Other hobbies and interests??
« on: February 26, 2008, 05:11:15 AM »
I am heading to Florida here in a couple of weeks for some drag racing at Bradenton Motorsports Park. I am SO glad to see warmer weather on the horizon. This got me to thinking (yes, I know I shouldn't subject myself to such strain) and I was wondering what other hobbies all you folks have. As for me, I also enjoy playing guitar, fishing and drinking some barley pop when I am not airgunning or drag racing.

Well, I'm into airgunning-- wait, did you mean other than airgunning? LOL!

But also I play a little bit of old-time music on guitar, some banjo, a little ukulele (what other kind is there? :~). And in the last 6-8 months, my brother and a buddy of ours have gotten me back interested in motorcycling after 20 years away from it, though it's been mostly too cold to ride this winter for me. And I don't mind a good beer now and again too.

Boating, fishing, hiking, gardening, bowhunting, bird watching, and of course doing whatever I can to keep my wife happy  :)

Motorcycling is probably my favorite hobby...on my second bike, a HD Nightrain.  I love brewing beer.  I am also a hopeless addict to first person shooter video games.

Jason,

Would you be so kind as to enlighten me as to what "radiation science" is? I have not heard that term before.

I like to shoot, read airgun forums, and work on my airguns.  Somewhere in there I also spend time with my family and eat a whole lot...generally whatever I can BBQ while I am sitting in the yard shooting airguns is my favorite meal:)

At least I can see your co-rider is in the right frame of mind.....  "Roll Tide!"  Beats the heck out of go Razorbacks.  Let her know I like her shirt shown in your photobucket pics under the motorcycle folder.

My biggest draw is saltwater fishing and building custom fishing rods. Summer and winter are more reserved for airgunning. This year has been all mixed up it's been 80 here and tomorrow or thursdays low is mid 30's. Makes fishing tough so been shooting more. I think had it not been for this forum I would not be into airgunning as much. I don't have any real friend outside of work so no one to shoot with. I really enjoy the sport just wish I could find more people to with and shot the s**t with. :)
