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?

Surfing! Growing up in Hawaii I started surfing when I was around 8-9. I've been surfing for over 30 years now and have no intention of ever stopping. My love for the sport is the main reason I live where I do. I've got 6 different boards and on any given weekend you can find me at the beach paddling out to catch a couple of round ones. I've also been known to skip work for a day or two if there is a really good swell. I also enjoy cooking and I do a lot of that too, so it's good that I surf otherwise I'd be as BIG as a Krell!
Gardening, model railroading, cooking, guitar (I hesitate to use the term for fear of being prosecuted for misrepresentation) playing and debating at the drop of a hat.
blading, hiking, skiing (snow and water), b&w and color photography, writing, live music (NEw Orleans), play guitar and keyboards, traveling, biking, collecting dinosaur fossils
Does that mean you never catch one?....

Although my fingers are getting beaten up by frequent automotive work (not to mention trying to cram 10AWG into dedicated outlets and junction boxes!) I treasure my time at my Steinway B.
