What's your second hobby?

[Jeff L]

I like to do a few hobbies depending on my mood, if I have time, and what time of year it is.

Like to walk around places like Sabino Canyon in Tucson during the Winter and just take some pictures, enjoy the outdoors.

When I need some quiet time I like to sit outside and enjoy the view and do a little reading. Guess it would be called lallygagging!

When I was a kid I collected stamps and comics and buy something now and then.

Use to collect diecast, especially racing, hot wheels, etc. 25 years ago it exploded and greed was rampant and the market was over satuated. It seemed to collapse on itself overnight and all the speculators dumped their “college tuition investments” but it was too late and the hobby for me was ruined. It just turned a relaxing hobby into a situation where people were fighting over hot wheels cars in the isles. It was nuts. Anyone that remembers cabbage patch dolls and how people went nuts to get them is a good example of what went down with diecast like hot wheels treasure hunt editions.

As others I like do some gardening. Mostly flowers and rose bushes. I relax when I am watering, weeding, just puttering around.

Now that I have the space I'll probably put in a small garden. May work my way up as time goes by.

Normally I would just say "other cars" are my hobby but that's been put on hold until I have a new work space. Since I've relocated I've really gotten in to putting around in the hills on my goofy little TW.

I was all amped about my scrambler project during the build and for the first couple trips but have mostly lost interest so it'll be on the chopping block in the spring.

Over the last few years I've gotten more of an interest in things that go bang. Admittedly, but not surprisingly, I find more enjoyment in building them than actually using them.

A recent exercise in ridiculousness...

It's kind of frustrating right now because I actually have a ton of free time but no place to work. There's a certain project I'd like to take on soon but need to wait for my dad to wrap up his boat project so I can borrow some shop space. Keep an eye on the Prison Planet thread for it.

Is that a Mozzin? Very nice.

It is...ridiculous. Hundreds in accessories on an $80 gun. But it gets stupider. I probably have $1000 in milsurp tins to feed it. I'm an idiot.

I am a Father of a three year old girl, and a seven month old boy. That is my primary hobby. Then it is my Monte, ponies and pony wagons, and of course guns!

I like building stuff.

Fixing stuff.

My father in law built one. I tell him he should have just bought a Savage! He was real proud of his three inch group at hundred yards. Then I showed him a nickel size group with my Savage!
