Re: What hobby do you enjoy?

I did the RC airplanes before the kid was born. That was back in the mid '80's. Got pretty good at it. Built half a dozen or so up to a quarter scale Piper Cub. Had to buy a van to haul that sucker around. Flew it twice before the ole' woman told me she was preggers. Kept the van sold the airplane! :eek:( Never went back to that hobby. Used to race Forumla Ford & 1600 back then too. Another expensive hobby that got shelved.

Re: What hobby do you enjoy?

I tried RC airplanes untill I made 4 planes worth of smokeing holes in the ground and about $1500 later I went to RC boats. Much cheaper when you use the plane parts and make air boats. Now I can't afford ether. At the time I was a live in care giver for a bedfast man and he paid for the first 2 planes then I built one just from plans and the last one I built from a kit. Crashed them all. Had no trouble on the flight sim on the computer, could do all kinds of stuff there but when I tried it in the air it didn't work so good,,,LOL.....ANIMAL :D

More power to you man, there's a whole lot of more work goes into them, and the results usually end up in disaster, I watched my brother-in-law do it for a few years, and said that's not for me,,, although, you do ocassionally lose a boat.

I love target shooting when it is just myself. It is not really a hobby but hanging out at the lake place with the family is hard to beat. It is the only activity that all five of us enjoy.

I have to work this saturday, but I hope to hit the lake in the afternoon. School and cooler weather, low of 42F saturday morning is making it harder to get out there.

Anything that keeps me interested. I seem to jump from one thing to another.

Over the years I have hunted, fished, whitewater kayak, ride motorcycles, geocache, computers, online games, home improvement, disc golf, golf, tennis, distance running, guitar, banjo, concerts, travel, read.

Lately I just work on my project boat when I can and take the other working boat out when I have time. I still fish a little. I think I'd fish more with a boat better suited to it. I'll probably have a new bass boat in a couple of years. What I really want to do is build some boats from scratch though.

I musta notta been thinking last night. I need to ad shooting, archery, hunting, and reloading, not mention luremaking, but I don't have the equipment for that, or the money to start. Same with reloading. Done it, loved it, can't afford it, but will some day.
