daveinspain Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 My second passion... 2004 Harley Road King, ride year round.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I used to ride when I lived in Apache Jct, (Arizona) but never had a ride that nice. There are far too many deer up here for me to get back into bikes. My second love after guitars/tube amps/tube hoarding is Survival/hunting stuff. I've got 30 acres with a cabin, wood burning stove, small pond, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The Great Lakes and preserving them (or not F'ing them up worse than we already have). The Asian Carp scares me a lot. Walking; mainly exploring the city and nature by foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artie Owl Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Golf, Video Games, driving, helping others, learning about and using new technology, my future wife (of course), having a family someday, and saving for retirement. When I retire I'd like to take a course on building guitars. I'd do it now but I can't quite afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidl Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Golf, Video Games, driving, helping others, learning about and using new technology, my future wife (of course), having a family someday, and saving for retirement. When I retire I'd like to take a course on building guitars. I'd do it now but I can't quite afford it. I'd like to learn to build acoustic guitars as well. It is expensive though. There is a luthier/teacher in my area that teaches a few times a year. Classes last 4 weeks at 8 hours a day. He even accomodates out of towners with room and board. The course is $4000.00. His builds sell starting at $8000.00 That would be a nice retirement present.If things go according to plan, that should be in about 6 years.

schnarz25 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hunting (archery), fishing and camping. I'm actually surprised there's so many hunters on here! quite surprising, isn't it? I also like bow hunting, I shot my first hog with a bow about two years ago(before that I just used rifles) and it quickly became one of my favorite types of hunting. I also recently helped get my mom into hunting. she shot her first hog about two years ago and it still remains one of my favorite hunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love wild game meat, but have never had wild boar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowdiddley Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 EVOL wild hogs are a huge problem here in the south (destruction of crops and farm land)and from what I read they are making their way north pretty fast. Its unusual to go hunting here in SC and not see hogs. Their meat is pork and taste that way but with a little gaminess. We soak wild hog meat in buttermilk overnight to take the gaminess out.

I have gone boar hunting twice, and the meat is delicious. Everyone says it tastes so much better until they find out its boar, then they get offended. I would recommend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahKeen Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 This thread... Nah, right now about getting in better shape. I'm walking with my Lab for 45 minutes 4-5 days a week (with ankle weights AND wrist weights ) and doing sit-ups daily. I'm also passionate about my family, my church, my dogs, teaching, kids, having fun, getting better even though I'm getting older, and most importantly, living a life for Christ. Even though I'm not close to perfection (nor will I ever be ), I am saved by faith alone and my actions stem from that faith and not the other way around. I trespass against people and I forgive those who trespass against me. I forgive them because I want to be forgiven by my Father. I try to repair the messes I've made not because I should, but because He lives in me and I love Him. I'm not "religious" and I live free from praying to saints, being a slave to rituals, idol worshiping, false teachings, and lies. I'm so better off than I was before.... Ok, passionate enough? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol fred Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 For me it's local history. I live on the site of a former CA gold rush town surrounded by old mining claims. I'm doing research for a book on the history of this area that should be published next year. Some of the picture in the slideshow below were taken during the gold rush literally in my back yard. http://www.slideshar...-the-gold-rush# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 .... Actually to put my own initial response into perspective... My little bro claims that when I decide to learn something, I reeeeally get into it. History, living history of 1860-90; guitar; firearms/firearms history; both eastern and western traditional martial arts and philosophy - which I see as functionally identical, physical and mental; a bit of learning theory; writing for fun and to eat, ditto photography... But then... I'm back to the original: Everything, nothing... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
