Other Hobby Addictions

[Baldy]

So I was wondering the other day, how many aquarists are like me and have more than one hobby their hoplessly addicted to.

Myself, I'm into rc aircraft. I have 2 fuel powered helicopters with 50" rotorspans, and 3 airplanes ranging from 35" to 74" wingspans, all electric, and one that I've clocked at 210 kph.

On top of that I've been known to spend a few too many hours playing video games :P.

How about you guys?

[ScubaSteve]

Not so much as of late because of my PhD but a sample of my hobby list looks something like:

Gardening/farming
Rebuilding cars
Mountain biking
3D printing/ CNC machining
RC Ducted Jets
Guitar, bass and drums
Electronics
Brewing beer

... And it goes on. This isn't like dabbling here and there. We're talking full on into each.

I like to build and fly aircraft, esp amphib floatplanes. Here is one of my planes (took me 8 years to build it) and a favorite alpine lake destination, Skwawka Lake (only accessible by floatplane).

Video games tops the chart for me. I race 2 nights a week in a competitive online F1 race league. The season lasts 19 weeks with 4 1 weeks breaks so definitely takes up a lot of time when you factor is additional practice time on top of the 1.5 hour race sessions.

Photography is another one, but I have sort of taken a break from it. Would like to get back into it now that I am back into reefing though.

That's awesome! I finished my private license 3 years ago and have hardly flown since. I want to build a challenger II but don't know when time and finances will allow. I guess I have some time yet tho :D

Well, if you have your PPL, you're well on your way. I just wouldn't pick that one to build, though.

I consider flying a gift and a privilege. People just don't know what they are missing. And it is a lot easier to do than most think.

[toxic111]

Add me to the list of a PPL... Though I have't had any stick time in around 5 years... :( I hope to get going again soon though.

Other hobbies seem endless, I hunt, camp & fish. Leaving for a 7 day African hunt in May. Will be my first trip there... That is eating a little of the reef fund, lol.

[xenon]

I am into wakeboarding, wakeskating and wakesurfing.

I just wish I had more time to ride!!!!!

SHHH! don't tell people that secret. Its more fun when you tell them and they're a little in awe.

[strickrick]

Hockey (both watching and playing ice/ball), working with anything stone or rustic wood, home theater and all electronic gadgets, pond (approx 3500 gallons) with many new un-added additions (will be trading a few in the spring/summer), drinking and having fun with my friends (have to list it because its probably more costly than all the others listed combined, lol), cats (three monsters running this place now with the bengal kitten just dominating two nearly 30lb-ers!!!), and I guess I should mention my job (ROV operator). I think the aquarium hobby was what peeked my interest and opened the door to this career.

10707

The Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) - we see these quite frequently and they are very territorial. They will literally attack our ROV (the size of a small minivan). Although according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_wolffish they will only attack humans when defending itself out of the water but I've heard stories from divers stating otherwise!!!

R/C Car racing & R/C plane/heli flying... here's one of the planes:

[Reef Pilot]

R/C Car racing & R/C plane/heli flying... here's one of the planes:
I'm surprised how many of you guys are into R/C. I know that it takes a lot of work and craftsmanship to build those. And have to admire the flying skills, esp when on the ground and the plane is coming toward you...

But having said that, it wouldn't be much of a step to build a real one that you can fly and go places with. And still proudly display your creations, and compete in shows, if that is what you are into.

[Dez]

1. Scuba Diving. Have had my open water for just over a year and have logged about 20 hours under water already.

2. RC Car racing. New to this hobby and it's what taking my time from reeding.

3. Foosball. I play competitively in a league and am going to Portland for a tournament next weekend.

4. Pond. We just built a massive pond in our yard and have fun raising koi. We've had a smaller pond in our front yard for 7 years.

5. Snowboarding. Going on a snowboarding day trip to the mountains on the same weekend that I'm going to Portland for foosball (and fitting in an out of town RC race in between on the same weekend).

6. Traveling. I'm addicted to it. From Dec 1 - Feb 9 (10 weeks), I'll have gone on 12 flights - all pleasure, not business.

All this and family is still #1 on the list. That's why I'm still married and my kids still love me haha. A few of these hobbies I do with my spouse and kids though.

[nrosdal]

Mine is Crossfit. It is the only thing i have ever found that is more addictive then reefing/aquariums.

[Spyd]

Ball hockey has got to be my all-time favourite thing to do as of late. I used to be an avid volleyball player but my back can't handle it anymore. I also enjoy riding our horses but that is more of a seasonal thing. I get bored riding around an arena in circles... I much prefer riding out in the bush.

[Coralgurl]

Love the R/C planes. My dad used to build and fly many years ago. He won a number of awards for his planes at shows in Detroit and was part of a flying club. He still builds the occassional one, but he can't fly them anymore.

I am debating getting into modding my car. For now it would be more esthetics, nothing for performance as I am not mechanically inclined. Lots of folks consider that a hobby.....:lol: I've heard it can become quite addicting, so I've been doing lots of research and trying to decide what I want to do.

We also do a lot of camping in the summer, I love to read when I can find time, hiking, cycling.

