Besides woodworking, what else?

[jabe]

In my younger years it was hunting (rifle & archery), fishing, beer.
Now it's golf, beer, fishing, beer.

I would like to travel more and play golf at different places.

When is a hobby, not a hobby?

When you get harrased into doing things for others, when you try to do it to relax.
Used to like photography, haven't done it in years (see above).
Used to like cars, now if I set foot in the garage (to borrow one of my tools) I get put to work.
Computers (building and gaming/networking), but after all, can you do xyz for me...
Bicycling (just riding, not distance or anything fancy) now no time, and 100+ temp days, and no a/c at home.
Woodworking, I would like to get into that, I have the tools, but what I tend to do is "projects" and fix its. (and guess what people keep wanting me to start doing for them).
Women (no time, not a hobby but more of a full time job, and if you all knew some of my experience, you'd shudder and buy me body armor).

Next time a hobby isn't a hobby, I am selling it off.

After reading the other responses I am amazed at the diversity of the members.

As with most I have tried Hunting and Fly Fishing and camping especially when the kids were at home, Photography, fly tying, Model Railroading now its Golf and WW. Need more time for the woodworking probably won’t happen until I retire.

Besides Woodworking, My GrandDaughters are high priority, Mark Martin\Nascar, My other things have been put on hold. In My prior life, I was a PADI certified Scuba Diver, Had a couple of lessons on getting My Private Pilot license, was a workaholic, and now it seems like all I do is repair things. Bill

Boy, howdy...do I have expensive hobbies... Let's see, I played competitive golf in high school and college so I keep up with that, I am a current private pilot (boy, is it expensive to rent a cessna these days!), and I love photography. Not looking to take on any new hobbies. The wife would kill me!

1. In order of the amount of time spent doing each activity: riding motorcycle (every day), running (five times a week), playing guitar/piano/bass/drums/singing (at least one gig a week), reading (an hour or two here and there), model rockets (I'll mess with them about once a year.) I gave up golf, computer games and model airplanes when my son was born, as I no longer had the time.

2. I've always wanted to learn how to paint, ala Bob Ross.

Scorpio-Skydiving

Something I am convinced I'll never try: skydiving. There is a saying: if at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Call it a premonition, but I KNOW I'll go splat.

That's a good one for skydiving. I once asked a guy who had dove (diven?)severa times and mentioned that for me the death thing wasn't as bad as the two minutes or so of knowing you're gonna die, and making a choice of head first or feet first or whatever. He stated that they taught him in dive school that should the chute not open, "you had the rest of your life to think about what to do". He wasn't joking, but I though it was the funniest (and most truthful) thing ever.

Arcade games and recently pinball machines have drawn me away from the WW hobby. It's also why I rarely stop by... I've become a real regular on BYOAC forums. I am about to jump back into the WW fray as we just moved into a different house. Renovation is calling to me.

I would like to build motorcycles. Custom fab frames and the like. My wife has a huge fear of MCs though, so it will probably never happen.

1. Bass Fishing

2. Reading this forum

3. Did I mention Bass fishing?

[Mrs. Wallnut]

The answer to the first question is that I bowl weekly with my mother grandmother, great aunt and an aunt, and also a cousin. I love bowling and usually I don't have to take the kids with me when I go.

And the second question is a little harder for me to answer. I would actually love to learn how to quilt and making clothes.

1. www.rjablacksmith.com keeps me pretty busy.
2. More time for woodworking and woodturning.
