SWMBO hobbies?

[Llysse]

I get HWMO, very clever, WTF is HWIMBO?

Ha, that's funny. I typed the vowel I read in my head--I was meaning HWMBO. (We must both be obeyed--we are pretty even steven, but we have more or less completely different methods of transmitting "orders.")

However, I think I MUCH prefer nealf's take on the acronym...

 

[AubreyR6]

HWMBO - I guess if thats what you want to call him.... Obeyed, Ha!

Anywho, I wish he would have an actual hobby, I keep trying to work on him to do something. We both ride and ride on the track

(which is very expensive btw) so he pretty much is constantly tinkering in the garage, which I guess is his thing...

I brew, he helps me drink it and I like making candles. Maybe some of your wives, who sound pretty crafty, would enjoy doing the same...

We have some things (actually most things) we do together. Mostly fishing, kayaking, boating, etc, that involve being outdoors. My solitary hobbies are brewing and reading. Bob gardens mainly. He has a greenhouse, and the whole bit. He mentioned last night that I spent $600 more on my brew rig than he did on his greenhouse. I didn't even think he noticed!

His gardening isn't "just" gardening, though. He started with the seed catalogues a month ago and diagrams out the beds and keeps records. He'll start seeds in February or March, and put new shelves in the greenhouse. His gardening hobby is definitely on a par with my brewing.

Does he grow you some hops?

SWMBO and I seem to share alot of the same hobbies such as reading, enjoying some good movies and tv shows, and just going to the beach (I surf and she gets tan (or a few times she will bring one of the extra boards out if the kids are at the grandparents)). We also brew together which is fun (and easier sometimes with two people) and does knitting and cross-stiching. I'm trying to get her to be my gym partner since I like working out and would love her to be more active (she's not overweight; but just want to share my thrill of active sports with her).

It's not her hobby; but she also does a hell of a job taking take of our two daughters, our puppy, and the biggest baby ME

MY ex-swmbo was a professional evil clown, chef, did some stage design, and mostly makeup design for movies. Her "on set" in the death shirt I got her

Haha, need to get the blood in their somehow.

More like a catheter. That sh!t takes forever.

HWMO and I met through motorcycling, which is our primary shared hobby. We love long distance sport touring. He is an aficionado of old BMW bikes and has gotten me into them, too...we now have 3 "Airheads" (slang term for the old air-cooled boxer engine).

He also tinkers with old Dodge trucks. He has a 1962 Dodge Town Wagon, a 1968 Uniline, and we have the 1962 M-37 (military Power Wagon).

He also, being an engineer, is very much a stickler for maintenance and whatnot, so he spends a great deal of time and energy into making sure everything is in tip-top shape.

And, of course there's sex. That's always a good hobby to have in a marriage. Cheaper than brewing, too.

We've been working to find hobbies that we can enjoy together. We do a lot of camping during the summer, and this last summer I finally got her to go backpacking with me. Right now we can't go much because of the rain, but I got her a diamondback hardtail mtb and last time we went out she cleaned some sections that I got stuck on.

I've tried to get her interested in brewing, but so far it's only worked for the finished product. When we first started dating she though corona was heavy. A couple days ago I found a bottle of porter missing from the fridge

In her own time, she does a lot of reading and plays The Sims. Just within the last two months or so she's gotten interested in making earrings, so we'll see if that one sticks around.

 

[Yooper]

Does he grow you some hops?

Yes! but I actually planted them, and he's encouraging me to get more rhizomes this year. He LOVES the fresh cascade pale ale, and he also liked the hallertauer ale. He told me he'd like me to get centennial rhizomes (at least two) for this spring for him to take care of and harvest.

 

[JesseRC]

Making Jewelry, beads and scrapbooking. All of which can be expensive. I just bought her a Cricut expression that auto cuts stuff for her. Her hobby closet is bigger than mine, so she has no room to bitch yet.

Your wife and my wife would get along well.

nice looking plants! my first year bines were rather wimpy looking compared to those.

 

[brewmonk]

mine watches the E-channel, and jogs.

 

[carbonbrew]

mine brews with me

 

[Reedwalker]

laundry, dishes, and trying on sexy lingerie in front of me

 

[jpc]

Lots of women chiming in here!

He Who I Must Blow Often.

 

[HPDrifter]

Mine is Director of PR for the Federal Health Minister (That's the Surgeon General over there.) That keeps her pretty busy!

She has just accepted a job with Department of Veteran's Affairs, so we'll see where that takes her. For Hobbies, she READS like it's going out of style.. and supports my brewing hobby.

 

[schweaty]

My SWMBO is an artist. Not professional, but she does it as a hobby. She recently got into designing and making of Japanese lunch boxes called Bento. It's pretty interesting and I get to sample her new foods so thats a bonus. She's also really into Geisha culture and Japanese culture as a whole. It was pretty cool when we went there for our honeymoon as she knew everything. It was like having my own tour guide.

 

[Houblon]

It was my wife who started brewing so I would say thats her hobby, besides beer travel.

We both ride and ride on the track
(which is very expensive btw) so he pretty much is constantly tinkering in the garage, which I guess is his thing...

Racing is the fastest way to burn money,piles of money.
I did that for 6yrs (ama/ccs/wera) and the year I stopped racing a bought brand new acura & went to europe ,next year bought a house & went to europe , third year just went back to europe. All that and still didn't spend as much as if I was still racing

Would hate to see todays cost of racing, use to buy 55gal drums of racing fuel @ $1.75gal.
Longtime ago at daytona

 

[AubreyR6]

We don't actually race at this point, this will be our second year just doing track days. We have a ton of friends that race and it is crazy expensive!!

Thats a great pic - what (besides money, I guess) made you stop racing?

 

[the_bird]

He Who I Must Blow Often.

That's the kind of hobby I'd like to get SWMBO to take up, but alas....

 

[Houblon]

Money wasn't the problem, I was 27 & life was calling. It took 15yrs before I lost "need for speed", still have a de-restricted `92 Honda Japanese-spec NC30 sitting at my other house.

 

[JMG680]

My SWMBO has two hobbies Spending my money and Collecting ex husbands

Not sure if the two go together or not.

 

[Saccharomyces]

Mine's into scrapbooking. Now that I have my rig almost completed and buy my grains in bulk I fully expect my hobby to be cheaper than hers this year... which would be the first time since I took up photography before brewing.

 

[arch1tect]

Mine does cake decorating and baking as side income. She's come a long way and makes some fantastic cakes which also taste great. She also does a bit of gaming, quilting and designs my client's Wedding Albums.

lol! I have a racer friend who quips "If you plan on racing, think about a nice cocaine habit instead. At least your family can understand that and the cost is about the same."

SWMBO loves to cook she rides a Fatboy and we camp. She tolerates the brewing and likes the end product but has no interest in brewing. He new hobby is spoiling the crap out of the grandson.

 

[ISLAGI]

SWMBO quilts and does the Cricut thing (designs her own cards gift tags for family).

I'm bringing her along with the brewing thing. She got a oatmeal stout kit for her birthday and is loving drinking it.
