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.

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.

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!

Hunting, fishing, officiating high school football and wrestling, attending son's ice hockey games, gardening. I guess this is why my RR is still in the planning stage, although, there isn't an awful lot of planning going on.
