Hobbies:
Watching things:
People (Pyschology is an interest of mine.)
Specific Female people (who will remain unspecified here ;-))

Sitting in the warm reassuring glow of either a LCD or CRT knowing that whatever goes wrong I probably did! (Or I can fix it, but don't let that get out.)

Mechanical and electronic things. (Did you know if you put a drop of oil on the bearings of a Bachmann HO standard series diesel it'll get a lot quieter?)

Obsolete Computers... Uncreative Labs (http://www.uncreativelabs.net)

Btw, referring back to page 2:
High Schoolers love to destroy more than build and Lazyness is more common than fear.

[espeefoamer]

How cultured am I? I will only listen to opera music if it is spelled "o-p-r-y" and preceded by the words "Grand Ole''[:D]!

Horse Racing!

I don't gamble on it like I used to, now I just head down to the racetrack (Hastings Park) and enjoy a good day of watching the horses, perhaps with the occasional bet...[:P]

[rich747us]

Besides train-watching (and fostering an interest in modle RR'ing for once I get the $!), I gotta say I love the airplanes!

[CSXrules4eva]

WELL I have so many hobbies becieds trains. . . .. . . . the two other main ones are I play Ice Hockey for the Old York Road Raiders. I've been playing for 10 yrs I'm an Asst. Captin and my position is left wing. I'm also an agressive in-line skater. I skate around train stations (SEPTA/Amtrak) I have skated at 30th street station before. I also skate at a skate park located in South Philly. Basicly I like to skate were ever I wouldn't get introuble. I've only been involved in one competition which was a combination of street skating and the vert rap. I'm better at street skating than vert.

Bridge dynamics is another one of my hobbies. I like to study different kinds of bridges, preferibly suspension bridges. My favorit bridge is the Akisi Kiho suspension bridge in Japan, it's an engineering marvel! My other hobbies are in my profile.

GH, If you'd like, Email me your name, which I should recognize.

Glad you said "attractive waitress". My wife, whom I met at the track, was also a mutuel teller. (Just so you know that I am OK with anybody who had an eye on a waitress...)

Regards,

Jay

[greyhounds]

Hey Jay,

GL is "Home Track". I just retired "Motorcity Merrie". She's going to TLC Greyhound Adoption in Grand Rapids. "Patti's Isabella" is still "On Track" there.

Must have "invested" a few $$ with you over 10 years.

Aside from watching the I&M pick up 500 tons of popcorn with a SD18 that I basically grew up with, Greyhounds at GL are basically my Heaven on Earth.

And there is that one really nice, very attractive waitress in the clubhouse.....

[jeaton]

Hey Greyhound- I worked as a mutuel teller at the Geneva, WI track for about 10 years.

Rarely gambled myself, but if you tell me Streamliner is a "sure thing" and Geneva Lakes has Bghm on simulcast, I might put down a few bob.

Good luck!

Jay

[greyhounds]

Racing Greyhounds! I like things that run on a track.

I've got a little girl running at Birmingham named "Streamliner". Her sister ran there too. Her name was "Hiballin Z Train". She broke a hock one night and now lives as a pet near Joliet, IL.

Collecting barberiana (barbershop stuff) and straight razors. My upstairs bathroom has been conveted to a barbershop complete with chair. I give my inlaws haircuts ( my way of getting even ) and I shave friends and relatives. I shave with my razors, all of which are collectable. Cooking, and writing.
On the railroad front I collect trainmen's uniform hat badges and collar badges, timetables, tickets, railroad watches, and hilarious stories.

I have a new hobby, My job at IHOP

[Anonymous]

I didn't know there was other hobbies except trains[:D][:D]. I go to dirt racing(late models) and NASCAR, others include high school sports and bicycle riding.

[richardy]

Collecting classic toy trains, watching trains and planes (our airport has a great dedicated fenced area to watch both; security will watch but won't hassle you because they know what you are doing), studying signal systems, boating and scuba diving.

[Anonymous]

I'm a huge football fan (Penn State Nittany Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Philadelphia Eagles). Big Star Wars fan, play a lot of video games, listen to a lot of music of a lot of different styles (my favorite bands would be, in no order, Counting Crows, Enigma, Rammstein, Avril Lavigne, and Bond. I'll forgive anyone not recognizing one or more of these). Follow politics, study history. Amateur astronomer. Movie buff. Anime lover. Used to play cello. Writing. Watching the girls go by.

I have lots of hobbies and plenty of spare time, but no money to enjoy them.

What's my two cents, er hobbies? Other than railroading? I have ridden motorcycles all my life, even though I have had kidney failure for the last ten years; my trips are only shorter. The last two years are an exception because of moving from Puerto Rico to Portand Or. and I'm still getting settled here.

For about ten months now, I have been valunteering with the 4449, she's going on a trip for two weeks to montana next week and activity around the round house is feverish!

The orchestra season is starting again, and I am starting my third season with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra, and all valunteer group. I play contrabass (acoustic upright) and electric bass ( a beautifull '79 Rickenbacker).

Before I had kidney failure, I was a diesel mechanic, which was to me a true love as well as a vocation, and still is. I recently took a class on electronic engine controls for diesel engines, and hope to return to work in some diesel related capacity after I recieve a transplant, maybe for a railroad ! Or, I could then be able to donate as much time as I would like to other restoration projects down at the roundhouse.
