And I see you're pretty damn good at it.

Knitting, gardening, and canning I also like to do a little wood working. I'm not great at it but I enjoy it

Archery with my daughter, gearing for her first bear hunt. Reading, hunting, trapping, fishing, and of course drinking good beer!

Bowling, wait, I think this is the third time I said that on this thread!

motorcycles, hiking, kayaking

Playing guitar
Reading, especially physics/cosmology
Just got into vinyl so going to the record store

My main hobby is collecting hobbies.

My hobbies besides homebrewing are marathon swimming (open water competitions 10K and longer), studying languages (I've never met a language I didn't want to learn), collecting first edition novels of certain Brit authors (E. Waugh; G. Greene; T. Sharpe; K. Amis).

Let's see I ride motorcycles and dirt bikes, collect/shoot guns and reload, Work on the house, play computer games (many world of Warcraft). Generally work in the garage and do whatever I can myself.

I ride motorcycles, do any home improvement projects I can myself, love to cook, play video games, and am a LEGO collector. Love those little blocks. Recently I've taken to converting pictures into LEGO murals in order to pass the time on deployment.. I've finished an Iron man that came in at 13878 pieces, and is approx. 4ft x 3.5ft And am working on another that is slightly smaller.

I try to play basketball when I can (haven't in a while), read, watch movies and TV shows, write short stories and DIY type home projects.

- fishing
- electronics
- Arduino
- Raspberry Pi

I'm stuck in the hobby hopper category.

The ones that stuck long term:

video gaming (PS4 mainly, some PC)
reading (fantasy, science, sci-fi)
my kids (1 and 3) so this one takes up a lot of time
cooking

The worst one that got away:
guitar (Need to return to this one)
biking (see guitar above)

besides brewing?

Reading, writing (fiction) and shaving.

Yes, shaving. As in vintage double edge razors. Used to own a bunch but narrowed it down to two. Along with that I built a large assortment of shaving creams, soaps, and razor blades. I'm set for several years. Even with all I spent, it's less than I would have spent in a year on the newest Gillette cartridges.

Oh! and this! I didn't know shaving counted as a hobby. I'm in.

I have to dig out the vintage double edge razor pop gave me when I needed to start shaving that grandpa gave him. Takes double edge, Wilkinson sword sort of blades with nerf bars under where the edge sticks out. Fancy scroll work on the handle. I write books, brew, cook bbq, & just got back into doing videos today with a re-download of Windows movie maker 2.6, which I seem to have lost in saving before re-install. Can't wait till Friday to get paid so I can get a huge pack of batteries for my powerhog...er...powershot. Gotta get a cell phone mem card & adapter so I can use some 2MP shots stuck in there. Thing shoots pretty decent video & sound for 2 megapixels. Now if I could walk normally, I'd get out fishin' & huntin' again...l

Added a new one...shooting trap.

Hunting ( whitetail deer and turkey )
Fishing ( Bass, crappie and catfish )
Golfing

Offshore sailing and I like playing with model trains.

I have what I refer to as rotating hobbies. Currently I homebrew and fish (I run bass fishing tournaments),but other rotators are:
Bicycle riding
Camping
Woodworking
Writing
Reading
Painting
Veggie Gardening

There's no predicting when an interest will wane and another rotator will take its place.

I like to run marathons and play the drums. :rockin:

Mtb racing. Cooking and baking, traveling

Hobbies beside homebrewing-

Baseball cards.
Reading.
BBQ.
Whitetail deer hunting (archery & muzzle loader)
Scale model building (sci-fi, cars and planes being my preferred kits)
Art
Video games (Battle Pirates and Dino Hunter-Deadly Shores on Facebook)
Going in costume to a Renaissance Festival.
knife making (been awhile since I've done this, as I still need a proper workshop)
Podcasting (really wanting to get back into this one at some point. Used to do a program on Blogtalk Radio similar to the format of Coast To Coast AM. UFOs, conspiracies, government cover-ups, that sort of thing. Yeah, I know, I'm weird. )
SWMBO wants to start a garden next year (Perfect excuse for me to lay out a spot to grow my own hops! :rockin:)
SWMBO also informs me she is thinking about learning how to keep a few beehives for pollination and collecting fresh honey. (I see mead and honey laced beers in my future, perhaps.)

Theoretical Physics and Abstract Mathematics for the most part. Although, I like to cook and hike as well.

Used to play the Bagpipes, drag racing, keeping saltwater fish and restore old military vehicles. Currently metalworking, woodworking, shooting/gunsmithing, Ham radio (Amatuer Extra licence), gardening, home canning, fishing and whatever else strikes my fancy at the time.

Looks like you already have it in the wrong order...

I make custom vinyl decals, play bass and ukulele and used to play a lot of paintball scenario 24 and 48 hr games.

Moved in to our first house on Monday, so I guess home repair/renovation is my new hobby.

I'm in the process of buying a house, so I'll have the same hobby soon.

It's fun, frustrating, and scary. Just a heads up.

Whiskey, cars, motorcycles, cooking, working out, and most importantly my 1 week old baby boy.

Pyrotechnics... This is my baby at 33:55.

Anyone else here ever build a potato cannon? I used to mess around with them until a flaming potato nearly caught my entire backyard on fire. Not cool......

I've always been into audio (home/car) and I have four bicycles that I ride often:
Here I am on Strava.

Cooking of course. Building stuff of course. And working out 3-4 days a week so I can feel good about all my drinking and eating...

Oh I know, this isn't my first house. Sold my last one three years ago, so I've been renting since then. The ex and I had it built, so there wasn't much in repairs or upgrades to do to it. I'm looking forward to buying an older house, and the projects that will come with it.
