What are your hobbies besides riding...

[Diggers1300]

... and how (if so) have you incorporated riding into it?

I'm an avid fly fisherman who loves to camp, kayak and ride. Not necessarily in that order. Approaching the mid-60s in age, I'm still able to get in and out of a kayak as well as a sleeping bag on the floor of a tent. I used to be a computer nerd but can't do much riding while sitting behind a keyboard. Ran a RadioShack for over 20 years and now retired and enjoying life. Still work a part time job to pay for all my "toys".

How about you?

Love that trailer setup.

 

[Diggers1300]

Thanks! It has allowed me to fish in some further away places with the kayak. I've really enjoyed it. I could pull it behind the truck but where's the fun in that?

Besides riding? Besides riding? What else is there?

Well, there's my home theater, with a 10' diag. image, and 2,100 watts and 7.2 channels of audio:

Besides riding? There's not too much. That's why I try to incorporate all four (riding, kayaking, fishing, and camping) together.

Like your home theater setup, BTW. My screen is not as big. 75" OLED with 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos setup.

Cowboy action shooting!

I live in a state with snow and salt on the roads in the winter. So, the bikes get parked and the snowmobiles are my winter ride.



I also collect and repair old Coleman camping lanterns and stoves. I have over 400 of them. The oldest is from 1910 and it still runs like new.

I build custom glass aquariums. I also have an A&P license and work on aircraft on the weekends as a hobby.

Danke! I made a few improvements since I made the system page: https://fineelectricco.com/System.html

For example, I replaced the B&K AVP-4090 pre/pro and the Sony SDP-E800 with a Fosgate FAP-T1+ :



Also, I replaced the DirecTV DVR with a hi-def FIOS DVR, and I lowered the image and moved the center speaker from below it to above it.

Maintenance on the bikes.

 

[ibike2havefun]

Bicycle touring
Woodworking
Golf
Kayaking
Occasional camping

Having no moto to ride or spend money on gives me more time and cash for the other distractions.

 

[Mellow]

Dele..... oh.. nevermind...

 

[mello dude]

I guess playing chess and poker are my other addictions, moreso in winter.

Very nice!

Was a fitter welder for about ten years and like doing it still, got into airbrushing but am ok at that, brushed into leather work and still working on that. Discovered after retirement I can get the wife ticked off without even trying, So I did discover my best career in life. Does napping count?

I could see myself on a snowmobile. But alas, dang Texas winters. Wait... I can almost ride year round. Never mind.

Sure does! I don't care what anyone says.

Cowboy action shooting!

Never seen an old guy "Grabber" at a gun range. I would guess for picking up brass but brass doesn't eject out of a revolver. What's that for Ted?

Not so much of a hobby anymore but I do have a 125g saltwater tank.

When shooting a cowboy match, you use 2 revolvers, a shotgun, and a lever gun. Those lever guns throw brass everywhere so the old guy grabber makes it a lot easier to recover the brass. And yes, since we shoot a lot, we all reload.
