What other hobbies do you guys and gals have?


Recommended Posts

Say hello to my little friends :P

Sweet , Love the M1 Carbine, That's going to be my next one. My buddy that I shoot with has an Iver Johnson M1 Carbine and I make him take it all the time, and like the Springfield Armory model 1911

It's good to see other M1 Carbines and Garands! I too collect military surplus rifles. Mostly WWII. I love the little carbines, fun to shoot with alot of history!

Here are mine from left to right: M44 Mosin Carbine, Remington 1903-A3, Saginaw S'G' M1 Carbine, Inland M1 Carbine, Springfield M1 Garand, M91/31 Mosin, M16A1 Clone. The AR is a little out of place, but I love those retro black rifles.

My other major hobby is flight sims. I have a ok setup with a homemade "pit" made out of pvc piping. It is simple, but much more immersive than just a joystick on the desk.

I also enjoy mountain biking, RC stuff, astronomy, PACKERS football, and Tigers Baseball!!

I'm jealous of those with such disposable income. I can't afford to feed my AR-15, and I have no where to shoot my Mosin. A handgun for home defense/CCW would be nice as well...

Model rocketry, fishing, and reading military history. I also help out as an adult leader for my son's Boy Scout troop, which means I camp at least one weekend a month, year round. So we have quite a collection of tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, etc. :)

Golf, whenever I can find someone who wants to play

Fishing, although I hate freezing my butt off for a few perch through the ice

African Cichlids got 2 tanks 1 20 gal with some NeoLamprologus multifasciatus (Multies) facinating little buggers

my latest addictions other than plastic are. Gran Turismo 5 on the playstation, and photography.

I am seriously considering making photography my profession though. the aviation industry gets a little old after 22 years

When weather permits, I like to get outdoors and go cycling with this:

It's fun to ride, have it one year now. Bought it from a very good friend of mine who collects MTB's from ebay, for a friends bargain price. :sunrevolves: Specialized FSR 'Ground Control' (1999), is in pristine condition despite its age.

I am very happy with it and cycling is a very welcome change from my regular office job.
