Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)


It would be interesting to know what other things interest the audiophiles who are obviously so passionate about hi fi and Audiogon. I am similarly obsessively interested in cars and motorcycles. What are your interests?

Living in the foothills of the rocky mountains lends itself to outdoor pursuits. Summer is hiking up mountain summits ,mountain biking and horseback riding. Winter its crosscountry skiing and downhill skiing and indoor riding. My children are 6 and 8 and I work full time and help my wife with her growing buisness so my free time is limited. Although there are many things I'd like to try Im happier doing a few things well than many things poorly. In my younger days I was totaly car crazy and was involved in a few amature racing teams . I bought a piano for my girls a few years ago and think next I will learn to play as well. Cheers Steve
Albert Porter. Nice site. Do you mind if I ask where that that organ is situated? I'm an organ fan and can just imagine the sound with the pipes nestled in behind you. Thanks in advance. steve
I envey you Alberta Steve living near the Rockies. I am on the east coast and there is a lot. White Mountains in NH, Berkshires in Ma, and the Andarondacks in NY. There is a lot of veriety but nothing very high. The highest is Mt Washington which is only 6200 feet high with a relativley low vertical rise. To make up for it MT Washington has some of the worst weather in the world and we dont have switchbacks. Our trails go straight up the mountain. I would trade it all to climb a mountain over ten thousand feet.
"Great paintings Eldragon! I like "your" girls, especially the "playful" one. And who is that "suicide" kid?
I play quite alot of golf and wish I had time to play more. I gave up my membership at a local club because the conditions of the greens and my handicap has suffered a bit. I used to ride motorcycles, my last a 1995 CBR 900RR. I gave that up with the birth of my first child a year ago. I am in the process of buying a 10 year old porsche 928 S4 to play with. That should be fun.
