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.

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!!!

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.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Surprising number of R/C flyers in this thread, myself included! I've been thinning my fleet latley (to fund my last reef build ) 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!
