I've been in and out of several hobbies through the years. Anything outdoors appeals to me. Currently... 1. Dog training - work with my 2 yr old Vizsla 2. Ruffed Grouse/Woodcock hunting 3. Cycling - current passion are tadpole trikes. Garage full of a tandem, road bike and cyclocross bikes 4. Hiking 5. Camping 6. Headphones - small niche in the audio world 7. Music - basically listen to everything but country 8. Sporting Clays 9. Meeting online friends in person 10.Reading I need to retire so I have more time to do all the things I like to do. Sadly, that's still a few years off.
Predator & Big Game Hunting My hunting message board-The Texas Predator Posse: http://texaspredatorposse.ipbhost.com/ Shooting Scuba Diving Sailing Smoking good cigars Avid reader
Over the years, I've been through a considerable number of headphones (the usual suspects: grado, sennheiser, stax, etc.), and finally settled on the in-ear (IEM) variety after using them extensively on-stage. JH16 pros by JH audio. Only problem I have now is, because of their diminutive size, I'm constantly misplacing them….
-Soccer (FC Schalke 04),Basketball (Chicago Bulls) (watching,not self playing) -shaving -cinema -music (listening,not self playing) -reading -working out -Whiskey -Pipes
Though most of these I don't do near enough, I enjoy: Hunting - mainly pheasant and deer Dog training - I have a pointing lab who's the best dog I've ever hunted over. Shooting Sports - trapshooting, CMP, plinking, and hopefully soon, reloading Photography - sports, concerts, kids, outdoor portraits Camping Hiking Reading - for fiction authors like Vince Flynn and John Sandford. For non-fiction typically books about war or US history Music - everything. from classic rock to classical to jazz to qawwali to African to opera. Next weekend I'm going to see a Patsy Cline tribute band! Barbecue - offset smoker Woodworking Amateur radio - Amateur extra I used to brew beer big time. All grain, kegging system, and produced about 20 gallons a month, but having kids took me away from that. The oldest will be heading to college soon, with the rest to follow, then I'll get back into it. My claim to fame is that I taught my brother in law how to home brew and...long store short...he went on to be a master brewer at a few different brewpubs in Kansas City, Denver area, and Arizona, even collecting a silver medal for his cream stout at the Great American Beer Festival.
Here's what else I love doing in addition to wetshaving: 1) Golf 2) Martial arts 3) Cooking 4) Training harness racing horses
Jeff my dear Friend, Golf and Martial Arts? Not bad not bad. Respect!!! I would like to cook more often,but i don´t have enough time for that.
I checked out your hunting forum... it's really cool. I might just have to sign up and check it out for real.
I'm a certified diver, but I've never had any dives other than in surrounding lakes. I'd really like to go diving in Cuba or Saudi Arabia. Those waters are still largely unspoiled and unexplored.
I would like to visit Cuba too...not for diving but i like the "art of living". They live in not so good conditions but they do the best of it. That´s what´s impressed me most of it. They are happy the way they live. Or it seems so.
Depite I have less time on my hands now I have a kid, I've still hung on to those below, just not as intense as previously. 1. Building single speed bicycles. Either conversion of old bikes or assembling new ones from scratch. 2. Shaving gear. 3. Photography / Digital imaging. 4. HiFi. Love a good stereo system. not in those orders necessarily.
Wet shaving and collecting all of the associated paraphernalia is my most recent hobby. I enjoy hiking, cutting trails, and doing just about anything on our farm. Dirt bikes have been part of my life for 3 decades now. I don't ride or race as much as I used to, but there was a time when I was either riding or racing in a hare scramble almost every weekend. I still have a KTM 200 XCW and a Honda CRF250X (now a 280, thanks to an Athena big bore kit). I started playing ice hockey a few years ago, but I don't get on the ice much now. I enjoy collecting all kinds of firearms, and I still shoot and train on a regular basis. I also went deer hunting this year for the first time in about 20 years. I've been taking customers big game hunting for years on our farm, and decided to join them this year. I had about a dozen deer within 30 yards or less, but I didn't take any shots. I forgot how much fun it is to watch the woods wake up.
These horses are not ridden on horseback - they're driven in a sulky which looks sort of like a bicycle.
I'm not as involved with my hobbies as much as I'd like to be, but kids have that effect. Some of my hobbies include: Reading Archery R/C cars (stadium trucks, have a nitro and electric) most things tech I want to get into target shooting, hi-powered long range... some day
Yes, trotters are very popular in Germany, France, Sweden, and Norway. I trained a couple of French-bred horses.
Interesting, as I've mentioned in other post I aim to do things different, stuff people don't recognize these days. Using vintage early 1920's fountain pens and keeping one always in my suit pocket is one of them! It's always good for a inconspicuous smirk as well when someone asks you to borrow a pen and tries to pull the twist top then looks at it curiously while you unscrew it for them and then contemplates if you handed them a pen or a Archer secret agent pen with hypodermic needle containing a deadly sedative. Most my big hobbies have derived from past career base aspects like motocross. Not so sure they classify as a hobby yet since they were once something major so regressing from that we are left with. Whiskey Vintage razors Building Steampunk theme decor Engineering and coding home automation systems with Arduino and Beagle Bone devices Collecting classic video game consoles from childhood and the games Using unique knots for your tie and pushing edgy fashion lines mixing high formal class with cyberpunk & cybergoth fashion Playing Star Wars card game 'No one plays with me anymore' Whiskey Collecting and using for decor Star Wars memorabilia Collecting old school custom AutoCocker paint ball guns Enumerating all sorts of little Linux based things for around the house specially for Christmas decorations Oh and more Whiskey
