What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?

Awesome thread, good window into folks.  For me, now living in AK it's all about fly fishing for monster trout, epic hunts and backpacking.  Just upgraded powder snowmobile to one with 167 hp and weighs 415 pounds.  XC skate skiing.  Always been avid cyclist,  roadie in the old days owning a custom 753 CrMoly and first Dura Ace, built in UK, now mainly mtb both here and in AZ where we keep our truck camper for boondocking and riding my Ibis.  Competed and won at photography club in major US city.  37 years a geophysicist (lots of wave theory and digital processing). Always trying to improve my brisket. Homebrewer. Oh, and listening to music...winter is the listening season.  

I was married, should explain things! 

Nice to hear about everyone’s lovely bicycles- mine was recently stolen. I used it for getting around NYC and had it highly tricked out including a cirrus bodyfloat seat suspension. My new new hobby should be planting a decoy bike to catch the MF’ers.

And since there are Porsche fans and owners here, I’ll tell you about my odd choice of car. Since I live in the city and am lucky to be able to have a car at all, I needed something somewhat practical. I discovered the Targa 4S model (now a previous generation) that actually had a usable hatchback. It’s such a rarely purchased model it took me 6 months of extensive searching to find the right very low mileage one (11500 miles), and had to buy it without seeing it in person and shipped from Wisconsin to NY.

Having a hatchback, I’ve gotten a bike in the car with the wheel off, air conditioners, a 49”LCD tv in the box, and used it to haul equipment for smaller film shoots.

After a recent scrape up and and then having several panels repainted, I’m planning on wrapping the entire car in 3M paint protection film. Still trying to decide if I should learn to do it myself as it’s quite costly.

Incidentally, I found the car listed for sale on Craigslist.... but in Dubai! The second owner had it a few months but didn’t want to pay to register the car and was attempting to sell it outside the country. Took me months to get it registered.

And my most expensive “hobby” of all..... Filmaking. Makes audio look like a bargain.

Hobbies! I love hobbies. I’m into Hams, aged American and Spanish acorn fed hams
Vintage European sports Cars, I have 1970 911s, 1974 BMW 2002turbo, and a 1963 Abarth Monomille. Records, mostly African and gospel these days but could be anything you wouldn’t hear on the radio. Making pizza. Probably could go on but I’ll stop here.
