What are Your Hobbies?

[ChonkyTonks]

Very true haha. Don't water. Minimal repotting.
Neglect and sun light and you'll have a beautiful plant.

Neglect and sun light...sounds like my childhood in the 80's. heh

 

[Kobold]

Skateboarding, playing the guitar, illustration, hiking/camping, collecting vintage toys, comics, baseball cards, vinyl records, reading, painting, fishing

 

[tklee]

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.

 

[kcghost]

Bridge, baseball, pipes, cigars, anime, etc.

 

[Chasing Embers]

anime

Ever see Ergo Proxy?

 

[cigrmaster]

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.

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 Modern First Edition books, art books, LPs and CDs (mostly jazz, Punk and New Wave, but, not limited to those genres), original Japanese Jidaigeki (samurai) movie posters; I’m into high-end audio (both stereo and headphone systems), play table tennis regularly, enjoy craft beer, whisky, Vintage Port, and Madeira; I also love cigars, roasting my own coffee, building and shooting pistols (though it’s been ages since going to a range). Also into movies, collecting toys—I’m into all sorts of stuff, too much, probably.

Amazing. We have a lot in common!

I don't know if I would call it a hobby, but for the last 6 years I have wanted to aquire an Elio.

 

[Elric]

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.

 

[MacMarty89]

I don’t know whether or not I replied to this thread already. But aside from pipe smoking my other hobbies / interests are (in no particular order):

• Traditional wet shaving
• Philosophy
• Freemasonry
• HiFi audio / music
• Visiting musea
• Writing (in my diary)
• Politics
• Reading
• Japanese martial arts (Aikido / Iaido / Jodo / Kendo / Kyudo)

 

[Swiss Army Knife]

Watch Collecting and Watchmaking
Scale Modelmaking specifically 1:350 scale ships
Single player video games and modding
Cigars, although this one's waning

I want to get into SCUBA but we'll see if funds and free time allow it.

Cow tipping and snipe hunting?

Huh, that's for Quakers.

Most of the corn grown where I grew up in NE was for livestock but the 2 rows nearest the road were almost always phenomenal sweet corn that was free for the taking as long as you asked first.

If you learned how to can/jar starvation was a virtual impossibility. Other veggies easily/readily grew in the back yard garden.

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.

Amazing. We have a lot in common!

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.

You could probably take 100 random people and find the same results. A degrees of separation kind of study.

[kcghost]

No, I haven't.

 

[sablebrush52]

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

I enjoy watching SPC crash during product releases. Thankfully i get to do it multiple times a year.
