting re-roofed, but the structure is in great shape. The ground floor will be typical barn: stalls, tack room, utility room, but the top will be a 2 story living area, with the west side having lots of glass. I'm contracting out the roofing, but will do all the interior myself. Included a picture of the view I'll have from the top part of the barn, sitting on my balcony with a good pipe watching the sun go down!

Ok...rmbittner, can you provide us with info on how to get or listen to your CD's?
Hunter, that is one of the most awesome barns ever, would be killer to have living quarters in the top.

music - my first love, I like it all and play almost all: classical, jazz, hip hop, singer songwriter/folk, reggae, ska, salsa, metal, etc. etc., I'm a trumpet and bass player (see below)

composing music - something i hope to do more of once i finish school for the second time

writing fiction - i wrote a novel for national novel writing month last year and I'm pretty proud of it. it comedic, but I'd like to write a sprawling epic like LOTR/The Dark Tower/His Dark Materials for my next attempt.

making art miscellaneously - I have lots of artists friends and sometimes I get the bug to do it myself. mostly painting and papier mache

learning Spanish and German - my wife is fluent/near fluent in the latter

more video games than I'd like to admit
it should be noted that all of these are on hold while I work towards a master's ...

Oh blimey. At the moment I'm more into my baritone which is a forward facing Degg (a discontinued marching instrument) with a mouthpiece that I've had for 25 years. It has no markings but I "borrowed" it from music class when I was at school and never returned it! It's slightly smaller than standard bar/euphonium mouthpieces which makes higher notes easier.
My personal instrument, finance nearly paid lol is a Bach New York extra large bore cos I'm a noisy bugger! I have a bob reeves cj2 mouthpiece for nice soft jazz ballads and a schilke 6a4z for when I'm dreaming that I can play like Maynard ferguson!

I really want a new trumpet ... saving up. I play a Bach Stradivarius Model 37, but my mouthpiece is exciting: Asymmetric Lead 342. It has really increased my range w/o significant sacrifice to endurance.
