Hobbies

Well, I would not call "dieting" or "lifestyle changes" necessarily hobbies, but outside of these issues we all share, what else are you interested in?

I like to do some genealogical digging.

I have become more interested in history since my son has been getting older.

As a family, we have enjoyed going out and exploring our home state. You never know when you may have to relocate and wonder "I wish I had done that while I lived there".

I also like to scrapbook. I am a bit behind but I still have my things organized and ready to pick up where I left off.

Gotta ask !!! Do your hobbies actually include hunting and/or shooting ???

Hobbies? I vaguely remember something like that before I got this job...

I used to do some photography, Civil War reenacting and Cowboy shooting. And of course other shooting, hand loading and hunting!

Wow! I have not had time to do anything in 20 years even remotely close to a hobby.

Had these for years...
Hunting
Photography
Reloading
Shooting, (obviously)
Knifemaking
Leatherwork
Scrollsawing...comes in handy for making gun stuff.
Model aircraft. Crash, the lawn dart maker, they calls me!
A bit of genealogy
Birding
Classical music
Reading
Spending time on this forum. Is that a hobby , or what?

And Happy New Year! I hope everyone's year is as good or better than my last one!

Glad I'm retired...it was hard to keep my job from interfering with what I really wanted to do. Very Happy

OK, but you'll be sorry.....
guns - reloading shooting, making them, hunting and plinking
Metal - turning, fabrication, welding, black-smithing, if it can be made of metal I can do it!
Wood - sawdust, I am really good at that, sculpture, simple furniture and cabinets
Fabric - packs, seat covers, pattern making and design.
Art - poetry, painting, prose, stone work, articles and working on my first book to be published.
Outdooors - fishing, back-packing, cross-country hikes
Leather work - holsters, sheaths, book binding and much more.
Cooking - daily meals and some "fancy" cooking - crepes that melt in your mouth to chili that melts your mouth.
Cars - everything as long as it doesn't have a computer in it. Made a 350 hp 289 without aftermarket parts - build performance C4 automatics for the local crowd.
Engineering - from designing a home to designing car stands to tools and even working on an ultralight airplane and an electric car.
Computers - Hobby programs for aircraft design to exterior ballistics and engine and exhaust evaluation.
I can cut hair - mens or womens and do a good job of it.
I enjoy the plumbing and remodeling on the homestead, wiring and even roofing.
NO gardening, raising of animals or milking of cows or goats!

You mean we are supposed to have hobbies outside of Guns and hunting? Shocked

how are we supposed to find the time for anything else??? one of the best bumper stickers here in nz goes "fishing is not a matter of life and death" its considerably more imprtant than that.... if I am not working or fishing for trout with my wife and kids Im away hunting I guess tying fishing flies and reloading. tanning skins and working with the dogs could be called hobbies.
