Hobbies seem to come and go for me. I've road a bike for a while, did R/C planes since I was a kid, but fell out of that about 10 years ago when everything started going to battery power, and micro indoor flyers. I do love to fish, but don't have much time in the summer.

I've always had a tank of some sort since I was about 8, so about 40 years, and about 10 of that, actual reefing. I don't think of it as a hobby, but a way of life, since my entire life revolves around my tank.
 
Sailing (boat is for sale)
Off-roading (working on periodic daily driving my '72 Bronco again)
Golfing (I'm turrible)
PC gaming (reflexes are going to craps as in nearing 50)
Good whiskey
Good cigars
Photography (inherited habit: older 35mm and ancient DSLR)
 
Weather has sucked for me but tonight is clear... Of course that means the moon is out!
my 3 year old asked to take the telescope out. The first time he's looked through it. Unfortunately a full moon but he was amazed. Looked in the scoped then looked at the mon then back in the scope.
I really need to learn to align properly for the goto to work.
I used to get the alignment pretty close manually but now struggle with the polar scoped installed

I have a 99 Nissan Pathfinder we used to take camping a few times a year.
Closets I get to games now are on my cell phone or the RC flight sim
I have Canon 60D, 6D, Pentax AE Program 1 (film) and a few L glass. Not done a lot of photography much the last few years.
 
Let's see.. besides reefing:
Photography
Painting/ceramics/crochet
Plants (Orchids obviously, but my house is quite the rainforest inside and out)
Animals! (2 dogs, 3 birds, ball python, & 12 chickens)
Firearms
Motorcycles
Metal \m/

Its been a busy few weeks for me since I was on vacation from work... I recently took my Bronco out for the first time for a day of wheeling in over a year. It needs a TON of work, but it was fun.

Then I made the decision to sell my boat. Kinda hard, but I don't have the time or the interest as I used to 10 years ago, anymore. I'll buy another again, at some point but I'm gonna miss it. Plus this last break our another thousand round broke my constitution a bit. Also, my pops is too old to be on the water anymore. It was fun to take it out one last time.

DSLR wise I'm using a ancient Nikon D600 with a manual adapter ring for all of my ancient tamron and nikkormat lenses. I also have a nikon coolpix s100 point and shoot. Like I said, ancient gear, lol.

I miss my guns. I gave them up when I joined the army. then the gov made it a PITA to keep them.Australia still has guns, just harder to keep.

Dude I'm in love with old school broncos like that. So lucky.

I had a 2015 subaru STI that I just recently sold and put into a savings. I'm planning on getting the new Bronco within a year hopefully. Been looking at the wildtrak.
