Are, not is.
Hobbies is plural.
Hobby is singular.
Are for plural.
Is for singular.

I knew what he meant. :thumb:

A different perspective:
Hobbies change. I am in the next stage of my life compared to some of you. My children are grown now and after spending 20 years nurturing, watching, chasing, cheering, disciplining and teaching them has mostly come to an end. Sure, we still go to our son's college soccer games but driving and flying to places like Alabama or New York is not quite the same as going out to the local soccer field or basketball court on a Saturday morning and cheering them on.
We are going down to South Carolina tonight so my wife can go wedding dress shopping with our daughter. :nono: Basically what I am saying is what was an all consuming life for 20 years has now come to an end. A bit of counseling here, a bit of teaching there still happens but by and large it's over and no matter what anyone tells you it's a tough transition if you are a good parent.
I used to build a lot of things like tables, desks, cabinets and things but after awhile, you don't need any more of those items. I still have all my tools and use them every now and then but not like I did back before kids or during kids.
I still ride the crap out of mountain bikes though and will until I either physically can't ride anymore or until I die. I love it that much. I did several night rides this season and that opens you up to a whole new world! It's tough now sometimes to hear the dreaded "on your left" and see some 20 year old passing you. You know that not too long ago (well, maybe too long ago haha) you would have been saying the same thing to him. That's OK. Slower is not a bad thing I keep telling myself.
We still live life to the fullest even though we are getting older. We hike, go on trips at the spur of the moment, drive 1,000 miles in a day, etc. We still have plans and dreams but they are scaled back quite a bit from our younger days.

The moral of my story is this: Enjoy today. Whatever your hobbies are you need to enjoy them today. Tomorrow you might either lose interest or physically be unable to do them anymore. For those of you that are active with your children, enjoy every moment and take lots of pictures because that part of your life will be gone in the blink of an eye. For those of you who are into adrenaline producing hobbies, the adrenaline still kicks in baby!!!
 
My main other hobbies would be surfing and climbing (bouldering specific). You wouldn't think it, but the PNW is a great place for both!

Nice, i come from a long line of wrestlers. I think it's the best sport there is. Actually one of the original sports from which the olympics originated. There was talk about eliminating it from the olympics. Nothing better than the feeling of winning a one on one competition. My son and my nephews are continueing to carry the torch.

I like women's butts, more specially playing with them.

Thats actually my favorite past time, border line addiction.:spy:

some of my hobbies include:

custom cars, trucks, and motorcycles
off roading
fishing
hunting
camping
survival training
just became a grandpa
music production, songwriting , recording and engineering
volunteering
fundraising
weight training
orienteering
canyoneering
outdoors
firearms
mma training
dirt stock car racing
off topic sections of forums
oh i just started learning to play the guitar, almost got my first song down.:guitar3:

I couldn't agree more! I've got some years on you Greg and still enjoy a lot of things you mentioned with the exception of adrenaline producing hobbies. I also have grandkids to enjoy and my kids all live nearby again. Life is good even when you're an old guy.
 
My main hobby is my Musclecar. I have a 72 Camaro Z/28 and it's a resto mod. It has a worked 454, a Tremec 5 speed stick, and a 12 bolt rear with 3:73 gears. I have a group of car buddies and we go to shows and cruises and hang out and talk cars and sports.

Here's a few pics of my Camaro:

I'm also big time into bass fishing. Years ago when I was single, I purchased a small vacation home in the Pocono mountains of northeastern PA and I go up there several weekends a year with my wife and kids. I have a 14' aluminum boat that I use for bass fishing.
