Shaun_300 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Like the sounds of those cars you got! I love cars and trucks. My hobbies are hunting of course, fishing, ice fishing, sharpening knives, shooting, tinkering with anything that has an engine. Used to love snowmobiling but the snow hasn't been the greatest in this area for the past couple years to own one. Also the price of gas is ridiculous, so it'd be a very expensive sport.

TBow Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 It seems like my hobbies of late have been shovelling snow, cutting grass (in the warm times), fixing my dealipdated house, buying groceries, paying bills, fixing my kids', mom's and mother-in-law's houses and working in order to pay for everything already mentioned. In my spare time, I endeavor to rest or sleep allowing me to try and do it all over again....time after time after time! .........Oh oh! Did I just say that out loud? OOPS! Sorry What I really meant to say was that I try and spend time with my grandkids, bowhunt when I can manage it, play with my argo and tinker at DIY'er projects when the money allows. In the last 3 years I've been trying to make an annual pilgrimage to the Carribean, but to keep that up I just may have to come back out of retirement and pick up a job as a WalMart greeter! KE Ke ke! I remember back in the 60s and 70s I was into steroid induced cars and trucks. I had a '68 dodge dart GT with a cammed 273, a '70 mustang Boss 302 that turned the 1/4 in around the high 10s in stock condition, a '64 chevy SS Impala with a 327 HO, and a '53 dodge fargo that I tried (but never completed) to retrofit a 289 into it. Funny how 40+ years, 3 kids, mortgages, grandkids and a mountain of bills tend redefine one's priorities! TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Oenology :wine: I'm told that I'm pretty good at it too. Now don't you all run off to Google at once. I didn't need Google for that one Joe:clown:. I can attest to the fact that you ARE a good one. Of course all things outdoors, (hunting fishing trapping). Since my 3 sons are all big now and spend less time with Poppa .... Habitat improvements to our hunting land seem to have gotten my eye the last few years. Most recently...been tinkering with my guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_Spike_King Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Besides hunting as of late, I'm really getting into my Dad and I's old mid 60's IH built Cub Cadets. That and I have been helping my cousin Rebuild an old Jeep, boy that sure has been fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Aside from staying in the woods as much as possible I enjoy digging up Indian artifacts, a little fishing, and spending time with my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Too busy too have a "hobby"...unless bowhunting qualifies...to me a hobby is something that you can put countless hours into, without taking time away from day to day duties Edited January 5, 2012 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Used to be fishing and shooting my bow. For the last 18 months or so it's been getting this thing ready to move into. I did everything but the slab the frame and the sheetrock. I started with a chainsaw and weed eater clearing the lot. We moved in the week of Thanksgiving. Went from 1500 to 2600sq feet.

deer slayer Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 My hobbies are hunting, fishing, and I love to work on anything that's got a motor, like my 86 camaro iroc-z we are also turning it into a street/strip car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 just about anything outdoors. camping, climbing, fishing, hunting, and building. i was lucky enough to take something fun, (building houses) and make a living at it which gave me the money to take bunches of hunting trips. now, couple that with a wife who encouraged me all along the way and i'd call it a charmed life of doing the things i love to do with the person i love.

MUDRUNNER Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I used to mud race before the kids came along, but those days are long gone. Now it's t ball, softball, soccer, gymnastics and whatever else the kids are into. I do like to fish and golf a few times a year, and enjoy taking the family to a few dirt track races.

Tominator Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I like to hunt, oddly enough. I also like gardening, and worrying about my lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pruts Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I hunt and fish. I also play hockey year round, not as much as I used to but I still skate 2-3 times a week. Come to think of it I didn't weigh near as much as I do now when I played more.... wonder if the two are related????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Besides hunting and fishing and hiking. I Love to Civil war reenact!. And Rev/french and indian war reenacting! Not a cheap thing to do at times, But boy is it a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Don't really get much time for hobbies these days, most my time seems to be eat up chauffeuring kids here and there. Spring time and summer I guess our gardening could be a hobby. Enjoy photography and trail cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidd Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 hunting for sure and anything that is involved...ie foodplots, habitat improvement, cameras, practicing, and shed hunting. we burn wood so i enjoy cutting in the winter. i have recently started a bee hive. harvested 2 gals of honey and hoping to learn more this year:) Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger-Hunter Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Boxing, running, weightlifting (light weights, lots of reps)... That's about it besides hunting. I do like to travel, been to Italy about 8 or 9 times. Am going to Aruba next month and perhaps India as well. (see below). LOL. Sounds exciting, but not really.

ckrich Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Bowhunting, duck hunting, and fly fishing are the main obsessions... I mean hobbies. I really enjoy woodworking, and am about to try my hand at turning. One of these days I hope to have a little shop set up where I can make just about anything anybody asks me to.
