-Huge aircraft flying (it's also my job!)
-Light aircraft flying
-Music: about 1100 CD's at home, + playing my Telecaster (with my very small level!) + listening rock, jazz and blues players everywhere they show.
-Ski
-Karting
-Diving
-And playing with Flight Simulator and Train Simulator on my computer.
All this leaves me a very good time with wife and children!

My other hobbies get me out of the train room. i enjoy fishing and camping. We go camping at least
once every two months and I go fishing when I can. But It's been awhile since my boat has been
in the water. Dave

Music collecting, music performing (I sing and play drums for a band that I also manage), target shooting, science fiction books, comics. I was once very into roleplaying games, still have all the stuff but don't play. I was very into leatherwork for a while (sold it at nightclubs and online) and used to build computers for fun and to sell back when you could make money doing that. I also book shows for experimental music bands and DJ at nightclubs, which I suppose would be considered hobbies because I don't make any money doing it...

I put NO, but meaning nowhere, anywhere near my interest in model railroading. I've been "playing with trains" <cringe> for almost fifty years now. It consumes me to the point where I have decided to put most of my time, energy, and resources into it. I tell people, "Trains are my LIFE". I am finally in a position now where I am retired due to disbility and spend my entire day doing something train or model railroad related, even if it's spending too much time on these lists and forums! No big deal since it's all train related. At some point I'll get the room prep stuff in the basement hired out, get the local posse to help me on the layout, and then I won't be such an arm..., uh, mouse click modeler anymore. It's all train to me...and I LOVE it.

My other hobbies include video games and collecting baseball cards. It's hard to say which is my favorite hobby. I don't collect nearly as many baseball cards as I used to, though, so it's either video games or model railroading.
huh?

Hobbyists are those folks who have more interesting things to do than constantly watch TV once the chores are done simply because there is nothing else to do. Generally if they have a main hobby, they have other hobbies too.
Used to be into ham radio, now amateur astronomy, woodwork, guitar and fiddle. Life is great!

kind of a hobby to me Bowling. i started 2 years ago so this is my 3rd year. i have like a 157 average but i'm a lot better than what my average says. part of the reason its so low is i have a entraped nerve in my forearm that i need some test done on it. but its feeling better now so i'm not worrying about it. my average should be like 170-180.
also i play baseball for my high school. thats what i pretty much live for in the summer. there isn't anything i'm more interested in than baseball.
hobbies include probably a little guitar. i try to play not often though. music. have a huge CD collection and i'm always listening to the radio or CDs even driving to school, 2 blocks. play PS2 is a hobby i guess. i'm a teenager what kid doesn't do that. mainly sports games and racing. i can't stand that fake stuff like the animated cartoon stuff. doesn't fly with me. i enjoy fantasy sports like football, baseball, and basketball. also enjoy reading about sports and hopefully going to start writing about games on TV and what not.
just a few things.
