Other hobbies besides homebrew..

[TheBeerNerd]

I was just curious what else everyone on here is into besides homebrewing. I'm sure most people are like me and have more than one hobby...

Other things I enjoy are fixing old Volkswagens and motorcycles, playing music (ties into my career), digital art and I just recently started getting back into model rocketry. One day I also hope to a get a private pilot license.

What do you guys like to do?

I'm big into home renovations. Carpentry is something I dabbled in only days ago (and it was awesome).
I like to partake in photography (film and digital).
I am also a biology student, so I spend a lot of time in lab.

 

[snevey]

OK, really, I do computers and networks for fun, I also like Kayaking, jogging, and weight training... Don't mind mowing the lawn either. Only time I get to myself for 2 hours, no disturbances or interruptions. Well there was that one time...

I'm really into snowmobiling to the point I have a successful side business selling parts and Accessories through my online store. Very expensive hobby because it it involves travel. I get a good deal on parts though. LOL.

I also have a cabin up north and enjoy Kayaking, Jeeping, fishing and hunting.

 

[storm_rider_1]

I like to play softball, and fish, go camping with the family, I also play a lot of paintball in the summer. ride and work on 4 wheelers and snowmobiles, and I like my gardens.

[Zamial]

I like:
- reading posts on HBT and learning while I help others...
- penny whistle
- fishing and *camping.
- shooting things legally that are slower than 2000fps.
- cooking and eating things I shoot.
- to talk with SWMBO.

I used to be a big gamer and now not so much. I am looking forward to GuildWars2 but gave up all others.

* camping is an overnight fishing trip, where I get to sleep in the woods and drink as much beer as I want.

 

[viking73]

There are other hobbies?!?

Seriously though, cooking, bbq, computers, guitar, xbox.

Chasing kids.

Camping with kids (not nearly often enough). Fishing with kids (see sidenote on camping). Gardening to feed kids.

Did I mention that I have kids?

I also like to cook, especially using locally grown stuff either from my garden or the farmer's market.

Once a year I raft the Gauley River with some buds. We also attend the random minor league baseball game. Watching and obsessing over UNC sports.

In addition to fermenting brew, I make tempeh, yogurt and sauerkraut. Photography, hiking, canoeing, gardening, all things outdoors and natural. Reading: politics and history. I'm LLLLLLLLLiberal.

[BlackBearForge]

I hope home brewing becomes a hobby seeing as I haven't started yet, (seems a nice compliment to drinking craft beer!)

My main hobby has been bladesmithing (forging and crafting knives by hand) along with an interest in ferrous metallurgy, though the pressures of recent years have cut back on many activities I enjoy. Add hiking, reading and watching movies old and new to the list and most recently I've discovered the joys of grilling using hardwood lump charcoal.
