Harley Davidson has used up my hobby time for many years. Before that it was Triumph motorcycles.

Love to travel - but that's getting a mite too expensive these days.
Spend alot of time at the NC Coast, love saltwater fishing, both inshore and offshore.
Love to get the kayaks out in good weather. Enjoy biking - but can't do the 50 mi. jaunts like my 64 y.o. older brother nearby.
Like to mess with the 20 y.o. Jeep I have that doesn't want to die.
Still enjoy hunting (turkey hunted this A.M.)
One day, if the house ever sells and we get to build again, I'll unpack my gunroom and start handloading again.
I could really save some money if I was like a few acquaintances. Their hobby is to sit on the couch and watch ballgames. That's it.

I'd love to fish more. Guns are my newest hobby. Can't work on the truck anymore, with computers and fuel injection and my weakening body. Still read voraciously. Would like to open my own business selling and fixing guns. Unfortunately, I have no money, bad credit, and not nearly enough knowledge. Nice to have a goal though.

Many years ago I had a buddy (deceased for quite awhile now) who had 4 loves in life. They were horses, sailboats, airplanes and drinking. He cycled through them repeatedly. Sell the boat, buy the plane, sell the plane, buy a horse, sell the horse and buy another sailboat. Never quit drinking though. He really couldnt afford any of those hobbies or the drinking but I noticed he always came first before his family. He had a wife that he treated more like a "mentaly challanged daughter". He never took her anywhere and I think he did all the shopping.
One night he rode the horse to a country bar. On the way home the horse threw him and took off. It was a black night and a dark horse. Some unfortuanate guy got off at midnight, was driveing home on a blacktop on his motorcycle. He met the horse the hard way! Screwed him up bigtime besides killing the horse! The next morning my friend was homesteading his house! Very shortly after that he found out he had leukiemia. He got religion but still cashed in shortly. He was about 50. We had been on a few adventures together. His wife? She came out of her shell, learned to drive, got a job and remarried! Just thinking.

I am a big fan of rhubarb. I didn't know it could be used in wine. I need to find some of that.

Tasting good whiskey and collecting belly button lint.
Well let's see. In school I played baseball, then girls, then hunting,then racing, then motorcycles. then in the hospital, then racing at Bonneville [1952], then women, then fast cars, Then Dixie Land music, then more hunting [out of state], then marriage [1960] Three kids later, lots of overtime. then metal detecting, Gold mining, Grandkids, etc. Oh, I forgot, tried to keep 6 bartenders in town employed. Don't do any of that anymore. Just hunt & metal detect. If I catch a grass widow she could out run me if she wanted. Guess that's about it. Sure crammed a lot of living into 80 years.
Been trimming a lot of nose and ear hair lately.

Well Im 21... I love to train at the gym. I also found a new hobby. Guns and shooting them.
Chasing my S&W's and then reloading for them keeps me plenty
enough busy for now. I used to collect coins, Morgan dollars, but
that got too expensive. Also chased carnival glass for awhile because
my grandparents on moms side did and got me hooked. Also loved
to attend farm auctions and bought anything that peaked my interest
at the time. Antiques, redline Hotwheels, Old things, etc....
Now i've sold off most all of that stuff to concentrate on revolvers
that are no longer made. Not enough time or money to chase all the
things i have in the past.
