what are you hobbies besides R/C?

[cart213]

My main hobby right now is my kids.

Beyond that and r/c, I collect automotive magazines. I've got about 15~17 years worth of Road&Track, Car&Driver, and MotorTrend. It drives my wife crazy that I've got so many magazines lying around. And a few years ago, I added RC Car Action and RC Driver subcriptions to the pile.

I also enjoy my home audio/video equipment. I've got a 50" Samsung 1080p DLP television, an Onkyo 604 receiver, a Hsu STF-2 sub, and Hsu Ventriloquist speakers. I wanted bigger speakers, of course, but my wife vetoed me.

I love the name of the sub. Reminds me of STFU!!!!

Lets see, besides rc...
- snowboarding = many, many times each winter and a lot of money into trips and gear
- mountain biking = mostly dirt jumping, freeride, and downhill, and I just started racing downhill this year
- cars = I prefer offroading, but fast cars are great too, as long as those fast cars are practical, they're fine with me
- Guns = I enjoy going to the gun range every once in a while to shoot, almost always pistols

My daughter takes up a lot of my time...hence the sale of a lot of my RC vehicles. Aside from her, I'm into home theater:

Family Room:
Samsung 56" DLP - 4yr old 720p model
B&K AVR507 Receiver
Mirage OM7's, OMC2 and Omni 60 speakers
2 x Velodyne DLS-3750 subs
PS3
Wii
HD-DVR
Home Theater Master MX-700 Remote

Bedroom:
Panasonic 42" 720P Plasma
Sony DVD Dream System HTIB
HD-DVR
Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

Bonus Room:
Sony 32" XBR Wega HDTV
Yamaha RX-V1400
Monitor Audio Silver S1 Front/Rear, Silver LCR Center
Phase Technology Power 12 sub

The 32" Wega goes away before the end of the year, the DLP will move up to the bonus room and a Sony 60" SXRD will replace the Samsung DLP in the family room. The Velodyne DLS-3750's are also replacing the Phase Technology Power 12 or being sold in lieu of my new sub I just ordered:
SVS PB13-Ultra

The latest hobby is my 8 month old son. He is a blast and getting better every day.

Then there is RC of course. I also build and ride mountain bikes. Full suspension and hard tails. Then there is guns. WOW. were to start??? Rifles and pistols. I love long range shooting. There not much to top a 1\4 grouping at 800 yards out. I reload all my ammo and build my own rifles. Add to all this I have been wood working for the better part of 15 years. I just like building stuff. Then to top everything off I love the outdoors. I ride 4 wheelers but the 4x4 type. Camping and stuff.

CR*P a lot of us have similar hobbies.. I too am into everything... It's not hard to get back into our old hobbies :), but enough is enough.... Draining the wallet...

Before
.. I was really into Car Audio, I quit with 4x Kore 15" 5000 Watts RMS Subs... :) ... They were loud, but Sound Quality was sh*t.. Car kept on gettin' broke into here in Windsor, Ontario (Across the river from Detroit, MI)

Now.

- I love girls... but now, down to one girl... LOL
- Computer Gaming & Hardware.. not much into that programming part.. (probably my 2nd fav hobby).
- RCs: Land, Air, Aqua.. of course, my biggest hobby.
- Mountain biking and practicing Trial biking, I love it.. still riding with my 1995 Schwinn S9six Home Grown Factory and 2000 Norco VPS Shore
- Rollerblading: Street with my K2s, and downhilling with my 6" air Rollerblade Coyotes(3 wheels)
- Fishing.. love fishing.. Especially Catfish... that's my favourite.. Deep fried catfish is f*cking awesome.. of course not from the Detroit river..
- Food, I love it as well.. I'm trying to rid of this hobby... LOL
- Music, all music is good. favourite are rock, alternative & R&B and Old school Rap.

and my favourite hobbys are Mowing the lawn, shovelling snow, doing laundry and cleaning the house....j/k

It's hard finding time to do all these things while working @ the mushroom farm, but somehow I still manage to do these things... And of course, some of these hobbies are seasonal.. but computers, RC and Biking is all year round.. so I would say those are my favourite 3 hobbies...

[Arct1k]

Campanology, Zymurgy, Xylography...

Ok who had to look those up....

Honestly a 5 year old and a black lab keep me occupied...

But certified geek on pc's so LMK if anyone needs help. If anyone plays BF2 LMK...

hey, we didn't do it! (i'm on the day-twa side). ok, well i didn't do it.

it was funny when i worked in troy - it's a pretty safe and affluent area, but the building i worked in was a 14 story building that was walking distance to the entrance to a major freeway. it was a robber's paradise - every day a number of cars were broken into and would be missing things like entire airbags (all the metal contacts are gold, so they don't corrode) then they'd jump on the freeway and speed away, so they could come back the next day...

one of my hobbies should be guns! but it's not. i hate 'em.

[dirt101]

I do the dirtbike/mx(2007 ktm 200xc) thing on the weekend and the urban mountainbiking thing during the week.(I ride a giant yukon, its nothing special but works for me)

if im not riding one of my bikes im either on here or drivin/working on rcs.
pretty much the only things I ever do. no video games here

I'm pretty busy with work and many childranos but like some of you hi-fi is one of my hobbies:
JLTI SACD player
Rega turntable
Music First Audio transformer preamp
Goldmund power amps (vertically biamped )
Hyperion speakers (SO natural they are great)
Massive homebrew stereo subs (active Peerless 12" design)
Plus the other systems in bedroom etc.
A couple of plasmas but video isn't my thing really.

My other hobbies include (believe it or not) flashlights (mostly DIY from high grade materials). If you want to see some real loonies see www.candlepowerforums.com. LED technology has gone wild- my interest in torches took me into batteries then A123s then BACK into R/C after a few years. Weird, isn't it?
Regards

RC and electronics, mountain and trials biking, disc golf, training my puppy, and playing vids on my 8' widescreen :D My main focus is bikes and RC cars, my two loves since I can remember.
