Jamming with my buds. No time anymore for "serious" bands anymore but woodshedding with the guys is still a kick.

Photography. I make a few bucks doing special projects for people and that keeps me in film for the fun photo stuff I like doing like manipulating Polaroid image transfers. I gave up having a darkroom until I can build a permanant one.

Golf anytime it's not snowing. Just got a new set of Pings a couple of months ago.

Bikes- both kinds though I haven't owned a motorcycle in years. One day maybe I'll have a few extra bucks and will be able to get that new Guzzi.

Cooking. Baking mostly now that I live alone because I can take most of it to work and give it away.

Women that despise me. I don't know why I find them so attractive.

I'm thinking of getting some steel wool and knitting myself a Greyhound AC!

There is a lesson to be learned here people.

Don't do drugs, or smoke anything for that matter, don't drink unless it is offered to you free from a buddy, avoid owning a car (and a license and insurance and gas costs and repairs), and get married so you don't spend a fortune on dating.......

...... and you can own hundreds of models

Contrary to popular belief, cars are not always vital, and well yes wives have a tendency to produce children, that can become interesting

Live in Belgium.
Taxes are so high your boss will eventually pay the car for you. so he spends 100 and you get 90. if not he spends 144 and you get 48.

Anyway as it goes about hobbies

1. kids
2. books (no space eaters)
3. gardening.

these are the 'politically correct hobbies'
egoistic hobbies would be
comics (you can't avoid it and live in Belgium); chocolate (same), model buiding but stopped when i was 18; dungeons and dragons but stopped before end of studies, squash (but stopped for lack of time).

you know what ? this is depressing, man. i realize i don't have hobbies anymore. i jut try to survice and spend some time at home with wife and kids.

as i don't fell like i have enough time for it, the rest goes into the basket.

Gentlemen,

My last kit being finished, here's a pic of that "famous" Belgian Fokker E V...

other hobbies now let me think mmmmmmmmm yes i train small children in karate i am a black belt 1st Dan in Shotakan trained 8 years twice a night 6 night's a week to become an instructor and so far it has paid off

In the past it was radio controled aircfraft, mostly scale WW2 fighters, I'd like now to get into R/C quarter scale cars, But they just built a new go-cart race track near my house and now my 7 year year old granddaughter wants to go go-cart racing. she has me wrapped, so I'm helpless to refuse.

Fishing (I live in Miami) both salt and fresh

Computers

Encoding Anime

Reading, history or fiction
Cooking, doing most of it for the family now
used to be hunting but the days of just asking permission and getting to hunt are gone as the local farmers are all leasing their places now to help make more income and I can't kill enough to feed the kids compared to the amount of groceries I can purchase for the cost of a lease.

Fly Fishing...preferably dry fly...favorite spots Silver Creek, Idaho, Green River, Utah..Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Colorado...<starts to drool>

Also water colors.
