Other Hobby Addictions

[JDigital]

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.

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.

Add me to the list of a PPL... Though I have't had any stick time in around 5 years... I hope to get going again soon though.

Other hobbies seem endless, I hunt, camp & fish. Leaving for a 7 day African hunt in May. Will be my first trip there... That is eating a little of the reef fund, lol.

I am into wakeboarding, wakeskating and wakesurfing.

I just wish I had more time to ride!!!!!

SHHH! don't tell people that secret. Its more fun when you tell them and they're a little in awe.

Hockey (both watching and playing ice/ball), working with anything stone or rustic wood, home theater and all electronic gadgets, pond (approx 3500 gallons) with many new un-added additions (will be trading a few in the spring/summer), drinking and having fun with my friends (have to list it because its probably more costly than all the others listed combined, lol), cats (three monsters running this place now with the bengal kitten just dominating two nearly 30lb-ers!!!), and I guess I should mention my job (ROV operator). I think the aquarium hobby was what peeked my interest and opened the door to this career.

The Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) - we see these quite frequently and they are very territorial. They will literally attack our ROV (the size of a small minivan). Although according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_wolffish they will only attack humans when defending itself out of the water but I've heard stories from divers stating otherwise!!!
