Show us your other obsession(s)...

[Chap]

1st obsession the Corps?

The Corps is a lifetime commitment not an obsession (yes I drank all the kool-aid). Beer would be first!

 

[Rivenin]

forgot to add some more.

Thrift shopping (picked this guy up for $40, and is $120 new, only needed the speed control fixed on the turntable) i love dinking around in them. I always walk out with 2 or more beer glasses as well (as you can see from the right side of the stereo)

finding random projects.
turned this

into this recently (just need to fix the left tail light, as it's still bent up lol)

Collecting video game crap

cooking, always better with a beer...

Collecting video game crap

Bwahaha. I have a Miracle piano system, and I loved it. I actually learned to play piano on it until I ran out of lessons, and then took real lessons. I wish it had an advanced package with more songs, I'd have bought that in a second.

same here! lol, my parents thought it was awesome back in the day for us kids, so they bought it, and during a move we lost it
ended up finding that one almost complete for $5 at a thrift shop, i still had the game and cord! so i was good lol.

How do you do that? I used to get into making costumes, but it usually consisted of sheets, plastic, duct tape and paint. Nothing ever this good.

A lot of cutting, folding, and gluing paper together, a couple gallons of resin and sheets of fiberglass, and about a gallon of bondo. And way too much time. I've got another one going right now, hopefully it'll be done when Halloween rolls around.

 

[ShepFL]

My other obessions -
Hunting of all kinds, rebuilding old tractors and restoring my old 1950 GMC pickup into vintage inline hot rod.

 

[Toymaker]

I finally finished our first video for Halloween. Yes, this is our house!
The flames are real I have used some parts of my beer making to incorporate into the display like the propane control and check out the beer bottles under the skeleton picture.. No non-beer making person would have 300+ label less-bottles to put on display.lol

Indeed. If I had disposable income I'd be contacting you directly, Blademaker.

 

[ShepFL]

Very cool knives. Would like to discuss damascus skinning knife (fixed blade) for mountain man rendevous and then perhaps 4 or 6 nice folding pocket knives. Send me PM.

A couple of mine:

My garage is about to be taken over by this.

 

[jtkratzer]

Took a factory Model 10 Predator Hunter in 260 Remington, picked up a stock that had a paint job I didn't care for, stripped it, and repainted it, and added a base, rings and scope.

I'm addicted to fly fishing

 

[mpride1911]

I'm glad I saw this thread, I've felt alone with my personality. I have a growing gun collection for shooting and hunting, I enjoy hand loading my ammo on occasion. I have a boat with too many fishing poles that I love to take out, even if I never catch anything. When I get home from Afghanistan I intend on getting a Triumph Speed Triple. I prefer to make my things around the house, as my bar, bed and TV stand are all hand made as few as a few other things around the house. My cars have unfortunately fallen by the wayside as the Army doesn't pay me enough to support all of the things I enjoy. I bought everything I need to build a flat brew stand with PIDs and jet burners, 2 pumps, some carboys and a 6 tap keezer, during this deployment to Afghanistan, though I've yet to brew a singe pint before. Then there's the guitars, amps and recording equipment. I have a few GoPro cameras that I love to use as well. I put this clip together with pictures I took and video from my helmet camera. It's based on an inside joke. There's not really a C co movie, and the NY times certainly did not review it.

Inlaws gave me this Pentax ME Super last night. Thinking it might have been purchased to take baby pictures shortly before my wife was born. I have a couple other Pentax bodies and I'm pumped about running film through it.

Origami. Anatomically correct (mostly) origami. Like this one:

And close-up magic. Which strangely, seems to be more common with origami than one might think.

 

[storm_rider_1]

I have a few.

Grilling/Smoking

Riding this thing.

Fishing

Playing paintball, collecting paintball guns.

 

[Frige]

I must be add I have a million hobbies. Guns hot rods, beer. etc.

The ME super is a really great camera. I hope you enjoy it.

 

[Ply318ci]

These are pretty much mine. The Mt. bike is a Trek fuel EX 6.5 and the dirt bike in the middle is my street legal 2003 XR650R on a dual sport ride in Yosemite.

I'm already running black and white through it and I'm planning on picking up stuff to develop and scan myself.

If you haven't decided on anything yet - I've been using Ektar 100 and Unicolor C-41 (http://www.freestylephoto.biz/10123-Unicolor-Powder-C-41-Film-Negative-Processing-Kit-1-Liter) with good results. I still prefer scanned film to digital.

 

[jwwbrennan]

We live along the coast so this can consume hours that might otherwise be wasted on mowing or tending the garden.
