+1 on wow's stupid expansions. My wife and I used to play, then we had 2 kids and well... changing diapers took over raiding time.

So as for hobbies... fish tank, new house and 2 kids under 2 years old doesn't leave much time for other stuff. I do sneak time to play SC2 sometimes, but that's usually ended shortly by a screaming child.

I enjoy fishing, but i only got out 4 or 5 times this year, so i don't know if that qualifies a hobby anymore. I definitly enjoy it, standing by the river, drinking a beer on a nice summer day doesn't get much better.

I don't partake in any hobby that is inexpensive.

The ones I do have aside from aquariums and my pond:

-motorcycles - more like an addiction
-woodworking
-downhill skiing - only an occasional pastime though
-gardening/lanscaping

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Try floats, I've got my commercial licence and once you make a water landing on a river you'll never look at runways the same way again!

For other hobbies I hike, downhill ski, photography, sailing (saving up for a boat), kayaking. Our Border Collie is a child-substitute and lately the Total War series of Computer games take up a bunch of my time

Cheers

Ecxellent choice.

I used to fly with the Air Cadets. Had my private and glider licenses. Haven't flown in many years though, just couldn't afford it anymore; both in time and money. Life stuff got in the way. Now I'm so long out of date, I'd have to start all over. I've logged about a hundred hours on powered filight and over 500 glider flights. I'd like to get back into the gliding again someday; it's much more relaxing and peacful, yet at the same time more demanding of the pilot's skills to do it well.

You would be surprised how fast it would come back. I bet within 10hrs you would be comfortable again.

I haven't been up in 2.5yrs, again life got in the way, a new baby & building a house did that. I am hoping to get going again in the spring.

Slick I would love to get my float ticket one day. I did look at a course on Van Island that did bush flying & floats in a week long course. From landing on a lake to landing on a sandbar with tundras... ahhh.. one day

The skills side of it wouldn't be the issue. I'd have to redo all the ground school stuff and re-test.
