You seem to be a very well rounded guy. And I don't mean chubby. LOL (we've met folks)
Watched mama coon and four little ones wander out for a stroll last night from my tree stand. One nice forkhorn and two doe. Took a turkey both weeks. Getting ready for Rifle. Send me a pic of the big one. Kevin PS. We should go to GD with this one.

Coon hunting wouldn't be sport around these parts, you could just walk up to them and club them. Same as the deer I suppose too!

I collect old toy trains---Lionel, American Flyer, Marx, etc. Will trade truck parts or pay cash if anyone has some they want to get rid of. Tried hunting deer. Fell asleep in the snow and woke up to find tracks and a yellow spot by my shoe---relaized they were sending me a message. Tried hunting pheasent---shot one---then put it in boiling water to get the feathers off---smelled like crap---wound up throwing it away----gave up on bird hunting. Do like to fish---practice a unique form of "catch and release". What I do is release before I catch thereby minimizing the stink associated with fish. Like to canoe. Getting tired of working on 71 Jimmy, may just put it up for sale as a 80% completed project!! That's what happens when you get old~~~~~Huck

Mess with computers, also have a few lionel and marx trains I plan to do something with some day. Do models every once in a while. Like being outdoors, working in the yard and having fun with the kids.
I like hiking, but not into hunting/fishing any more. I think spending a great deal of my youth on my grandmothers chicken farm made me sick of killing/catching/cleaning anything. Killing and cleaning (by hand) around 10,000 chickens every fall as well as other livestock for about 10 years...well...I just don't want to clean anything any more if I don't have to.

The wife barely lets me work on the truck much less "WASTE" my time on anything else. My 15 month old boy keeps me pretty busy now days.

Only fish I got this year was the one I ordered at Red Lobster though. No time....... Go Mariners.....

I spend most every Saturday working in the shop at a railroad museum. I like to go hunting with my stepson, so far we haven't killed any birds. Hope to be able to go not kill any deer next year. Photography, woodworking, railroad history, model trains, old trucks, and advanced amateur beer taster.

Well it's more of a life style than a hobby but I've been a long time practioner on the Martial Arts, Jiu Jujtisu, Aikido, Judo and Hapkido.
I also have been a long time collector/seller of vintage Space/TV/Music toys and Collectibles, Lunch Boxes and much more. I pretty much gave up collecting for Hot Rodding but I still study Martial Arts 3-5 times a week and will do so until I am dead. I also love to Fish and go Camping.

I build, and race R/C monster trucks, mostly Kyosho USA-1s, but I also like models, and am really liking these big wheels on models, matchbox and diecasts.

I spend most of my free time playing hockey. I also like to fish and work on old cars. I dont collect anything but bills, and my wife has been coming up with lots of new home projects
 . Hay DanodMano, I also work for Alaska airlines, I'm an inspector at Oakland maintenance base, but me and my wife dont travel too much. Once a year to Cancun is about it.

I am a short-track speedskater and a slalom/trick/barefoot waterskier. I just restored my 1972 Honda 50 Mini Trail I so my boy could tear the crap out of it too. I am getting into slot cars this winter with my son. I collect Anheuser Busch Steins and memorabilia. Now working on this truck is not a hobby it is a full time J.O.B., which keeps us Just Over Broke~! LOL

My favorite passtimes:
1. Rugby (pads are for whimps) 2. Waterskiing competed for a while in slalom, trick, and jumping, to much work. Know I just ski and drive around in my Mastercraft. 3. Remodel and restore old homes. 4. Camping and highking. Well of course Trucks!  Leaves very little time for any one thing, but I never get bored with any of them. Always on the go.

Actually, I do mostly Lionel--mostly Modern Era--and some Marx--8-whl plastic--and I'm in the early stages of starting a layout. I'm a Road Name collector: Frisco, MoPac, T & P, USA, USN, USMC, and some corporate names, like Shell. What's your focus?

Hockey and computers are my hobbies. I live for computers, It all started when i was 12 and took our computer apart into pieces and my dad came home and got so pissed, thought i ruined the computer and grounded me for 2 months but the next day he came home and i had it completely back together, he was so amazed that he let me off grounding in a week

I have too many! Not enough time to do them all the way they should be done.
1. 5 Year old and a 6 month old son. You know, build with blocks and wipe up slober. 2. Play guitar (or at least try) 3. Motocross on my KX250. It may soon become a new ZZ4 for the truck though. 4. Boating and watersking. We spend about every weekend from April to October at the lake. 5. House projects. We have a new home and there is a lot of work painting and landscaping 6. Chiefs Football! We have season tickets, so we spend a lot of time at the games. 7. And of course the truck! Depending on the week these swap priorities (except number 1 is always number 1).

Hunting, Softball and SCUBA! I'm a Divemaster for a local dive shop so I help teach Scuba classes 2 nights a week and about 1 dive trip a month. I love spearfishing on Scuba so I usually bring home a nice seafood meal.
