Music, slowly writing a business plan for a business endeavour of mine. Just getting into auto rallying, considering taking up boxing.

I'll just list the major hobbies I have. I dabble in lots of pursuits that haven't reached full hobby status yet.

Woodworking (almost as expensive as reefkeeping)
Blacksmithing (though not so much as of late)
Motorcycling, 1994 BMW R1100RS (borderline obsession and also close competion for the bank breaker)
Reefkeeping (obviously)

Another hobby?? Two comments come to mind:

"She's a harsh mistress, reefkeeping! She don't take well to competition, you see... Arrhh! "

and:

"You guys don't have kids, do you?"

I find that my family (including 3 boys) pretty much takes up all my other time and money.
