What are your other hobbies besides guns and ammo?

[Quickdraw22]

I like building guns (shotguns particularly), building engines, autocross, and going fast in any direction.

My new restoration project may have me balding by the time I finish, but it's definitely lots of fun.

 

[Tx_oil]

Restoring and collecting classic soda machines and gas pumps 1920's to 1950's, custom auto and bike painting, camping, travel and photography.

 

[Gunnut80]

Reloading and spending quality time with my Harley.

Ryan, what are the details on your mustang? What blower is pokin out? Looks nice.

 

[03protege]

I would like to have a lot more hobbies than I have time/money for.

So off and on:

Beer and Wine making
Computer building
Bike riding
Carpentry/car audio
Anything constructive with my hands. Building or repairing.

And the most time/money consuming one.... My girlfriend.

Travel... Really it's an addiction. Alaska last month. New Mexico this weekend. Vegas for Thanksgiving.
Glass sculpture... I have the burns to show for it. Plans to add glass blowing to the mix next month.
Silversmithing, just a little.

OOOOOH Reeeaaaallllyyyy

Can you make me some bullets, just in case SHTF and we were wrong about the zombies?

 

[Spent Brass]

My daughter, beer making, beer geeking, skateboarding, racing my GTO, mountain biking comite/hooper, road biking occasionally, the gym, and LSU Football

guess thats enough to keep my weekends full from now to eternity.


edit: I want silver bullets too. Group buy? 5.56?

 

[Old_Demon]

House projects, have a vegetable garden, want to do some fishing, and playing with my car.

 

[Baldrik78]

Build water-cooled PCs. My current rig, running dual 240mm x 120mm radiators, Heatkiller blocks and a D5 pump. It'll get rebuilt (again) in a few more months when I get tired of it.

why? seriuos question!

 

[Baldrik78]

why? seriuos question!

To cool it? And to overclock the **** out of it. Stock speed on that processor is 3.3ghz. It's currently running at 4.7ghz. It will boot at up to 5ghz, but my motherboard won't push enough voltage to keep it stable for more than about 2 minutes(mobo maxes at 1.328v under load, needs more like 1.4-1.45v to be stable at 5ghz). Stock cooling at stock speed will hit temps of 60-70C on the cpu, 60-100C on the video card; overclocked to only 4.2ghz, the cpu will get hot enough to force a system shutdown(around 98-100C). Under water, with both the cpu and video card overclocked, temps 53C on the cpu and 45C on the video card.

Cooking, Eating, Drinking, NASCAR, and anything else that doesn't require me to singlehandedly walk 25 less than bright employees through their entire work week to get the job done. Can we say working stiff? Yep. 2 days a week I am HAPPY with my Hobby of NOT being at work. I'd tell you what I do but you'd feel bad for me and I can't have that. Otherwise, the Internet, Police scanner, cooking reality shows fill the void and I like them alot. I really enjoy just being with and talking to my wife. I think some guys find a girlfriend to be a hobby, but I'm hooked. She likes the idea of guns but doesn't want to shoot as often as I do. Oh well, she is bright as the sun and wonderful company. I'll say she is my favorite hobby.

Very cool. I have essentially the same blower on my 04 Gto, with similar supporting power mods. Gives me an idea that mustang of yours must be pretty fun.

 

[petelanca]

Let yourself get drawn back to someyhing you were drawn to before. Natural interest is way less struggle than a garrage full of wanna be hobbies. BTW i'm single and really enjoy having lady friends & pals to the camp, fish, music, cooking, garden, atv, shooting, karaoke, grab ass, fire, dancing...beer and good conversation. Oh and the camp dog....

Been fighting boost leaks, and I rarely ever drive it. The whole kit is basically home made, and I need to get a few more things improved with my blower plate for it to start making the kind of power it should.

Nope. That's casting I think... Sheet silver or metal clay only, I'd like to dip into silver soldering too.

 

[BUSTER48]

Guitar, fishing and cuisine.
