Hobbies

[Katya4me]

So, all of us are into cars and that is a hobby for most of us, either through involvement in motorsports or car show participation. But what other hobbies do you have?

For me, I enjoy reading, primarily sci-fi in the cyberpunk and paranormal genres and a touch of fantasy too. I typically go through a book or 2 a week. I also make chainmaille jewelry for pleasure and sell a bit too. I made the bracelets that were part of the Valentine's Day raffle. Oh, and I really like the new Dr. Who series on BBC. :)

[evilmonkeyMSP]

i dont do anything w/ enough frequency to call it a hobby.... unless pooping counts lol :p

Right now our hobbies are making the house look purty.

[Foolish]

Mountain biking, road biking, computer games, (esp. racing games) RC cars, hiking, rock climbing, waterskiing/kneeboarding.

Sadly, most of those have fallen by the wayside since having a kid and moving away from my family with the lake house.

Now I mostly play computer games and occasionally get out for a mountain bike ride.

Home improvements, there's nothing like coming home to a house that looks great.

Hey, don't mock the Buddha, everthing looks way more lame once hollywood gets ahold of it and makes a movie. Example: The Fast and the Furious. Until that movie came out, there was no rice in the world.

Do you live far enough out so light pollution isn't an issue or do you have to go somewhere when you do your sky watching?

[Raynman]

Oh and I forgot to mention milsim paintball.


Do you live far enough out so light pollution isn't an issue or do you have to go somewhere when you do your sky watching?

Light pollution isn't too bad where I live, though it could be better. I do have another vantage point which has a low horizon and virtually little or no light pollution.