[Delphinus]

Well, it also fits in with mountain top (above the tree line) hiking, which I enjoy as well. I just need to become a better photographer so I can share. Usually, I rely on my pax for that, but they sometimes are more consumed with the moment, than taking good pics.

I also rigged up a canoe that can I carry into these alpine lakes. That further enhances the experience. Good for fishing, too. Here's a couple more youtubes.

[lastlight]

that looks like fun! i don't know a thing about planes but would have thought you'd mount the canoe elevated off the supports between the float thingies. to make the plane more evenly weighted?

As for hobbies I'm pretty boring but I do like distance running. Kien and I have run several races together.

[Reef Pilot]

Yeah, on the surface, that would seem to make sense. In reality though, it doesn't work there, because that is a high pressure area in flight, and the airflow that goes back to your tail gets disturbed, which is not good (could be catastrophic, actually).

The area on top of your floats is mostly neutral and has the least drag and effect on airflow. I have tie-up ropes, with one end just sitting on top of the floats, and they stay there (unless I do some unusual maneuvers).

Weight distribution side to side doesn't matter much, as the canoe only weighs 40 lbs. And any imbalance in flight (weight or drag) is compensated for with your ailerons and rudder. I carry up to 300 lbs of fuel in my wings, which has a much greater effect on weight distribution, and even that has minimal effect. With weight, the greater concern always is forward or aft, as that affects your center of gravity, which matters a lot more.

[Pan]

I have 6322 Books :)

[jostafew]

Surprising number of R/C flyers in this thread, myself included! I've been thinning my fleet latley (to fund my last reef build :lol:) but I've currently got a Trex 450 Pro, and four planes including one purpose built to carry my GoPro for aerial videography. All electric.

After that my other hobbies at the moment are photography, autocross, and mountain biking. Sadly this whole work thing is really interfering with my leisure activities!

[Proteus]

Sandwiches.

[Baldy]

some awesome replies guys!! I guess it really doesnt come as much of a surprise to me how many people are into rc as well. its very much a tinkering hobby, much like aquariums are. or maybe i make it a tinkering hobby because thats what i enjoy =P

I do so many things. I can't keep up lol.
I am teaching myself the art of Pysanky, (drawing on eggs)
I have an embroidery sewing machine I like to work with fabric making table cloths, towel sets..You name it. I am trying my hand at making quilts. I make cage liners and houses for my critters. (WOW! since when did I become a big Gurl!? lol)
I read, Finally had to get an Ereader because I have boxes and boxes of books.
I'm about to take up Skidoo-ing. :D
In the summer time...Camping! fishing, boating.
last summer my Dad and I rebuilt his jet boat. I enjoy working with my hands.
I'm also a gamer. although I don't have a lot time to play with the kids and pets but I do like to play when I need down time.




I spent my childhood camping in farmers fields, and numerous other places while My Dad raced formula 1 and quickie rc planes every weekend (even when there was snow on the ground) . He was an active member of the rc clubs here in Calgary. The hours spent in his hobby room while he was building a plane from scratch while Mom read to him. She and Dad also used to race rc cars.
The smell of Hot stuff and mixed epoxy brings those days back. :D

[SanguinesDream]

I have a fish rescue. I have ads in the local papers "please don't flush your fish. Will even pay a small fee" Then I set up tanks in seniors homes, the hospital, anywhere there are folks in need, and maintain them on my dime.

I also rescue feral cats/kittens, rehab and socialize them, spay/neuter them and adopt them out at no cost. I've also rescued two horses from the meat truck, two bearded dragons, two red earred sliders, two gerbils and a fire-bellied toad. At times, I provide a foster home for dog/puppies and I can't even guesstimate how many cats/kittens we've rescued but our feral cat issue no longer exists in our neighborhood.

Ironically, I am an avid hunter of all North American big game, though I don't fish.

I Didn't add shooting because I just recently sold all my shooting stuff. I used o handload for my 223. shot out to 500 yards pretty good! But I had to prioritize my hobbies and unfortunately that one didn't make the list with a wedding coming up.

And I do a lot of automotive repair work ( head gaskets, clutches, ect.)

[BMW Rider]

Woodworking
Motorcycle riding

[tim the toolman]

I do a bit of r/c but not as much as I once did. Also enjoy woodworking, winemaking and dabbling in some of the less common up takes in fish keeping (keeping phyto, pods, bbs breeding, working on ghost shrimp farm for live food as well as rotifer cultures.) currently starting a rebuild project on an older motorcycle as well.

[MMAX]

Nothing better for me than standing in a stream slinging flies for trout. Also enjoy shootout style drag racing, my backyard stream and pond and dh skiing.

[Reef_Geek]

my hobbies include

paying for really expensive pieces of glass (aka photography)

trying to enjoy diving again after turning that hobby into babysitting others (aka teaching scuba)

trying to enjoy aquariums again after turning that into a full time chore (aka marine aquarium aquaculture)

trying to divert discretionary funds away from aquariums and towards travel funds this year

trying to keep up with young kids chasing around a frisbee now that I am approaching middle age (aka C league ultimate)

harassing my dog

I think I am fine within any hobby so long as I don't turn it into a side job... then it becomes 'work'

You nevrr outgrow it. I am 45 and planning out the system for the car i bought. As i tell the wife, there could be worse things to have as a mid life crisis.

