- Thread starter JohnnyRockets
- Start date
Skateboarding, playing the guitar, illustration, hiking/camping, collecting vintage toys, comics, baseball cards, vinyl records, reading, painting, fishing
Collecting Gundam models. Just that recently feel a bit lazy to assemble them. I still have four boxes haven't assembled.
Fun to read through these. With four kids at home, they get a fair share of my downtime, and I enjoy playing games and baseball with them.
I also enjoy playing guitar, carpentry, hiking/camping, reading and travel.

Bridge, baseball, pipes, cigars, anime, etc.
George if memory serves that type of stone would go for a paltry 150,000.00. I wish you luck in your search.I collect ten carat and larger vvs-grade white and blue-white diamonds that I find at garage sales priced for $5 or less.
No luck so far, though, so no pics.
I don't know if I would call it a hobby, but for the last 6 years I have wanted to aquire an Elio. 
I have a bunch of hobbies I rotate through depending on the weather. Jeeps, downhill skiing, video gaming, tabletop gaming, guitar (badly), technical nerdery, and others.

Scale Modelmaking specifically 1:350 scale ships

Cigars, although this one's waning

What part of NE? I was born and lived in Omaha (Chalco) for most of my youngin yrs and been in Grand Island Since the early 90's.
Over the years, I've found that people that are into certain pastimes often have other common interests/hobbies. I suspect there are a good many members here cut from similar cloth.Amazing. We have a lot in common!
You could probably take 100 random people and find the same results. A degrees of separation kind of study.

Hunting (deer, turkeys, upland birds, but I used to be a very avid duck hunter)

Reading
I really have cut back in recent years. Before pipes sort of subsumed me I collected signed 1st editions of favorite Sc-Fi and fantasy writers, like Ellison, Asimov, Farmer, Heinlein, Bradbury, Le Guin, etc, etc
I also collected some fairly rare Art and architecture books, like a 1st edition of The Metropolis Of Tomorrow by Hugh Ferriss, and Facing East, among other interesting items.
I also collected Arts and Crafts metalware and furniture.
Cooking was a hobby until I got too busy to put much time into it.
Walking, hiking, sneaking into forbidden areas, reading Mysteries, Histories, crap.
Before I was 11 I had read, in translation of course, Aristotle, Plato, Herodotus, Lao Tsu, Machiavelli, Vasari, all of Dostoyevsky, most of Pushkin, Gogol, some Sartre, etc, you know, light weight stuff. When I hit puberty I dumped all that crap and went for comic books and later, girls.
I did some inept writing, played the piano - occasionally for money, practiced photography and was a stringer for the Los Angeles Arts Council, etc. I guess some of this doesn't count since I did get paid for it.
I do art for a living, so it doesn't really qualify as a hobby.
Classic films, a fair amount of silent films. Everyone knows that sound is a fad.
Politics isn't a hobby, it's a blood sport. And almost entirely bullshit.
Otherwise, not much
