Computer Gamer, Drone Flyer, Guitar player, Beer Brewer, and Drinker.
 
I do a lot of Saltwater Fishing, Metal Detecting, and Gaming in my spare time. Right now I'm totally addicted to Destiny 2 :D

My other major hobby/commitment is physique/body building. I spend roughly 14-16 hours a week in a gym, and at this point its more of a lifestyle than a hobby. My eating choices, late night weekend activity choices, etc. all revolve around the macros! But since I don't compete I still like to think of it as a hobby! I've also gotten a bit more into guns lately with my father-in-law and grandfather-in-law being avid enthusiast and collectors.
 
Besides boating and SCUBA I am an inventor. I also dabble in metal art and I like to build anything Steam Punk





 
Paul, love the fish lamps. One of those would be perfect on the shelf over my tank. Where do you sell them? Good luck with the move, you're moving East... Suffolk County?
Besides this hobby I like surf fishing and I dabble in Audio/Video and home theater.
 
I play music. Currently I play sax for the local community band. I also play bass guitar, but that is limited to jam sessions right now.
I like to participate in short distance triathlons so I spend a fair bit of time running and cycling.
We have two dogs, so I spend time working with them. One is a mutt with a bad back, the other is a border collie. The BC is my jogging partner and I work more with him on obedience and stuff. Wish my back yard was bigger so we could play Frisbee. The one with the bad back is limited and can only do so much.

This is Angus, my BC

Not sure is you can call it a hobby, but we tend to pick up and rehome strays. In the past 12 months we did 3 cats and a dog.

This is Angus, Ernie (the black and white) and a stray we picked up and rehomed last year.

I have a Subaru wrx that has been my money pit (<3) for the past 7 years. This was my daily driver (50+ miles/day) since it had 6 miles on the odometer. I recently switched to working from home, so I spend hardly any time driving at all.

To this point, I've mostly done suspension and brake mods, but have a few power mods installed. Will also be redoing essentially the entire intake tract in December; potentially going big turbo at the same time. After that, I am considering a forged engine as preventative medicine (I'm at 155k+ miles) along with replacing the original clutch. Once that's complete, I'm calling the car done and doing maintenance only. Should leave much more room for fish in my life... :)
 
I like to collect rare vinyl records (first editions of 50-60s jazz, beatles, blues, punk rock, Jack White and anything else cool) and really like audiophile music equipment. I coach softball pretty much every day when snow is not on the ground - I have four daughters. I am also into old cars - flathead era to about 1972 - and have several. The mountains here in Colorado are amazing and I like to hike and walk them.

Jd371, Thank you. The Steam Punk is listed on Etsy. I am moving to Suffolk. Baiting Hollow, exit 71 on the LIE and north to the Sound.

I camp, golf, bowl (average was 207), and then I bought a '99 jeep Cherokee. That rusted beast is needier than my 4 year old. I also bake. Won a couple small baking contests and I'm starting to make a little money off it. Wish I had a better picture of thewolf cake. He actually had smoke coming out his mouth. That was Halloween last year. Chocolate espresso cake with peanut butter frosting.

Paulbsteampunk. What else! :D

My Hobby that takes up my entire summer is boating. Here I am discussing politics with the amphipods on my anchor line.



I also like taking care of my Grand Daughter. (she is now 5 so I did a good job)



And of course, I like traveling to far off places in one of these to dive and explore. This is Bora Bora in Tahiti.

 
I play bass as my other hobby. I like to play along with my favorite music as well as come up with my own bass lines. Here are my non reef tank prized possessions.
