What other hobbies do you have???

Postby Icefever » Sat Sep 24, 2016 6:38 am

We all do stilling, that's a forgone conclusion ;) but what other hobbies do we all have.

I'm an AG brewer, (not brewed for a few months thou)...I love my Pan European tourer...also reading, the odd gall of wine (must get back into making more)
Caravaning (which we're in this weekend), cooking, photography.....I think that'll do for now.. :D
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

I like to make a bit of cheese and chutney.

Also enjoy computer programming.

We have a caravan that gets far too little use, I have an XJ600 that gets too little use, RC models that have not flown in ages, I built guitars that I cant play, a cigar box bass and a D28 copy plus others I have bought, I have an air riffle that gets too little use (Hunter Field Target) I have a few bar b q's that get too little use also a cold smoker that sees too few duck breasts, I like photography, astronomy, computers and flying, I have a couple of Saab 9000's that get too little use and now I'm going to buy a small lathe to play with to make a few fittings for some more projects I dont have enough time to fulfill to their max potential. Please if you have any suggestions for other hobbies I would love to hear about them.

I'm a all grain beer brewer and wine maker, used to be an avid motorcyclist until last year but have taken up angling to get away from the wife. :o

Struggle to do any of those at home, except the sewing, my wife wants me to mend her sandals, I need a bigger needle than any I have in my toolkit

A sail boat and a clutch of fishing rods that don't see enough action.
About 20-25 Music gigs a year.
A bit of foody stuff, the smoking and poly tunnel produce.
I don't have time for much else.
Work gets in the way. :)

Bread, all grain beer and grape winemaking are the highlights. We don't buy any of these.

Flying, banjos, building bonkers stuff and a few more to fill those odd seconds of free time... When business isn't calling.

We recently sold the caravan.. It was always nagging "what about me"... had to go!
