Among others...photography, writing, reading, shotgunning, railfanning, and home repair.

When you have a house as old as mine, the last is more lifestyle than hobby!

Drinking beer, dirty jokes, and watching TV. At least I'm honest! Some of the answer so far sound like Martha Stewart perfect mate things. Wussies.

Beer guzzling is way up there. Also astronomy, woodworking, fiddle / guitar tune butchering. Used to like ham radio b4 there were more users than spectrum.

Gardening, cooking when I have the time, drinking good beer and watching hockey. Don't know if watching hockey is a hobby, but it should be.

I used to do a lot of mountain biking until we bought an 85 year old house. Now its working around a very different "ball and chain"...one that has a roof. I'm a "This Old House" junkie now. I also love hitting local antique auctions, after all why pay an antique dealer for something I can get at the same place he does for what he pays. It also beats buying retail. I also have a '71 Honda 600 minicar that I'm supposed to be restoring, its making very pretty rust stain patterns on the driveway. Oh Well.

   Have fun with your trains
