[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Aside from shooting and possibly work, what is your favorite past time/hobby?

After talking to a couple arfcomers over email, I came to find we had little in common aside from shooting. Found it kind of funny and was just curious.

For me, personally, it's computers and video games.

ps. just for the hell of it, and to make your day, here is a nice site to make you laugh: www.frenzy.com/~jester/racecar.html
(it will only take 1 minute of your time and it isn't one of those ones that scares you).

things with motors.
I like working on my motorcycle and truck. I plan on getting a nice quick car sometime next year.

For some reason I just like tinkering with stuff. I fix my friends cars for free and always fix stuff around the house.

Aside from firearms?
Working on space shuttle orbiters, working on fighters and bombers (-22's, -117's, and B-2s and F-18's)...also surfing, although the pacific is too damn cold sometimes. I love albacore fishing out of San Diego and into mexican waters, though I do miss yellowfin and swordfishing from the east FL coast. I also love crotch rockets and real muscle cars (at least 350 c.i.d. with no smog BS), and that is a weird combination

Apart from here, I hang out at DSLReports.com. Slowly adding 2A realism to a bunch of nerds that are seeing the light on firearms and what liberties we left..

Building and overclocking PCs, and PC games (driving and FPS types, offline and online).

PC games - C&C for years, now Dawn of War.

The new car - it's nearly five months old and I'm busying modifying it.

Camping - I love tent camping up in the desert between Barstow and Victorville. I take the wife, dog, and a bunch of guns up there and have fun.

I'm also a pretty avid photographer with three Olympus 35mm cameras - OM1, OM2, and an OM4T. I'm busy looking for a 20 year old OM3 to complete the collection. I've got two beautiful Olympus digitals including an E-10. I also have a few other digitals including a Nikon and a Canon Elph.

Heh, C&C was fun, too bad the newer ones just aren't as great as the older ones. I used to be a Tesla Coil whore

I will always be a RPG nut. RTS RPGs get me the most, but just about anything where tactics to fight or strategy to trick out units are my favorite. I also LOVE the Half-life and Medal of Honor games.

Tried picking up guitars, don't have the patience to sit down and learn. Maybe if I ever get enough time I will try again, but I always seem so rushed lately.

Wish I had the money to upgrade my computer, but money is short on supply as of late. When the fiancee goes back to school, that should free up quite a bit and I can hopefully upgrade.

I collect old, and now obscure, late '60s and early '70s imports. I have show cars, rally/tour cars, repli-cars and race cars.

In no particular order:

Brewing Beer and Mead.

Drinking Beer and Mead.

BBQ. The Weber Smokey Mountain Rocks!

Driving and working on my Corvette.

Using my digital SLR, even though I end up deleting 30-40% of the pics I take, and then Post Processing only about 5% of the ones I keep... I have a backlog of about 15,000 pictures I need to process..

Writing software.

Surfing the web for new toys (and guns) to buy.

Washing and waxing the cars and truck. It's like 2.5 hours on each of complete focus, nothing else is a concern, except music and a beer or four.

PCs were a favorite pastime, but I've gotten a little jaded over the years...

I pretend to be a journalist online and in print (for a local PC magazine), so I have a chance to play with the latest and greatest... although I still have to shell out for CPUs.

I have all of these parts laying around without enough CPUs to build them into complete PCs...

I wonder if others feel similarly about their AR15 parts.

I finally got off my butt and bought a single shot lower, although I'd like to get my hands on either the Vulcan or Fab10. Anyone have one they'd like to trade for PC stuff??? LOL
