what other hobbies do you have?

I'm with Luckach4. I love to fish for musky (my best this year so far is 47") but also fish for perch and walleye depending on the season.
 
I AM A BEACH BUM!!!!!!!!
With all the years of building and racing bikes the only other thing that made me calm was sitting on the beach and getting my tan on. I live 5 mins from the beach. STRANGE but riding a bike at the track doing close to 200mph made me calm and put me in a mellow mood and so does the beach. I AM JUST OLD AND WIERD!!!!

REALLY LIKE THE GUNS GOOD THING YOU LIVE WHERE YOU DO.
Last time i had guns in my home i had 50 guys with masks and big guns coming threw my door and now for the past 30 years i can't own one in NY NJ PA DEL. They killed all the fun in having nice stuff MAC 10's 44's shot guns AK and i had a nice collection of guns from the 1800's all gone in one stop.
DON'T STOP AT GO AND COLLECT YOUR $200.00 DOLLARS GO RIGHT TO JAIL!!!!!
You are really lucky to live somewhere that doesn't think you are a sniper with those guns. It can only happen in america HAHA!!!

You're pretty close. The tan gun that looks like a Remington 700 is probably the coolest. Its a 22lr Remington 40X marked USMC sniper trainer for the M40 Vietnam era sniper rifle. Put in a McMillan A5 with a nightforce scope and a AAC silencer. It kills golf balls at 200 yards.

The short answers are:
1. DTA SRS 308 and 338 Lapua switch barrel threaded for AAC silencer, Nightforce 5.5-22
2. Remington 40X 22lr USMC marked M40 Trainer AAC silencer Nightfoce 5.5-22
3. Build by me 223 AR White Oaks Match Barrel Spikes Tactical upper and lower geissele match trigger Nighforce 3-15
4. Built by me .223 PRI/RRA upper, RRA lower, match trigger
5. GAP .308 Templar, Bartlein 1:10, Badger M4, Nightforce 5.5-22
6. My old Armalite AR-30

Not pictured: XD45 w/ Silencerco Osprey 45..... Form 4 still processing on the can
RW Snyder built AR-10 SI defense upper and lower Bartlein Barrel 1:10 threaded for AAC Cyclone, Geissele adj match trigger, magpul PRI, Nightforce 5.5-22x (my newest stick).
 
pretty impressive collection of smoke poles, up here big brother knows best and we could never own anything like that bunch. even though i spent 3 years in the infantry i'm not able to own anything even resembling those, it sucks living up here in the land of the no free will. the government is out to save us from ourselves i guess.
 
I've been into rock crawling for the past 8 or so years. Selling my buggy and now I'm building a bike.

Really long with awful music (I didn't make this video).
 
I have had a lifelong hobby of restoring British sports cars, the hobby has always been there only the victims, er, subjects have changed. The latest victim (and I think this one's a lifelong 'keeper') is a 1974 Jensen Healey JH5. http://jensenhealey.com/

I raced R/C cars then dirt bikes for ages then branched off into car road racing, autocross and hillclimbs.

When I got divorced, I got full custody of my daughter who is now 14. So she's been my 'hobby' for the last couple of years: keeping her pointed in something resembling the right direction. Straight A student, maybe something is working correctly or more likely it's just dumb luck on my part combined with hard work on hers.

I think I've been racing 3 times? in two years. Still have the race car and keep it ready for the rare times that the stars align correctly. It's also a Jensen Healey but with a Mazda rotary under the snoot. [/I]

I sold my house in another city and am looking for something as a 'fixer upper' in the new town so I guess that'll be yet another 'hobby'.

Phill, I'm glad I don't live near rocks or that's what I'd be doing!

I have been a freak for anything miniature since I can remember. In 2000 my son and I started a miniatures business for tabletop gaming. We called it Z N Games. We had some sucess with it. Then my son was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. He was treated but passed in August 2002. The business kinda died but recently a friend of his and I are trying to revive it. The first pic , if it worked is our biggest seller. The Ulfhedner , a huge werewolf guy, that is used by alot of gamers for a game called "Bloodbowl". A kinda fantasy football game.It was painted by Dave Taylor of Baltimore. The second pic is a mini sculpted by Tim Prow for Reaper miniatures in Texas. This mini was in honor of my son and his contributions to the gaming industry. "Bledsoe Evil Cleric" is the name of the mini.
The third pic is a diorama that I painted of mniies designed by my son for a game that he wrote for Fasa , while he worked at Ral Partha Miniatures in Cinncinnatti. Hope you enjoy the pics. Any gamers out there? Thanks for lookin , Kev.
