I guess I can add car audio to the list. I thought I outgrew it being 28 now, but last hear I got the urge to tweak my blazer just a little

I like to build and fly aircraft, esp amphib floatplanes. Here is one of my planes (took me 8 years to build it) and a favorite alpine lake destination, Skwawka Lake (only accessible by floatplane).

And a couple youtubes flying into and out of there.

That's awesome! I finished my private license 3 years ago and have hardly flown since. I want to build a challenger II but don't know when time and finances will allow. I guess I have some time yet tho

Well, if you have your PPL, you're well on your way. I just wouldn't pick that one to build, though.

I consider flying a gift and a privilege. People just don't know what they are missing. And it is a lot easier to do than most think.

Well, it also fits in with mountain top (above the tree line) hiking, which I enjoy as well. I just need to become a better photographer so I can share. Usually, I rely on my pax for that, but they sometimes are more consumed with the moment, than taking good pics.

I also rigged up a canoe that can I carry into these alpine lakes. That further enhances the experience. Good for fishing, too. Here's a couple more youtubes.

Video games tops the chart for me. I race 2 nights a week in a competitive online F1 race league. The season lasts 19 weeks with 4 1 weeks breaks so definitely takes up a lot of time when you factor is additional practice time on top of the 1.5 hour race sessions.

Photography is another one, but I have sort of taken a break from it. Would like to get back into it now that I am back into reefing though.
