Trying Out Dad's Other Hobby. What Does Everyone Else Do For Fun?

[BillFragnormous]

When I'm not playing with my fish tank, i'm 3D printing. When I'm not doing that I'm out Mountain Biking. I have a couple a good tails within 30 minutes of my house :)

Nice to see another Phishy Phoenician :)

I fly RC aircraft/helicopters/drones

I deejay and produce music or ride and work on my motorcycle. But reef keeping is currently my favorite hobby of the three, sadly though deejaying has turned into a 2nd full time job. Hoping to stop deejaying soon and begin coral growing and fish breeding, would love to setup a clown fish breed business someday!

What type of music do you produce? Where can we hear it?

What type of music do you produce? Where can we hear it?

Most of my stuff that I have online is my mixtapes. My remixes I don't put out to the public just because Id rather not have other deejays and producers call it theirs. Sad to say but Ive seen it enough times where Im at the point, where I have a great job, so I just make mostly personal edits and remixes, but did some stuff for Pauly D and Biz Markie when I was a full time deejay in DC.

If your so inclined to listen to my music lol my mixtape site is http://www.hearthis.at/t3ched

Those are my fire eel and pinecone pleco :)

Love them. That pleco is awesome! We have a albino bristlenose pleco and 2, Idk, black ones?? One was in our pond and we had an emergency one day. Our fountain fell over one night and almost all the water drained out so we quickly put straight tap water into the pond and all my koi and goldfish died, except the pleco. We already had the bristlenose and a smaller black placo in our freshwater tank so we put him in there, he loves it. He is King of the tank.

Is that done with smoke? I sat here for a bit trying to figure out what all was going on... I can't

It's a single 30 second exposure taken in a pitch black room with a light absorbing background. I then waved a red LED kids halloween light behind my head (while holding as still as possible) then flashed a blue light on one side of my face and then a red light on the other side of my face. When the shutter closed on the camera that's the image that was created!

No photoshop, just a single exposure with colored flashlights and LED glow sticks

This was my big hobby befor SW. Creating concrete scapes for reptiles and amphibians. My last work.

Very nice, I worked at Bush Gardens, Tampa Bay for over 20 yrs, was involved in every new exhibit and rides for all those yrs, just amazing what can be done with concrete , done some carving, but only repairs, we did everything that you walk on, others did the major carving projects.

That sounds like a cool exsperience for sure. I can imagine how hard this must be on a big scale.
I used to hang out on vertical artisians forum and saw so many extremely talented people. But the guy i guess caught everyones attention was Mike Vernelson. That guys work is just incredible.

Fishing, camping, and guns.

Was very cool, lots of manpower, structure, carving, and the painters, your very good at all three, here is a pick of a silly thing I made to keep controller and power bars in, in my travels have seen many old road markers, many in Jamaica, the sunken pirate town of Port Royal, arrg!!!

"Thank you! That's very fun to hear from someone who has been doing this professionally"

That's cool and a good idea!
I have had plans using concrete to build like a bench or something for the tank.

Painting was the hardest part for me. I tried to find the popular acid stains i've seen alot of people use in the US, but sadly i was never able to find anything similiar in my country.

I do special effects makeup. Kind of like what you would see on The Walking Dead.

Sweet! That's a first on this thread! Do you have any pictures of your work? Maybe not zombies seeing as this is a family oriented site :)

 

[AlyciaMarieee]

I would love to post some photos, but i'm afraid I don't have any pictures that would be suitable to post haha.

Well if you do end up with a few I'm sure we'd all love to see them!

 

[jkapit]

I race RC cars...

 

[brencrazy]

Take rc to real life build a sports truck

My other hobby is long distance shooting, in the 1000yd range. I thought that hobby was expensive, think reef keeping is going to beat it. I like it because it forces me to slow down and focus...sort of like meditation, but for men. :)
