@Ty Hamatake

This has been a great topic of talk, I've really enjoyed seeing the different things some members enjoy! Thanks Ty!
Thank you for contributing! I wanted to get to know the community a bit, I had no idea that this many people would participate. I know only one other reefer so I've been lonely :)

Building pretty much anything I can think up. As long as my brain is figuring out how to make something happen I'm stable lol
That is very cool! I replied to a post earlier about my friends' dad making various furniture out of slabs of wood and your first couple pictures definitely take me back. They lived in an old church with a huge chapel area where he'd dry the wood before he used it. I remember accidentally knocking one over once and it having a domino effect on a bunch of others... lol never been so scared in my life.

Clay pigeon shooting - I keep meaning to join the organisation to enter shooting competitions because the others I know don't want to shoot with me no more because I'm to good :( but I just have fun and never worried about my score.
I love shooting trap. If you can't get them to play with you keeping score, try getting them to play Annie Oakley. First person goes, if he hits it, it goes onto the next. If he misses the guy after him can shoot. If #2 gets it, #1 is out and so on. It's a lot of fun!

Fish all around it looks like! Very cool. I made a Leatherman pouch in boy scouts once... lol looks like you do quite a bit more.

Well I work 60 hours a week, married with 3 kids, and I'm a full time student trying to become a mechanical engineer. I'm highly involved in my son's Cub Scouting adventures holding 2 parent leader positions, as well as help out in both of my daughters Girl Scout events. And I'm mentoring a friend's son who needs a positive male figure in his life.

So free time I don't have a lot of. But when I go get some free time I play disc golf, now a days I dabble in guitar playing, shooting guns with my wife, and even though I do it for a living I'm a total CAD junkie so I'm always playing around in a 3D modeler.

I also try to do some car audio installs when possible. More so now a buddy of mine (we use to own a side business doing this work) does the full install and I do sub box design and building.

Wow writing it on paper puts perspective on this. I need a day job. lol

I have a coworker that is pretty serious into disk golf (she travels with a portable... basket? for longer scheduled trips). It sounds like you have a ridiculously full schedule, I can't believe you have time to keep up with this hobby!

I'm a Harley-Davidson mechanic
Nice. I am mechanically illiterate, but I have a couple good buddies that love to ride. I'm just assuming you do, but what kind of bike do you have?

It's tough at times that is for sure.

I've been wanting to get into beekeeping for a few years now! I wanted to this spring but unfortunately I'm spending all my money on my reef tank instead [emoji6][emoji23]
Expense isn't terribly bad if you start small with 2 hives or so. Even cheaper if you can make your own hive components, which I can't [emoji17] not that talented of a woodworker.

SWEET! (literally ;)) I've been trying to get my sister into reefing, but she keeps saying she wants bees! Would definitely be another super rewarding hobby to have I'm sure.

What a waste! Could you imagine the tank you could have with that much money! ;)

Yeah, but you can't drive your tank around SF impressing all the homeless people, though.

My buddy lives out there, he had a joke that in SF there are two classes of people: people who drive around in stretch limos, and people who jump in front of them to get paid.
