What other obsessions do you have?

Back country jaunts in the LR with my wife and two Goldens; acquiring and sampling single malts (Irish as well as Scotch); rowing my shell, and attending live music performances...and work...

Building or creating ANYTHING.

I finally got a decent woodshop going, I love working with wood. Carpenty, Carving, Chipping etc I will probably never buy another piece of furniture again, i would much rather built it myself. It might not have a name on it that makes it worth 3k, but i know the build quality is sound, It will be one-of-a-kind, and it will hold my distinctive style.

Art as well.
Im quit an artist if i may say so myself. I dont paint, i draw. Also enjoy metal sculpting, wood carving, casting, whatever.

I work in a cubicle. My job is an endless analysis and diagnosis of theory, numbers, testing, and remote access. At the end of the day, there is no finished product, nothing to see progress on.
That is why i love building/creating stuff, it keeps that need in me fulfilled.

If i diddnt have to worry about money, that would be my full-time hobby. As much as i love audio gear and music, there is nothing quite like finally finishing a project. I put everything i am into my creations, and each one is unique.

Had about a 4 year pause on this hobby. THen recently i had the option of upgrading my gear or buying tools for a workshop. My rig has not changed. :)
Yet.

Wife, Motorcycles, Photography, Film, Dogs and Sex. Not necessarily in that order. I never mix Sex with the canine obsession, though have combined it with the others with some degree of success at times. It goes real well with my wife, but I wouldn't recommend it to any of you less'en you be liken' me to open up a big ol' industrial-sized can-O'-WhoopAss all over your sorry self.

DannyLW,

Once I got my Seven (Alaris with Chorus/FSA carbon cranks/Eurus wheels) My custom Serrotta Csi became one more thing to dust!!! I haven't riden it since the Seven arrived. BTW Seven got me the bike 14 days after I was measured for it!!! Thanks guys!!!

Other interests..

Single cask scotch, wine, cars, Cuban cigars....usually with scotch, traveling, pets (we have a Great Dane, Golden Retreiver and three cats), photography (both digital and 35mm) to name a few.

Rediculously fast street cars.
I'm building a car around a 521ci engine which happens to be a 1965 Mustang. Building a reliable 700hp+ engine with no nitrous oxide, turbos, or supercharger is a challenge, but building a car to accept and withstand it is nuts. It seems like every single part has to be hand fabricated. Front suspension, rear suspension, chassis, headers, exhaust system, rear axle, rack and pinion, brakes, electrical system, fuel system, and on and on.

I really have no business being into such an expensive hobby. Audio can be very expensive, too, but the car is where I sink more cash.
