I'm particularly fond of Saleens...so much so that my youngest daughter is Rebekah Saleen.
Aside from S&W I'm into music. I teach music, I'm a music minister...I mean, most people say they love music, and I can understand and relate...but to do it professionally and still love it! If you love music, imagine that love multiplied beyond what you can imagine--THAT is my life.
I feel bad for people with normal jobs. You will retire and have hobbies still (and that's good) But I can't imagine a CEO or an accountant or a cop or factory worker retiring and then still doing that job in their spare time just for the sheer joy of it until the day they die. I love that I do something that while I love so much will also bring other people joy and make their lives better-entertainment, healing, skills...I love what I do.
I also read, cook, fish, about to take up some gardening, play in the garage, do mom stuff...I like to try new things, take road trips.
I enjoy my pets. Cats and rats.

Besides guns? More guns. Airguns and airgun-smithing, modification. I have a couple big bore air rifles that are pretty fun.

My 1970 Chevy Nova
Music, I guess. I was never very musical despite coming from a musical family, and in retirement I am trying to make up for lost time. Scattered about the house are a number of instruments -- a nice Gretsch, a low-end Fender P-Bass, a decent Alesis drum box and some non-electric instruments that I need to repair: a late 19th-century parlor organ that needs some new reeds and a bellows repair, a small harpsichord that I built from a kit in 1975 and which needs some new strings and jacks, and so forth. Friday UPS is supposed to bring me a Yamaha keyboard I just ordered. I have a few songs knocking around in my head, and I'd like to get to the point of actually performing what I can hear in my mind.
Photography was a hobby for a while but submerged over the last few years. I kind of have the feeling it may crawl out again once I work up the nerve to divert some gun money to a good high-end DSLR. I experiment with infrared photography from time to time, and since most digital cameras see a little into the infrared, a visually opaque filter that lets long wavelengths through will produce some interesting images. I like B&W infrared photos a lot more than I like false-color photos, so I am big on the white foliage/black sky school of nature photography. There are conversion companies that will fix a stock digital camera to make it function far more effectively in the IR spectrum. I'm not sure if I'm enough of an IR nut to go that far, but the possibility exists and I find myself reflecting on it from time to time. So who knows?
It's fascinating to see where the rest of the forum members spend their time and hobby money. What an interesting bunch of people hang out here!

My other love is golf but I have a Mustang too.
An 05 GT, first year of the retro style and only year for that color, Metallic Mineral Gray. It was the 10th 05 GT sold in the city of Memphis, thankfully I got the extended warranty.
