There are only 2 things in my life that I feel any serious passion for.
The application of a very advanced neuroscience theory and things related to outer space. Especially the design and manufacture of new orbital class rocket technologies. Probably sounds pretty odd, but I'm an odd person. |

I am passionate about arming Americans to resist future government tyranny. I thank God for the opportunity as I drive to and from my job. Sometimes I do it for free.
I'm a true believer. |

Cygnus-Wall-Small by Colo CJ, on FlickrThen, just regular photography. Always have a camera on me. I really enjoy capturing, and what it takes to capture, slices of time that many never get to experience.  Emerald-Lake-3 by Colo CJ, on Flickr Emerald-Lake-4 by Colo CJ, on Flickr Emerald-Lake-5 by Colo CJ, on FlickrOverall though, I just like learning. If I'm not learning a new skill, I get bored very easily. So, I basically am obsessive compulsive until I master, or at least, gain competence in the skill I am trying to learn at the time. |

Tracking lions is #1!! Keeps my brain and body fully stimulated… I think pursuit is in my DNA, once I can’t do that, I might as well die.
I live for hunting season, both guiding and hunting. But PRS and NRL 22 are close seconds. I listen to books on audible about subjects that interest me, so long as my lady isn’t in the truck yapping my ear off… |

Dogs.
Their ancestors have been around 20 million years longer than us. I learn something new from them every day. And I'm a life time multiple dog owner. Classical music. Same reason, our ancestors perfected the music hundreds of years ago. Food. We're all wired for it. I'm passionate about the next meal that won't be boring and won't kill me in long term. Exercise. I like to reshape my body into something that serves me right. Technology. I'm specifically interested in latest finding in physics and medicine. Fighting. I will fight to the end to protect my loved ones, so I practice. |

Mostly waterfowl hunting, and training my lab.
Then there's guns, and shooting, and fishing. Then there's fishing and traveling with my wife. I get the most joy of seeing my wife catch more, and bigger fish than me. I have no kids, so nothing there. |

I’m a touring roadie sound guy. I specialize in a certain live sound speaker system (brand) which is regarded as one of the three big industry standard names. According to the manufacturer I’m one of 9 certified “experts” in North America with this system. I do design work, tour and do one offs for very large concerts, events, festivals, etc. This is my dream job and absolutely love it. It honestly feels like I’ve tricked people to give me lots of money for doing a hobby. I don’t go to work, I just wake up to go have fun. The stories and experiences I’ve had are out of this world and priceless to me.
It’s weird that my hobby is “work”. My down time is mostly spent with friends, family, my new found passion of BJJ, wrenching on my problematic but insanely fun BMW, and shooting. I travel so much for work that my down time is mostly spent where I live. |

Mostly everything.
I have a certain confluence of childhood induced factors which have crafted an ADHD personality that is either completely passionate about things, or could give a shit. This creates an environment where I'm diving head first into new subjects while putting off the day-to-day stuff. My specialty, which has simultaneously created amazing opportunity for me yet left me with crippling anxiety is learning new subjects. I've gotten really well known for being able to quickly establish a comprehensive view on new things. I just love learning and arguing. They are my two favorite things. |

I've never had a job I liked, because there has never been a moment where I wouldn't rather be doing something interesting.
For hobbies, I have a bunch, bit the ones I am most into are shooting, ham radio, photography, and driving trails in the jeep. Unfortunately these are all expensive and time consuming hobbies, and inflation is making that worse every day. I would probably have a lot more in the bank if I didn't have so many different hobbies and interests. But I gonthrough phases where I am really intensely interested in something and then I get bored because I don't have the time or money to achieve this or that next level goal so I shift focus back to another hobby and the cycle repeats. |

I'm still not an expert but I play/practice every day now since I retired. I am a bit upset that it's taken me decades to get here but it kept getting pushed aside for wives & kids & the Job.

