other hobbies besides model railroading

I do a bit of photography (as a hobby, not serious professional work), some of trains, some of planes, some of whatever else. I also do some computer programming, and I’ve got a wide collection of half-finished programming projects collecting virtual dust. I’d love to take up R/C planes, but living in a small-but-dense city means there aren’t really any good places nearby for me to fly.

Astronomy… when it’s not cloudy…

yea right… not cloudy in Cleveland, Ohio…

Hockey

Science fiction (read a bunch, write a little, publish none.)

Non-fiction reading, on whatever happens to catch my attention. Key areas - military history and almost every subset of engineering and technology.

Gymnastics - purely as a spectator!

Landscape and architectural photography.

And my most expensive hobby - the young lady I married in 1960, a lacemaker, master golfer and gourmet cook.

(Also bird watching - specializing in the double-breasted, broad-tailed homewrecker.)

Chuck (modeling Central Japan in September, 1964)

Art/cartooning, railfanning, photography (mostly railroad subjects), non-railroad modelling (everything except armor), travel.

Other hobbies? In no particular order:

Railfanning and photogrphy in general. Model railroading took me there.

Industrial archeology (Exploring old coal mines and other industries.).

Quads (4 wheel ATV’S), have three.

Dual sport motorcycles (Off road bike, barely street legal.), one.

Tearing around like a nut in my 95 Miata (Sunny day car.).

Man, I need a better paying job.

Or three.

Lets See… Fishing, NASCAR, MOTOX, Fishing, Spending time wiith the family, and Fishing.

I love to fish. The problem is it cuts into the other hobbies…lolol

Armor modeling and research. KL

So many fun hobbies so little free time, and/or extra money… I like tropical fish, reading, model engineering, full sized steam traction engines, cooking, and cast iron toys.

Snowboarding (if it ever snows enough here in southwestern Michigan [:(!]) playing soccer (and sports in general) 4-H, raising and showing swine, riding and showing horses (trail, western, and my favorite, gymkhana) fishing, and of course rail fanning.

EXACTLY!

Same dilemma here with my basement. Parents said if I get good grades I can have one of the rooms which currently houses my drumset.

computers , computer games , just starting to get into warhammer 40,000

other things i’m interested in but i’m not currently spending any time or money on - guitars and vintage synthesizers (although if you know anyone selling a VCS3 cheap …)

full time i’m a radio DJ and assistant program director of the station. music is a passion of mine and also my job so you could call it a hobby i thankfully get paid for.

i’m also a part time police officer for a local city. i am auxilary so don’t get paid. just do it as a hobby and enjoy it. rewarding when you take certain things off the street and people.

Lets see now, gardening and landscaping, lumberjack, rail fanning, photography and video, computers, reading science and technology, meteorology, and full time grandfather to 9. Do I have enough time for MRR’g? I’ll let you be the judge !!!

My hobbies are: cars (full size, RC, HO scale, but mostly full size), computer games, ang going to school at UTI norwood (learning to fix cars, diesel trucks, and electronics) Right now I’m saving up for a fox body mustang, an old GTI, or even an early 90’s 300zx (coolest japanese car ever)

That’s me onstage at the Roberts Orpheum Theatre in St. Louis at Worship 2006 playing my Ensoniq SD1 and Alesis Ion synthesizers.

Big John, Nice buggy! Here’s my truck. It’s my daily driver for now until I can turn it into a prerunner.

That’s Jared my son, when we were up at Cajon Pass the other month. Jared is 2 1/2 and loves trains. He is my hobby right now. I spend all of my time with him.

Here is what I really love: SCORE

This was last year’s Baja 1000 just outside of Ensanada, Mexico.

Other than that my hobbies are: Surfing, Snowboarding, Ice and Roller Hockey, woodworking, Golf, Photography, Sleeping, Eating Mexican Food, Dr. Pepper, Railfanning, Sand Volleyball, Teaching Jared about trains and sports, Mountain Biking, San Diego Padres, Playing the Piano, Movies, building homes.

I think that is it.

Photography, wood working, collecting old toys, and the one that takes the most money is our grandkids, if you can call them a hobby, all 22 of them
