other hobbies poll

I am in the midst of a very slow restoration of a 1954 Austin Healey. The model RR bug has bitten hard and has dominated my free time, so it is not really a current hobby, but it will return.

I had too many hobbies going....not enough time nor money. I had to pare them all down to one..... model railroading.

I race 1/24th and 1/32nd NASCAR slot cars when ever I feel the need for speed.[:D]

I like to fish and camp, but I have to admit my bass boat hasn't been in the water since I started MRR'ing a year ago. Hopefully I will be far enough along on my layout next spring that I won't feel guilty to do a little fishing. The CEO [4:-)] has already laid the law down about camping, " We will go camping in the spring or I will [B)] your [censored] !!"

Yes, Dear!! [:I]

Model railroading, home theater, and kiting.

My favorite quote from my wife is "Why can't you ever have a hobby that fits in a drawer?" [(-D]

Used to cross-country ski a lot, until my knee went out about five years ago. My two other passions (hobbies?) besides model railroading are collecting classic films from the '30's, '40's and '50's--with a few silents mixed in--and right now a lot of research into why the ancient Romans never managed to conquer 1st-century Germany (well, DUH!--otherwise we'd all be speaking Italian now, right?). It's a strange little hobby, but it's also kind of eye-opening. I mean, if I were a 5'7" Roman soldier, I sure as HELL wouldn't want to meet a big, blond 6'2" ax-weilding Barbarian in a dark German forest.

Trains are a significant part of my attention span, but I do like golf, when I have time, photography, B&W, and digital, plus reading short stories, and writing stuff. None of my "work" is all that good, but I still enjoy writing it.

Thank you!

Well of course. I love to read and collect books. I deer and turkey hunt. I play a little golf (really badly). And I dabble in stamp collecting and two or three other things.

I love to travel as much as I love trains....My wife thinks i'm into "gardening" but that's her hobby!..I'm just there to pull the weeds, run the tiller, ect...not my idea of fun!...I can get the veggies at a supermarket at a lot less cost and a lot less labor than that stupid garden can produce!...Chuck[:D]

My other hobbies include photography (of architecture, flowers and, um, trains), reading (Izaac Asimov is my current favorite), travelling (on or off trains) and music (as an avid listener and as a performer....I play synthesizers with the worship band at my church).

I like getting together with my friends at church...i don't know if that is a hobby, but I spend alot of time at my church, especially in the summer. I play guitar and am learning to play the piano. I am a fencer and a few of my friends are trying to teach me how to play basketball. I like getting with other Homeschoolers and fighting with wooden weapons ( my team always loses )

I'm into mostly outdoor sports, hunting and that kind of stuff, I also keep track of motorsports, and like to go to classic car shows. I also have a fairly large model car collection, but since I've been in mrr'ing I gave that up. The biggest reason I don't get into a lot of other hobbies is that I don't even really have the money to build a layout in a halfway-decent amount of time, not to mention my parents aren't all that interested in things like RC airplanes or model boats and the like, and I certainly don't have the money to go into those as well...[sigh]

I would have gotten into fishing as well, but again neither the time nor convienence...

[sparkingbolt]

Model Cars-n-trucks, some heavy equipment in 1/24 and 1/25 scale, and working on real cars (thus "sparkingbolt".= Sparkplug in the early days of the automobile in England) Also enjoy welding and metal work, not artsy stuff but building trailers and such, repairing anything broken. Dan
