Other hobbies

[ezman604]

Oh my gosh...you shouldn't have started THIS thread...LOL.
Let's see, present hobbies include airgunning, modifying and tuning airguns, woodworking, fishing (have as much fishing equipment as airgunning), vehicle modding/restoring, metal detecting/treasure hunting, collecting, computer build & repair, oh, and did I mention airgunning???
Collecting...oh man. Let's see, I have an album where I USE to collect stamps, a stash of old currency and coinage, a knife colletion of around 70 pieces, diecast vehicles (mainly University of Tennessee limited editions), building a DVD movie collection and a bunch of collector cards of all types. Matter of fact, any of you know where a fellow might unload about 1/2 million sports and other cards? LOL
I need to find a sports shop or collectible store that needs some stock.
X-Files is another collection I have. Every type of memoribilia you can think of from the series and movie. Statues, action figures, tons of cards and posters. MAN, if I can move all this other stuff, I'd have a heckova bankroll for my airgun collection. HeeHee
Something about the one with the most toys at the end wins???
Happy Shooting!!!!

Inshore saltwater fishing.  That is #1 for me.  Some duck hunting too.

Guitar playing / collecting, shooting, big motocycles (V-Maxes are gone-now have a VTX1800), fly fish for stripers.
And don't ask my age. I'm old enough to know way better!

R/C airplanes, photography, off roading with my Hummer H3, target shooting with powder burners, both smokeless and black powder, fishing & hunting. Competed in indoor archery tournaments and outdoor 3D but had to give it up when I damaged my elbow, oh well tough to get old. Enjoy woodworking and projects around the house. Doing a little traveling to WARM locations during the cold NH winters and sometimes just kicking back and doing nothing.

I read books like someone with OCD washes their hands...only more compulsively. Speaking to a more traditional definition of hobbies....I have been shooting powderburners since I was 4 or 5 and collecting since I was 12. The current powderburner count is somewhere north of 40 and south of 50. I force sounds that approximate traditional Irish music out of a 2 row Irish button accordion (self taught) and play brass instruments (trumpet, trombone tube, baritone, french horn) much more competetntly although I only own a trumpet and baritone.  Airgunning is rapidly becoming a big, big time sink these days. Last week I probably spent at least 8 hours shooting.

Shooting focuses my mind and blocks out pretty much everything else.  A nice chance to clean the slate.  Now, for exercise... mountain bike, road bike, single speed bike.  Riding with people is much more fun than solo.  Shooting, to me, is a pretty solitary activity.

Collecting old cast iron cook wear and beer tankards and mugs.  I use the cast iron but not a beer drinker.  I was given a BB gun when I was in grade school and a 22 RF rifle in 1949. I purchased a 270 Win. big game rifle in 1953 and over the years have gotten more firearms.  I have had a Beeman R-1 .177 Cal pellet rifle for 20 some years but only become interested in pellet guns a few years ago.
