My hobbies include high altitude mountaineering, hunting, camping and riding atv's. I also read a lot, from comics, graphic novels, to books on evolution or Buddhism. I work in IT for a well known international company, so I enjoy relaxing hobbies that help me find my zen when not dealing with constant changing technologies and critical thinking. Recently I have picked up golf and I am completely hooked. Got my first birdie this week! I also play guitar, though not as much as I used to.
I'm currently writing my first fantasy. The fantasy genre, some of the characters and of course the writers such as Tolkien and Jordan helped inspire me to take up the pipe I also love writing and recording music, hard rock/metal mostly. I've a full cd finished. I'm not a record producer, but it still turned out pretty descent. My other hobby is staring at the Pipesmagazine forums for hours on end.
Boomerangs! I can't throw a football 70 yards, but I can make a little stick fly in a 70 yard ellipse. With the longest ones, you can stand at one goalpost and throw it around the other goalpost with a full return. I have an MTA (maximum time aloft), that is good for 30 second flights. The longest recorded flight was over 17 minutes. Sometimes they catch a thermal and just fly away.
English, nice to see someone else play ASL. I have spent many hours playing original Squad Leader with old buddy Tim. We started playing in 1979, and I have NEVER played the Allies - I'm the Germans. I love Shermans, because they're easy to kill, and hate the Russians, because my armor superiority goes away.
My hobbies include woodworking, photography, and fishing. Although this year I've yet to do any fishing as I'm busy working on my house. Camping, hiking, and hunting were big in my younger days.
Shooting, reading, camping, outdoor recreation. But these days with the little one I only get an occasional pipe as a distraction, the rest of the time is family time. Which is pretty cool.