My hobies hmm.

Guess automotive would be my biggist, mostly repair, modification and sound.
I own a harley (enough said anout that hobby)
Next would be metal work and wood working, home reno/repairs, and a lirtle bit of everything else.
Getting the shop done so i can set up a paint booth and teach myself to paint auto/motorcycle parts.
Play hockey, coach hockey, and watch hockey.

And probably my biggest onsession, spending money on hobbys.

funny thing is that I'm getting really.tired of driving a vehicle that gets 18mpg highway, so for my next vehicle I'm looking at a prius compact. My biggest dilemma is how I'm going to fit my image dynamics idmax12 in the spare tire well and whether or not the cars electrical system can handle the amps :P

[StirCrazy]

look into the power draw with he heater fan on full, the lights on high beam ect... but stereo off. then figure out the power requirement of your stereo and see if you can upgrade the alternator if you have to. you going to run new wires for the amps so realy you just have to worry about pulling your batteries down.

I have a bit more room as I bought a fusion (42-47mpg) I am looking at using one of the sides of the trunk (behind the wheel well) and making a custom fiberglass box there (spare tire will stay in the car as I might need that). I am trying to maintain as much as my trunk as I can. got to have some place for the hockey gear.

Steve

[burgerchow]

motorcycles, casino, massage, aquarium, r/c cars, boats and planes, home theater, and audiophile 2 channel stereo , and my latest one which is taking up too much of my time is collecting records again.
Just purchased over 600 albums in the last 2 weeks. Some new, but mostly used. Cleaning and sorting them takes a lot of work. Even with the new record cleaning machine I had to buy for $700, still requires about 10 mins per record.
Thats why I just listed my reef tank for sale.

I've owned a TDI Volkswagen for a couple years, I get a hand calculated 65 mpg CDN and I have over 300,000km and I've had to grease my windshield wiper linkage and re crimp the wiring for my trunk lights. I couldn't be happier... the new passet's look very nice way bigger than a prius, better hwy mpg's, and best of all your not driving a Prius! :razz:

Unfortunately the proud charging system is very different from conventional vehicles. The hybrid charging system charges the drive battery and also has a 100 amp 12v charging system for the rest of the vehicle. It might be a good thing if it can handle 100 amps continuous but imnot sure about that.

I built my box behind a wheel well in the cargo area of my blazer and its not too bad for taking up space. Definitely making a fiberglass one next time tho.

If your talking mpg like that then my blazer would get 20% more than I stated. Its been something that has driven me effing crazy with the auto industry in Canada. A few years ago some overpaid marketing person figured out if they use a Canadian gallon (4.54l) instead of a us gallon (3.78l) then all vehicles get a 20% fuel economy boost with nothing else different. That's why 5 years ago or so all vehicles started getting "better" fuel economy. Its so close to false advertising it isn't even funny. No one even uses a Canadian gallon for ANYTHING.

Ok, putting my soapbox away

[whatcaneyedo]

Fixing this thing up to its former glory is my main hobby at the moment. Apart from that I also like to ride motorcycle, SCUBA dive, ski, snowboard and build things out of wood.

No thats what i am actualy getting driving to work and back, that why i bought this it was costing me about 700 bucks a month in diesel.
Ya if it is 100 am continuis then you should be fine. New cars are generaly quieter and the new digital amps are much more efficient.
Does anyone know if they make a spell check plugin for the board for android. Whats worse is my keyboad hides some of the box so i cant see 1/2 of what i am typing lol

I haven't had a chance to use them yet but they seem okay. The jib looks very crisp clean and new while the main has a small rust stain and an area down at the bottom where the twine needs to be re-stitched.

I've done a ton of work so far but there is still much that needs to be done before May when I hope to get it wet. Most of it is actually relatively inexpensive but time consuming which is fortunate because I have the time but not the cash right now. At the moment the boat is stripped and up on blocks awaiting topside and bottom paint.

.. but definitely addicted to all of the above :neutral:

[madchild]

Every hobby I do I get addicted to until I am bored of it. I never quit the hobby, just don't go "balls out" so to speak.

Reefing is the latest in a very long list that has included;

Radio Controlled - started with cars, but quickly went to airplanes, boats, helicopters, and rock crawlers. Electric and nitro

Firearms - pistols, shotguns, long guns, assault rifles... Sold off most of them save a few of my favorites

Knives - have over 100

Flashlights - have over 50

Off roading - broke lots of stuff in mud

Motorcycles - current bike is Husqvarna 610 supermoto

Computers - custom built and modified cases. Made one that looked like a turbofan aircraft engine

Travel - Been all over the place. Love seeing new places and meeting new people

Formula One - Been to 6 races: Montreal (2), Indianapolis, Spa (Belgium), Monza (Italy), and Suzuka (Japan) - I am also an avid fan and have been following it religiously since 1991

There more, but these are the most recent.....
