This is the reason I got into brewing. So I could have a good beer while working on my rusty nuts and busted knuckles on these Oliver tractors

I love the ocean and marine life, hiking/camping and visiting parks, kayaking, my truck and my wife, my dog, and IT stuff.
Not pictured: my daughter, guitar, music, swimming, cooking, fishing, woodworking, photography, and any diy stuff. I have many passions and not enough free time... I've recently gotten into smoking meats and shooting guns!

The fishing here in San Diego has been phenomenal this year. You can't beat a day like this

I'm a renaissance re-enactor and I shoot period target archery.
I fish
Hunt
And make cheese. My goal with my husband is to have a self sustaining homestead in the next 10 years

I could show you, but it'd be XXX rated. Why do you think I have 6 kids?! But I was into these for years, wish I'd uploaded the older that digital ones...
Won best in class that time at Midwest Mazdafest.

I have too many hobbies to cover easily, but here are the big ones I bounce between:

Bringing this old girl back, 1973 R75/5, this was after a ride with my dad and sis:

And on a ride with my sis:


Plus my fiance has a project car we're restoring, shooting to have it done for the wedding next summer...this was right before it left for paint:


Ice fishing, my daughter loves fishing of all types which is awesome:


This is my old reef tank, a 265gal custom in-wall setup...I'm in between aquarium projects right now but I have a 220gal sitting dry waiting to be set up:


And, I play men's roller derby. Yes, seriously.

I've got an old Minneapolis-Moline I've been working on for years. Up until a few years ago it was still running great on the farm. But when the farm went under we kept the tractor.

Also do woodworking, when the 1 year old lets me.
And garden.

I've pretty much gone from hot rods, muscle cars & tuners to this;

And this;

Bowfishing!

Huh, who would've thought, with a handle like "bowfisher".

This thread just made me fully realize how dull and boring my life is.

Before wife and step kids, I was into guns (still am but moving to MA put a big damper in that), fishing, racing, flying. Been buying a motorcycle at tax time for the last 4 years. Was kayak fishing, then just kayaking, cooking.

Now it is cook dinner 5 nights a week while SHMBO take the kids to soccer practice Monday thru Friday, then soccer games Saturday and Sunday.

Was brewing beer more often, but we now live in a triple decker on the second floor with a landlord living on the first, who equates home brewing beer as manufacturing meth....but being Portuguese she has no problem with the neighbors making wine.

I need a hobby and a life. ha haa
