What are your hobbies??

[RamThis]

Basically what the title implies. What is your favorite hobby you do when you have nothing else pressing to do??

Here's mine.....

I've been flying since 91. This is a modified Goldberg Eagle 2, with a Saito FA-50GK 4 Stroke OHV engine, and a Futaba Super 7. The wing I just built last winter, as the old one was destroyed. The plane took a major hit back in 2000 or so, maybe a month after my brand new plane that only had maybe 20 flights on, went in at full throttle and re-kitted itself. The onboard reciever battery pack died and there was no saving it. The one pictured, did the exact same thing, but it was saved by a large tree that it flew into, so it didnt just smash itself into the ground. So, I built a whole new wing, partly from a wing kit, partly from scratch (kit bashing) and flew my old plane again after all those years. I had gotten out of the hobby for some time, but recently gotten back in to it a tad. Havent had time for it much lately though.

Fun hobby, just a bit expensive...... :



And of course, my other love, my hot rod Rams. (Hence my screen name....)

[RamThis]

Great pics guys!!!


trd_4runnin, man I used to go fishing every single day after work for years (when I was single and living at home with the folks) I miss it alot. Maybe someday I'll get to go fishing again lol.


alaskaman, I would love to take up photography, I am a picture whore around the house and everywhere I go lol. I just dont have the good equipment for taking quality pics.

 

[trd_4runnin]

Yeah, I used to go about 3-4 times a week. But like you said, now I live with my Fiance and 3 month old baby and I dont really have time to do anything anymore!!

When I have free time, my hobbies are photography, anything sports, computers, playing Flight Simulator X, and collecting model cars. Here is a recent picture I took from my trip to San Diego:

Ok, here we go...
RamThis, I just got an Hirobo RC Helicopter that I am becoming good at destroying and I'm no stranger to a spray gun. I've had fun on a few candy coated hot rods and some custom bike work. One hot rod I worked on was a friend's '40 Ford coupe we chopped the hood but kept the roof so that you can drive it comfortably. It has a 454 and will run high 10's in the 1/4. I'll soon be back in the spray shop refinishing the wheels off an FJ that just got blasted.

Catsman72, Gotta love powerlifting! I'm more into bodybuilding, but every once in a while I will stack 'em up for some deadlifting intensity.

My love is skiing. Fast downhill blasts (I used my GPS to clock a 59 mph top speed), moguls, steeps, off piste, halfpipe are how I will spend a day on the hill. I took a few seasons off from instructing to spend time on the slopes with my wife, but I'll be teacing again soon. I ski mainly at Sugarloaf and Sunday River with the occasional trip out west. Looking at Big Sky country this upcoming season.

My dog takes up a lot of our spare time in the summer. After being cooped up all winter, he deserves it. We will hike in the hills of midcoast Maine or at Acadia NP. He's a 75 lb black lab. You can always tell my truck because his head will be stuck out the window, makes for an interesting custom finish on the paint, dog pinstriping :artist:

Thanks!!

I agree. Very nice shot.

San Diego Zoo or Wild Animal Park?

 

[RamThis]

Cool great hobby pics guys keep em coming!! Always neat to see what everyone is into other than our mutual admiration of the 4Runner :bigok:


Rook, have you thought about getting an RC Simulator for your PC? I have been flying fixed wing aircraft for many years, but want to venture into electric helis. I plan to get a good flight simulator to cut my teeth on flying a rotory craft since it's going to be such a difficult transition vs having just learned helis to start with. I've flown a few flight sims and can do decent, hovering is my biggest challenge lol.

My hobbies include basketball, photography, and guitar.

I haven't taken any photos in a long while. I need to get some batteries for my N80, and I'd really like to get a DSLR someday as well.

I used to play basketball anywhere from 3 - 5 days per week during school, but since I graduated, I haven't played since. I'm trying to find some people to play with, but its really hard. And I can't afford a gym membership right now.

I haven't played guitar for a couple years either. I'm going to start playing again soon.

The Accord is also a hobby. But I've been thinking about how much money I want to spend on it lately. Some days I think I want to get more for it, other days I think it's done.

My hobbies are and not limited to:
Bowling, 4Wheeling with my ATV, cooking, and my favorite computers. I have my quad booted PC with two Linux and two Windows flavors, my server box and a couple laptops. I listen to tech podcasts for fun, I am a true geek.

I had dual boot for a while, XP Pro and XP Pro 64-bit. The 32-bit version started deleting files on its own for some reason, and it screwed up 64-bit also. I found that weird. Then I tried Vista, but it had too many driver incompatibilities. So I was going to install XP Pro 32-bit again, and it screwed up. Needless to say, I now have two 320 GB hard drives..

I love bowling too. I used to league with some friends last semester.

San Diego Zoo or Wild Animal Park?

Thanks, this was taken at the San Diego Zoo. Unfortunately, we did not have time for the Wild Animal Park.

 

[Jaebster]

Where do I start...

Reef Tanks (currently have a 50G and a 30G. Waiting to convert 125G to reef)
Wines - collecting and drinking.
Motorcycling - my sig has all my mods.
SCUBA (& underwater photography)- got spoiled in Hawaii with the warm water so I don't do too much of it out here in Cali.
Hanging out with my dog and watching Korean Dramas with my gfriend.

getting my feet wet in to...
Fishing - starting off with my G.Loomis and Trinidad reel
Jetskiing - will be buying a Stand-up Jet Ski (Kawasaki 800SXR) very soon with a Zieman Trailer. Stand-up Jetskiing is waayyyy fun.

.. yes, i need to get down to the hobby store to get the sim. This is my first heli, so I am working on calibrating the controller and ensuring the blades are on an even path. Heli's are so touchy.:cursin:
