Hobbies other than vaping

[Fuzzy Bruce]

I have to be careful with my hobby budgets spilling over to my vape budget. I have five Reo Grands in use, a dozen bf atomizers, 1500+/- ml of juice, a dozen batteries less than a year old, a couple of years worth of KGD and various gauges of wire.

Good thing! I just spent May's and part of June's vape budget along with my hobby stash money on a new to me RC monster truck and some fishing tackle.

What do you do for hobby entertainment?

I enjoy playing drums. I've been a drummer since I was in the 5th grade (about to be 39). I LOVE video games, if you can't tell by my avatar, and I LOVE putting models together! Especially of stuff I grew up with. Like Star Wars vehicles, and TV show stuff like this:

Golf. I read about it, study it, and play as often as I can. I've been playing since 8 years old but as a hobby mostly. Looked at joining the Nike tour at one point. My mother is from Thailand and my father met her while in the Air Force so I joke that I'm Tiger Woods the white version. If you think vaping is expensive, golf can put you in the poor house overnight.

Golf is good. Way back when, I was a duffer just to get out of the house. A winter round here would cost a hundred a day including drinks but no lunch. I always smoked a cigar or two. If I could golf now, my Reo would also get a workout.

Hunting and Fishing with my boys

Wow, I guess I'm a one trick pony! I can't remember the last time anything has interested me. It's been about two and a half years since I finally got into vapeing, and it has consumed me! It's great to finally have a hobby! More power to all you golf fans, I just never had the patience to get that tiny ball into that tiny hole

guns, not hunting, just killing paper targets. (I'm weird like that)....not much time for anything else recently...I have a two year old and a 8 week old and been working about 80 hours a week.

Hey, petrotech, I have been punching holes in paper since leaving the Army a couple of decades ago. Minimum of once a month at the range. Also skeet and trap shooting. Bird hunting without the birds and no worry about the season.

I have way too many hobbies that I don't invest enough time in to make it worth the money I spend on them. A lot of my hobbies are outdoor hobbies in nature. I cave, hike, bike, I do photography, gaming (both board games and PC/Console video games), once upon a time I was very big into cars, but it got way to expensive and time consuming. I've tried my hand in rock climbing and bouldering, and I have been drawing since I was very young, but I don't draw as much as I used to. I've played several instruments including drums and guitar. I wish I could get all of the money back from the various hobbies I've picked up and dropped over the years. I would probably have a nice $60k-$80k from just the last 15 years or so, that I've spent on hobbies that I didn't take seriously enough. I'm a very wishy washy person.

I hear you! Almost all my hobbies have a rather large start-up expense. Then, as you learn more, there is always better, read more expensive gear to be had.

I try and go once a week with my pistols and once a month with my rifles.

I also just started handloading a little bit ago. I find it much more enjoyable to go to the range now that it only costs me pennies a round instead of quarters. lol.

Who were you with? I got out of the Marines last May, so it's been a fun filled year for us. lol.

Amateur Radio...

 

[mojofilter]

I play guitars, bass, drums and keyboards, and spend a good amount of time on these, learning to play songs, and writing my own. I've collected records (and CDs) for 53 years. I've created a database to keep track of everything in my collection. It is so detailed that it reads like an encyclopedia. I've learned how to remove the clicks and pops and the sound of the record playing using an audio restoration suite on the computer. I've restored thousands of records. I also take scans of record labels in my collection and clean them up so they look flawless, and submit them to a site that aims to document all records, with pictures and details.

Rock climbing, back packing, videography, CG animation, and computer building.

Yep. Almost all of my hobbies feel like a test. I buy a bunch of stuff, just to see how or what I should have started with in the first place. A lot of times I sell off the stuff and end up buying new stuff again later. So I end up buying things several times and it ends up feeling like a huge waste.

I left out computer building from my list. I pretty much build a new gaming computer every year. It's not just the good hardware and the gaming, but I enjoy finding the components and making them all work together and getting the most performance for the least amount of money. I tend to buy last years best, so it's 95% as good, but at about half the cost of the newest and greatest. Currently working on an upgrade now. Just got a new set of 1TB drives to mirror for data backup, and a 250GB SSD for my boot drive and all of my games and applications. Soon I'll be upgrading the GPU since the rest of the machine is still too good to warrant a full rebuild. 16GB of fast memory, and an AMD 8350 Black overclocked to above 5Ghz.

I like to cross-stitch, draw, home decorate. Also like video games. And not so much a hobby, but an interest, anime.

There are such things as "other" hobbies?????
