What Other Hobbies do you have?

[Flash]

Keep It clean please as I know where some of you will go.... DOUG lol!... but I am just currious!

Before I got into saltwater, I was majorly into reptiles. I had about 20 snakes corns and ball pythons, a few different geckos, an asian water dragon and a few chameleons... but through the past 8 years I am down to my Gecko collection. I have a few different types of rhacodactylus geckos (cresteds, chahoua and a crested/sarasinorum hybryd) I have fallen inlove with these little guys have have decided to try and breed a couple. If you don't know about these geckos, you should google them! they are awesome, fast and stick to almost anything!

besides my reptiles, I play hockey, ice and ball at competitive levels which virtually allows me no down time!

what do the rest of you do?

[BMahura]

I snowmobile every chance I get during the winter months and during the other months I'm busy coaching football. Other then those photography and saltwater fish are my other hobbies

[Aquattro]

Border Collies :) Agility, flyball, stock work.

[Flash]

i always thought about putting my one collie cross into fly ball... but he doens't care for other dogs much!

You'd probably get away with it anyway. Practice has the dogs in crates unless they're running, and when they're running, they don't think much about anything else. My boy and another dog on the team hate each other, but when running, they ignore each other almost completely.

[Aquattro]

I could connect you with a good team in Edmonton as well, they'd help you manage the issue.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

From late April to October, I tend to spend a lot of my free time in the backyard. Grow lots of fresh veggies, fruits, berries, and herbs for my family. Never was into gardening until Felicia was born. She loves to go into the back and help her Dad and she loves her fresh produce so that's my "warm" weather hobby. This spring, when it finally stops raining, I'll be building a big greenhouse (12' x 8' x 10' tall).

[Aquattro]

Anthony, won't that cut into your deck area?? :razz:

[jorjef]

Collecting Hot Wheels, or as my wife calls them "dinky toys" Collecting watch's then dirty looks from the wife when "another one!!" shows up. Collecting corals... I'm weak, 16 mini maxi's... and counting:redface:. I think I have a collecting bug...Paper money, bottle openers, Inuit art are a few of the ones from the past....

[Flash]

jorjef that's awesome! my dad collect canadian nickels the old one 1945 and earlier! i've always wanted a mini-max! no idea where i would put it.. but i'd love one... maybe in my new frag tank!

[jorjef]

God if I got into coins I would be in for a long ride. Just WAY too many!! lol

[Abe]

Other then the saltwater hobby, I am into Flight simulators, I have a room specially for my flight sim computer aadn controls :). Also, my wife and I have different type of finch birds. We breed few of them as well :). we do the planting veggies in the backyard as well.

[Flash]

OMG ABE! you would get along perfectly with my co-worker Art... all he talks about is flight sims.. all he does at home is flight sims... he's nuts about them!

[Flash]

God if I got into coins I would be in for a long ride. Just WAY too many!! lol

they are my dad's thing... I spent many weekends at auctions trying to get him a few nice ones for his birthday that just passed... it's funny when you think you pay $4 for $.05 lol

[Douglas]

[Proteus]

Hunting fishing and gardening

[reefgirl189]

I'm into my redbone hounds. I have two, one in the states doing competitive showing ATM. He's a multi champion. Getting another pup this summer hopefully. I like going hunting with the bf but we usually can't because of childcare.

I also used to be very into reptiles, I had about 45 ball pythons and cornsnakes at one point. I sold them all shortly after my son was born and we moved. I even bred them and got an Albino het pied once (to anyone who understands ball pythons and genetics).

I also do wine making a few times a year and this spring I'm planting a garden (second time ever). Other that that I really like decorating and renovating. I'm thinking of buying and flipping a few houses in the next few years for fun.

It always seems to me like I never have enough time for all my hobbies.

[PoonTang]

Hunting, Hockey, Scuba Diving, Gold Mining.

[Bblinks]

Does taking my kids to Costco count? :mrgreen: just kidding.

