Other hobbies?

Cherry Picker · Nov 18, 2017

Too many hobbies, not enough time LOL.

I also record music. Been playing guitar since I was 8. I'm 61 now.

Sample. Warning, I'm not a singer LOL.

Another hobby is Drones. I got my DJI Mavic Pro for finding new spots to metal detect with having to walk for miles, and my Eachine V-Tail 210 class racing drone for fun.

Example Drone flight by Boot Hill.

My racing Drone.

Cars. Classic and drags. I'm a Mustang guy so I got my 64.5 Convertible for the shows and my 97 Cobra for the drags.

Work, work work, but when I'm not working, or metal detecting, I have a woodshop. Use to love to fish and hunt and shoot, just don't have time for those too.

If the Mrs is around we head out on the ATV trails.

Now THAT is some fancy woodworking !!!!

Any woodworking stuff I might very occasionally make tend to look more like I'm still in high school wood shop :lol:

(not fancy, but functional :lol:

Drones, neat, I thought about eventually getting a small one, and they do make some really small !

Yo yos !!!! neat, I remember some that would even light up !

I forgot to mention "trying" to learn piano and guitar as a hobby, but I got away from practicing for a while. :lol:

I think I am sort of my dog's hobby sometimes, she will flip on her back and tap me with her paw to get tummy rubs :lol:

.....but she is a genuine member of our family !

Yes, I have one of them, they're really cool! Also have some newer ones, with concave bearings for extra sleep time.

I'm currently teaching myself the recorder & piano.

Hunting (gun and bow), fishing (ice, fly rod, and normal), harvesting wild mushrooms, asparagus, and onions, riding dirt bikes, hanging out and teaching my kids about the outdoors, house/property projects, anything outdoors or working with my hands.

Whirly321 · Nov 19, 2017

I love to bake and cook. I'm constantly challenging myself with new recipes and ingredients. I also get a ton of enjoyment out of digging through thrift stores and yard sales for treasures.

Pulltabby · Nov 20, 2017

Wow lot of talent and interesting people on the forum.
I like classic muscle cars/motorcyles also a Mustang/Corvette fan and owner all my life. Ride a HD or Triumph Bonneville in the summer season.Here is a stock picture of both own.
Hobbies, hiking,coins,flea markets,fishing ,Ebay, mountain biking and so on. Most of my time is mainly owning and training my third German Shepherd.

ps the bottom picture bought , notice his hand must of been some photographer. The replica bike rides better and has the classic lines, often people ask what year.

Hunting / shooting / reloading, and when I have time I like taking my Can Am Commander UTV into the desert and drive really fast.

BottleCapKing · Nov 21, 2017

For me:

Archery, target shooting, fly fishing, cooking, baking, recreational C++/python, and walking up the beach, and walking down the beach sans detector.

Warning: Pic heavy...

When not MDing I have a slew of other interests to keep me busy. Things like old bottles and tins, antique advertising signs and thermometers, old toys, promo and model cars/kits, license plates, antique radios and phonographs, vintage transistor radios,old fans, tvs, clocks, 1920s-30s Jazz 78s, 1950s-70s records (incl. Beatles), and books relating to all these subects. If I get bored with any one of these I always have another to go to. And, oh, my latest hobby lately is staying outta the hospital. :lol:

Raising and training a dog is the one "hobby" that can love you back :lol:

(of course I'm sure you agree they are family and not merely a hobby

WOW !!!! Those are some amazing and neat collections ! :shock:

Reminds me of the old TV show "American Pickers" http://www.history.com/shows/american-pickers

You could open up your own museum !!!! :lol:

GLASSHOPPER1955 · Nov 21, 2017

10-4

That museum pic cracks me up. If only my house was that big I could be dangerous. People who visit tell me I have a museum here. Except I don't charge admission, maybe I should. :yes:

Hey, it could be a modest admission .....any one silver coin, even just one merc ! :lol:

(or just have a donation jar sitting around with a label "silver coins appreciated" :lol:

RR nails

Been collecting railroad date nails for many years now. Nails with a number for the year were put in rr ties when they laid the track. That way they could tell when the ties needed to be replaced. They usually went from 1900 to the 70's or so. Steve in so la

Southern Pacific RR

This 1903 was listed at $300.00 last I checked. Most are way cheaper though.
