rc cars here as well.
And I do a lot of automotive repair work ( head gaskets, clutches, ect.)

Woodworking
Motorcycle riding
Motorcycle maintainance
Metalworking (aka: making stuff for motorcycles:lol:)

http://www.telusplanet.net/public/mi...IMGP0761-2.jpg

Firearms, fish, R/C, woodworking, metalworking, homebrewing, BBQ.

I do a bit of r/c but not as much as I once did. Also enjoy woodworking, winemaking and dabbling in some of the less common up takes in fish keeping (keeping phyto, pods, bbs breeding, working on ghost shrimp farm for live food as well as rotifer cultures.) currently starting a rebuild project on an older motorcycle as well.

Nothing better for me than standing in a stream slinging flies for trout. Also enjoy shootout style drag racing, my backyard stream and pond and dh skiing.

my hobbies include

paying for really expensive pieces of glass (aka photography)

trying to enjoy diving again after turning that hobby into babysitting others (aka teaching scuba)

trying to enjoy aquariums again after turning that into a full time chore (aka marine aquarium aquaculture)

trying to divert discretionary funds away from aquariums and towards travel funds this year

trying to keep up with young kids chasing around a frisbee now that I am approaching middle age (aka C league ultimate)

harassing my dog

I think I am fine within any hobby so long as I don't turn it into a side job... then it becomes 'work'

My other hobby is flying and breeding Birmingham roller pigeons

You nevrr outgrow it. I am 45 and planning out the system for the car i bought. As i tell the wife, there could be worse things to have as a mid life crisis.

My hobies hmm.

Guess automotive would be my biggist, mostly repair, modification and sound.
I own a harley (enough said anout that hobby)
Next would be metal work and wood working, home reno/repairs, and a lirtle bit of everything else.
Getting the shop done so i can set up a paint booth and teach myself to paint auto/motorcycle parts.
Play hockey, coach hockey, and watch hockey.

And probably my biggest onsession, spending money on hobbys.

funny thing is that I'm getting really.tired of driving a vehicle that gets 18mpg highway, so for my next vehicle I'm looking at a prius compact. My biggest dilemma is how I'm going to fit my image dynamics idmax12 in the spare tire well and whether or not the cars electrical system can handle the amps :P

look into the power draw with he heater fan on full, the lights on high beam ect... but stereo off. then figure out the power requirement of your stereo and see if you can upgrade the alternator if you have to. you going to run new wires for the amps so realy you just have to worry about pulling your batteries down.

I have a bit more room as I bought a fusion (42-47mpg) I am looking at using one of the sides of the trunk (behind the wheel well) and making a custom fiberglass box there (spare tire will stay in the car as I might need that). I am trying to maintain as much as my trunk as I can. got to have some place for the hockey gear.

motorcycles, casino, massage, aquarium, r/c cars, boats and planes, home theater, and audiophile 2 channel stereo , and my latest one which is taking up too much of my time is collecting records again.
Just purchased over 600 albums in the last 2 weeks. Some new, but mostly used. Cleaning and sorting them takes a lot of work. Even with the new record cleaning machine I had to buy for $700, still requires about 10 mins per record.
Thats why I just listed my reef tank for sale.

I've owned a TDI Volkswagen for a couple years, I get a hand calculated 65 mpg CDN and I have over 300,000km and I've had to grease my windshield wiper linkage and re crimp the wiring for my trunk lights. I couldn't be happier... the new passet's look very nice way bigger than a prius, better hwy mpg's, and best of all your not driving a Prius! :razz:

Unfortunately the proud charging system is very different from conventional vehicles. The hybrid charging system charges the drive battery and also has a 100 amp 12v charging system for the rest of the vehicle. It might be a good thing if it can handle 100 amps continuous but imnot sure about that.

I built my box behind a wheel well in the cargo area of my blazer and its not too bad for taking up space. Definitely making a fiberglass one next time tho.

If your talking mpg like that then my blazer would get 20% more than I stated. Its been something that has driven me effing crazy with the auto industry in Canada. A few years ago some overpaid marketing person figured out if they use a Canadian gallon (4.54l) instead of a us gallon (3.78l) then all vehicles get a 20% fuel economy boost with nothing else different. That's why 5 years ago or so all vehicles started getting "better" fuel economy. Its so close to false advertising it isn't even funny. No one even uses a Canadian gallon for ANYTHING.

Ok, putting my soapbox away

Fixing this thing up to its former glory is my main hobby at the moment. Apart from that I also like to ride motorcycle, SCUBA dive, ski, snowboard and build things out of wood.

Catalina 22? Very nice!

Yes its a 1973 Catalina 22 and its turning out to be as much of a money pit as my aquarium.

But it's a good kind of money pit :-)

I really like Catalinas... Very nice cruisers.

How are the sails?

No thats what i am actualy getting driving to work and back, that why i bought this it was costing me about 700 bucks a month in diesel.
Ya if it is 100 am continuis then you should be fine. New cars are generaly quieter and the new digital amps are much more efficient.
Does anyone know if they make a spell check plugin for the board for android. Whats worse is my keyboad hides some of the box so i cant see 1/2 of what i am typing lol

I haven't had a chance to use them yet but they seem okay. The jib looks very crisp clean and new while the main has a small rust stain and an area down at the bottom where the twine needs to be re-stitched.

I've done a ton of work so far but there is still much that needs to be done before May when I hope to get it wet. Most of it is actually relatively inexpensive but time consuming which is fortunate because I have the time but not the cash right now. At the moment the boat is stripped and up on blocks awaiting topside and bottom paint.

I mountain bike (2012 demo 8) take the dog with me
I snowboard
And like to ride my R6

I would love to see a pic of thatcomputer case! That would be pretty cool.

I wish I still had pictures of it! Sold it on hard forums 5 years ago and the pictures I took were on a hard drive that failed.

Nowadays I keep important stuff like that on a raided NAS that also gets backed up to another external drive

I've toyed with the idea of building my own acrylic case just for the hell of it, but I want to work with it.more first and get my joints looking better.

have to add leather working to the list , seems like the first hobbie i will have that might actualy pay for itself .

Talk to Rick (global designs) here in town. Rumour has it the back of his chaps are missing a sizeable piece of leather.

Always enjoyed fossil hunting and being a rockhound. My boy quite enjoys so it's good opportunity for a bit of fun education.
