I like to do too many other things to list them all, no time or money for a dedicated "other hobby" though.
I love to cook, especially BBQ. Built my own grill/smoker out of the base of an old grill and garbage parts. 55 gallon drum and some oven grates make up most of it.
Here's the first burn before I painted it fully, no grates in it.
As a kid I always wanted an ATV but my parents didn't have that kind of money. So I got a nicely kept 88 Warrior, and love to go ride some trails. I usually get to ride a few times a year.
Mine's the red and white one on the left with my gf sitting on it.
And camping/glamping. I have a tent, and a 24' camper. I like to use both. Twice a year I glamp down at the englishtown swapmeet where I cook and buy junk for a long weekend. One of my favorite trips, we tent camped in the old Anthracite mines in PA with our quads. Rode all day long, a great way to spend a holiday weekend.
I like offroading too. My friends have some big trucks, one tons on 38s, 46s, tractor tires, deuce rears, crazy big. I used to like taking my old v6/5speed dakota on 31s through the woods in high school, and I just can't justify these huge trucks, especially with nowhere to go around me. For the right deal I'd build/buy another truck or jeep on 33s or 35s.
I used to beat the balls out of this thing, I miss it to be honest. My current dakota, even with the same drivetrain is nothing like this one was.
And then there's my large collection on Lionel trains, and others. My grandfather was collecting since the 40's. We ran a Lionel Service Station from 68 to 09 (new lionel takeover forced us out of our service station). That's a big part of where the money came from to buy my cutlass as a kid.
I have far more trains than I could enjoy in a lifetime. And on occasion it is nice to tinker with them and run them. Just not the same pizzaz as when I was a kid.
Funny, most of my hobbies have some overlap. I enjoying being outside, at least when its warm out, though sometimes you just need a good ride on the quad in the snow.
