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?

Raising my two sons
Furniture making for the past 25 years. Aside from being able to make one of a kind pieces for myself and relatives; I was able to do barter with several audio designers in New Jersey when I lived there. I built thier prototype speakers cabinets in return for gear...worked out well as I was able to trade my labor for gear I would not have been able to aford.
Also, beer making...got to have something to drink while your listening to your favorite tunes...Begian Ale for classical; German Wheat Beer for Pop; German Lager (well hopped) for Rock.
For the past few months, I do nothing but study Audio stuff online. Before this nutty endeavor, I was an aspiring wannabe writer, philosophyer, roadbiker, and avid reader.