[Flash]

my bro does track day out at the mission track for sport bikes. what do you ride?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Anthony, won't that cut into your deck area?? :razz:

Nope. Every morning during the late summer till late fall, Felicia and I go out, pick some fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries to enjoy with our breakfast out on the deck:biggrin:

[Bblinks]

I got a 06 600RR that has lot of add ons but I don't really like using that for track. My buddy has a track R6 that I borrow every time I am out there. He is in the advanced group, and I am only an intermediate.:redface:

[Flash]

my bro rides his custom 954 on the street and a 929 on the track! that guy is fearless I tell ya, but we're a racing family so I can understand it. I grew up in motorcross, dad ran 1/4 mile top fule drag bikes at mission! and intermeddiate is better then novice! i love going to the races days here and watching guys in brand new gear with brand new bikes cat walk off the line into to gravel/wood fence! I go for the crashes! working Corner 8 is my fav... all the good crashes happen in 2,6 and 8! lol!

[Snappy]

Scuba diving, Coral photography & ID, golf (I suck at it), music, coin collecting.

[Flash]

hey snappy, have any old nickels?! lmao!!

[tim the toolman]

Golf as often as I can. Woodworking from time to time. Guitar when I feel inspired. And as I am a contractor I tend to find myself helping friends with home renos tank builds etc. And making my own wine.

just got back into remote control cars and it has been a blast but i have a funny feeling this hobby could be worse than reef keeping on the pocket book:redface:

[whatcaneyedo]

SCUBA diving, skiing/snowboarding and this

Especially in 1/5 scale! Although it is getting cheaper, I knew a machinest who had to make all his own replacement parts in the past. I am kinda interested in the new brushless 1/5 buggies but I'm not going to tell the wife that just yet.

[RDNanoGuy]

Yes it's true, RC is a very expensive hobby! If its radio controlled I probably have it!

Currently I race in the 1/8 nitro buggy and 1/8 nitro trigger classes. I race X-Ray brand cars from Slovakia exclusively. They are the Swiss watches of the RC car world. A typical racing chassis from them runs around $750.00. Add a $500.00 racing .21 engine and pipe and electronics and a running car runs about $2000.00!

Then there's the helicopters which are even worse! My Century gas 'copter is worth around $4500.00. I could buy alot of really nice corals and fish for that! Lol.

[Mike-fish]

so
rc helicopters
"G""HO" scale trains
cars
kayaking
fishing
sailing

[Cade]

Prospecting around my 400+ acre 9 cell placer gold claim!! :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Thank-you! I just showed this post to my wife to prove that $640 for a Savage Flux HP is a great deal. I just do the upgrades over time so she doesn't know how much these cars really cost in the end.:razz: I'm just a basher myself and have never even been to a local track.

[whatcaneyedo]

Polaris Victory 07 Vegas

[burgerchow]

Race rc cars, rc boats, ride my hogs, audiophile stereo systems ( you want crazy expensive, try $1000 for just a pair of speaker Cables, and 10 k speakers)
Used to be into offshore speedboats, but gas and moorage in Vancouver getting way too expensive. Most expensive hobby though is gambling. Lol

Going to guess that you have a claim somewhere in the Leech area. Very nice stuff, I have owned 2 claims there in the past plus Loss Creek and the Sombrio. Have a few claims left in the interior but not nearly as many as in the past.

[Delphinus]

Mountain biking (XC and DH) for me.. sailing and boating .. the usual summer bursts of stuff (camping hiking kayaking windsurfing etc. for about 2-3 weeks or so during non-winter months :lol:)

And .. as cliche as it sounds .. spending time with the mini monsters that apparently are my offspring. My oldest is about to turn 7 this month and it's neat that we're sharing some hobbies now - we're restoring my old Radio Flyer wagon together - thing must be pretty close to 40 years old (the wagon not the kid) and he's on my case every evening: "C'mon dad let's work on the wagon!!" ... I'm hoping we can progress up to cars next :lol: "C'mon dad let's work on the 911!!" (a guy can dream right??)

[gregzz4]

Ya, I wish the old man and I could have worked on some of his jalopies ....
'60 Morris Minor, '55 Chev 5 window P/U, '64 Impala, '70 Chevelle, '56 Beetle

Sadly, they all went away before I was old enough to lay claim