RC stuff, primarily. Fixed wing for almost 30 years and multirotors/helis for for over 10. It's the one thing I can brag about because I'm a damn good pilot
At my last club people I barely knew would walk up and hand me a transmitter because they knew I could fly anything and make it look good. I truly enjoy making people smile with my skills (giggity). I've been deploying so much I haven't been able to fly that much in the last few years though, so my skills have probably taken a dump. I was never much of a balsa builder but I like experimenting with foamboard. |

Quoted: I want to be constantly learning about something. What would you say your specialty is? I'm doing a job that pays well, but I'm not passionate about it...I do enjoy the environment and most of the people. Best aspect is I flex my own hours so can work early, get out early, or flex extra hours and take a long weekend. And Zero Stress. Aside from guns, knives, tactical gear/taking classes, training, and enjoying some good forum discussions on post-SHTF, apocalyptic-world fantasy shit, I do have other hobbies. The wife and I enjoy backpacking. She recently set up her own roof-top tent for camping and visiting various places for both hiking and brewery visits. We want to eventually brew beer...for now, it's just trying new beer and new places. We're planning a boondocking trip to Ocala National Forest to paddleboard several of the springs over spring break. We took up country swing and I tolerate my wife's love of country music and concerts. We work out 5-6 days a week together. It's less a passion and more of a drive to enjoy our quality of life. I'm not a gourmet cook, but we do have a pretty good time cooking up a variety of tasty but healthy meals. We enjoy visits to the Keys, USVI and planning other Caribbean island visits for snorkeling. Other hobbies that we just haven't had time for: mountain biking and kayaking. My wife really wants to write books, but she's working on her doctorate, working as a graduate research assistant, and taking both a teaching-coaching and leadership endorsement; plus, she's tempted to teach online college classes...oh, and she works full time too. She's too busy for too many "other hobbies" We're just too active and busy now, but I want to raise chickens and garden...when my wife isn't too busy, she grows a variety of peppers and makes some excellent jams and hot sauces!

Rewarding, like in a profession?
I actually like what i do. I'm an industrial electrician. The most enjoyable facets are control circuitry and building control panels. Most of that time is spent diagnosing issues. It is usually something different almost every time. Each is like a new puzzle to solve. When i was younger, i actually enjoyed two other jobs. One was rough carpentry..framing, etc. Really physical, but when you walked away everyday, something showed for it. I hated finish carpenrty. Too fiddly for me. The other was a side job running a track loader for land clearing. Landowners were usually blown away when they checked progress and were more than happy to come off a check for your work. That work can be dangerous though. No daydreaming. Doing a job in one area also netted a lot of other work from neighbors who'd seen results on the initial job. Personal? Currently, it is fishing and little boats. In Oct, i took two different trips to the gulf. I was happy as a clam push polling my new 16' Gheenoe though shallow sea grass for reds and specs. Also saw a freaking hammerhead that was almost as long as my boat. Wish i was there now.   Attached FileLocally, in that same vein...just drop me in for a kayak creek float to chase Spotted bass and I'm giddy-city. Pack a lunch and a few beers and I'm good all day. .  Attached FileUsed to really enjoy backpacking, but Father Time wrecks me now. Nothing like waking under a hammock tarp on a cool morning. Nothing. |

I like to challenge myself at work. If you take on a slightly bigger project each time, it tests you, and it's tough, but enjoyable to work through it.
I have to call a supplier today to make sure they can work with my screw up from last week......otherwise I have to redo 2 days of work.....so I'm hoping they can roll with it. Outside of work, I got nothing really. I lost interest in most of my hobbies in my 20's. |

I like to cook. I wouldn't want to do it as a profession though. I think that would take the joy out of it.
I do a bit of writing, which I'll never make money from. I love muscle cars. I did own one once. Maybe I will again someday. However mostly I would say simply the outdoors. I love nature. I dabble in nature and landscape photography. I like to go hiking. The girlfriend and will often just take long drives and explore new areas. |
