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

1. Scuba Diving. Have had my open water for just over a year and have logged about 20 hours under water already.

2. RC Car racing. New to this hobby and it's what taking my time from reeding.

3. Foosball. I play competitively in a league and am going to Portland for a tournament next weekend.

4. Pond. We just built a massive pond in our yard and have fun raising koi. We've had a smaller pond in our front yard for 7 years.

5. Snowboarding. Going on a snowboarding day trip to the mountains on the same weekend that I'm going to Portland for foosball (and fitting in an out of town RC race in between on the same weekend).

6. Traveling. I'm addicted to it. From Dec 1 - Feb 9 (10 weeks), I'll have gone on 12 flights - all pleasure, not business.

All this and family is still #1 on the list. That's why I'm still married and my kids still love me haha. A few of these hobbies I do with my spouse and kids though.

Mine is Crossfit. It is the only thing i have ever found that is more addictive then reefing/aquariums.

Ball hockey has got to be my all-time favourite thing to do as of late. I used to be an avid volleyball player but my back can't handle it anymore. I also enjoy riding our horses but that is more of a seasonal thing. I get bored riding around an arena in circles... I much prefer riding out in the bush.

Love the R/C planes. My dad used to build and fly many years ago. He won a number of awards for his planes at shows in Detroit and was part of a flying club. He still builds the occassional one, but he can't fly them anymore.

I am debating getting into modding my car. For now it would be more esthetics, nothing for performance as I am not mechanically inclined. Lots of folks consider that a hobby..... I've heard it can become quite addicting, so I've been doing lots of research and trying to decide what I want to do.

We also do a lot of camping in the summer, I love to read when I can find time, hiking, cycling.

I have a fish rescue. I have ads in the local papers "please don't flush your fish. Will even pay a small fee" Then I set up tanks in seniors homes, the hospital, anywhere there are folks in need, and maintain them on my dime.

I also rescue feral cats/kittens, rehab and socialize them, spay/neuter them and adopt them out at no cost. I've also rescued two horses from the meat truck, two bearded dragons, two red earred sliders, two gerbils and a fire-bellied toad. At times, I provide a foster home for dog/puppies and I can't even guesstimate how many cats/kittens we've rescued but our feral cat issue no longer exists in our neighborhood.

Ironically, I am an avid hunter of all North American big game, though I don't fish.

I Didn't add shooting because I just recently sold all my shooting stuff. I used o handload for my 223. shot out to 500 yards pretty good! But I had to prioritize my hobbies and unfortunately that one didn't make the list with a wedding coming up.
