What are your other hobbies after Trains?

[betsy662]

Hobbies other than trains? Surely you jest!

Okay, model cars, real cars, especially Model T and Model A Fords, watching good looking females of our spiecies, (don't tell my wife), and making money any way I can............[;)][;)][;)]

[mersenne6]

As the man said - trains aren't a hobby -they are a way of life - my hobby is higher mathematics. [:)]

Hiking year round, snow shoeing, XC skiing, computer games mostly military, Mt. biking, kayaking freshwater and saltwater, camping (this summers road trip is to Colorado with our new trailer) and the one hobby that really takes up a lot of my free time more then my wife likes to see Coaching Soccer.

Metro The Gunners are also my top Premiership team, but I seldom get to watch them.

Well, like a few others here, I am also into Cowboy Action Shooting. For those who are curious, my alias is Justin D. Nickotyme.

I also like woodworking, though I don't do as much as I'd like to. I guess I'll get my share when I build the layout framework. I also built my own guncart for my aforementioned other hobby.

I enjoy target shooting (other than CAS), too. I am into reloading my own ammunition and pretty much anything else having to do with guns.

I also like most outdoor activities like camping, hiking, bicycling, skiing (downhill, at least), white water rafting, four wheeling, motorcycle (dirt) riding, fishing, horseback riding and so on. I don't get involved in most of these hobbies on a regular basis, but I do enjoy all of them from time to time.

I also like to travel and visit places I've never been before, as well as going back to those places I have been and liked a lot.

On top of all that, I am also very involved in my church and several related activities.

With all that I like to do and am involved in, I don't know how I manage to find the time to go to work full time!!!

Other hobbies include: railfanning, reading about the Old West and Civil War, shooting pool, plinking, sporting clays, playing with my granddaughter (she turns 1 in April).

'Hey jcopilot"...

My alias is Reb Williams. My main outfit is that of a union cavalry sergeant of the indian wars of the mid to late 1870s. Like I was telling SpaceMouse. I'm not all that great of a shot, but I really enjoy it.
Glad to know I'm not the only CAS on the block...

What is your alias? I'm Tony Tinhorn.

"Hey SpaceMouse"...

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I just got your message this afternoon. Reb Williams is my CAS handle. My main outfit is that of a union cavalry sergeant from the indian wars of the mid to late 1870s, though I have about seven or eight other outfits. I really enjoy it-not that I'm all that great of a shot, but it's good clean fun.

Golfing three seasons a year. My "training" is basically a winter thing. Trying to keep in reasonable shape (walking, biking, etc.). Following sports, especially college FB and BB, and the NFL; also baseball playoffs. Getting together with friends and family. Traveling (Nova Scotia in June!). Reading novels. TV. Puttering around the house.

[Anonymous]

Vintage mechanical hard-use wristwatches, canoeing, a little bit of bullseye and IPSC pistol shooting, and black & white street and portrait photography. I've been into trains longer that any of these, since I was about 5, but these other distractions have also remained constants since I began them.

My canoe is made of wood, my camera is an old-school mechanical, my IPSC rig is 100% leather, and my youngest pistol was manufactured around 1985. I try to stay at least twenty years behind the times.

Hmm, other hobbies?

Problem for me is what differentiates a hobby from a chore - I seem to spend a lot of time fixing PCs for family (and upgrading them when they realise it can't do what they want it to without some work!). Guess that's more of a chore now. I'd have to say photography and DIY.

P.S. That's a superb photo of the wasps jacon12. Must have a go at some macro photos before long, have tried them in the past but the insect always takes off just as you get ready to pu***he shutter!
