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

StirCrazy 02-07-2013 10:19 PM

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.
