Californiaman Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 So what sort of hobbies do you have? I collect baseball and other sports related cards. Mostly baseball, but I have basketball and football in my collection too. I used to do shows, but those seem to have become not so popular anymore. It was once a good way to make an easy $500.00 on the weekend. It was also through these shows that I began collecting autographs too. I think I'm most proud of my Reggie Jackson, Nolan Ryan, and Derek Jeter baseball card collections and my Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant basketball collections.

american cheez Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 So what sort of hobbies do you have? i used to collect movies. specifically kung-fu, sword films, period/historical films like saiguk and taiga dramas. at one time i had over 800 titles just in kung fu. i eventually stopped because it became unwieldy, and the media kept changing. some of those films could not be had on dvd or blue ray, and i haven't had a vhs since i dunno when. i also used to study feudal japan. not just war and politics, samurai and other nobles, but what life was like for lower classes. the taiga dramas got me started on this because they are not always (often) very accurate. the last couple years i have not been studying because of my life turning inside out killed alot of my free time, and i have had way too much stress to concentrate. i like bass fishing when i can. somehow all the fun stuff i like, gets killed off by seasonal mandatory overtime.

SteveFord Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 You guys already know them, I believe: motorcycles giant reptiles stereo gear but I never mentioned fishing, that's a great activity. Even if you're only snagging the bottom, who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtim Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I like metal detecting quiet a bit. Look for old coins mostly but also civil war relics. I also like reading true weird paranormal and cryptozoology stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Besides the obvious music and guitar interest. I take an amature interest in history, astronomy, evolution and other boring ( according to my wife) sciencey stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tekboy Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Baseball for sure. Also, I live exactly 100 yards from trophy bass fishing. Pretty much living the good life. I also host Karaoke every other Sunday, for the seniors in my community. I use my PA, so it sounds like they are fronting a band. They absolutely love it. Computers used to be a hobby, then they became a vocation, and now, maybe they are back to being a hobby, since I have retired. I am not quite clear on that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Other than playing music (of course), I play a few different video games on my home computer when not playing music. I've been working in the IT field for 23 years and occasionally troubleshoot computer issues for others or assist in building computers and doing upgrades. I have about 1000 books of various content, fiction, non-fiction and music. I have a stamp collection from when I was a kid in the 70's. I have a lot of LP's and cassettes from the 70's through 90's and I'm working slowly but surely recording those to my PC to preserve them. In the past, I've also taken martial arts classes - Shaolin Do , Ninpo Taijitsu and Tae Kwon Do and earned brown belt in each. I enjoy traveling and have been to most of the US except the Northeast and some of the upper Midwest states. I enjoy watching some documentaries, in addition to a pretty big variety of other TV shows and movies. Mostly I just hang out with my lovely wife, our kids and our friends. Music is a big part of our life and we enjoy playing music together, with friends and going to bars/clubs/concerts as well. Sometimes we like going out, sometimes we just stay home. My kids were in Cub Scouts/Boy Scouts when they were younger and I was a Scout Leader for 8 or 9 years. We enjoy camping occasionally with friends and family.

kidblast Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Photography, I used to be far more active than I am now. Even had a dark room and did a lot of my own prints and developing. I miss Kodachrome.. I play Piano, I don't practice as much as I should, if I did I'd probably be a much better player than I am. Can't help that Guitar keeps calling me home. I play a bit of Golf, this is God's way of telling me "There will be things you suck at" I can break 100 on some days. but not on others. I do have a coin collection that I started when I was around 8 or 9, I still add to it now and then if I happen across something. and I drink,, is that a hobby?

Tekboy Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'm the same way. Always two off the tee. Maybe a few more on par 3's if there fun. The first time I played golf, I shot a 96 in nine holes. Coincidentally, that was my last game of golf. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 aside from music : Horror movies, classic & not so classic.

jdgm Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I used to be a record and CD collector but in the last 3 years I've had to sell a lot of 'em off..... Listening to music was my first love and I'm still a far better listener than player. Apart from music I do a lot of swimming, eat, sleep and drink beer now and then! Gardening can grab me too. I want to grow stuff [thumbup] Staying alive and enjoying it as much as possible...that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
