What's your hobby?

**Retmilleo909** · 04-05-07, 11:56 PM

Practically everyone has a hobby, what's yours? Hunting, fishing, golfing, coin/stamp collecting, knitting, crocheting, bird watching or sitting in the mall watching all the pink haired, pierced, wierdos doing their thing?

I wonder who in the forum has the most unusual hobby, i.e. spelunking/caving, climbing, etc.?
The last two aren't for me, as I have a tendency to get claustrophobia when wedged into a small hole under ground and acrophobia when I lean out of a window several hundred feet from the pavement.

This may sound nerdy and boring, but I like rock collecting. I actually have found quite a few fossils that I have looked up in books that are over 3 million years old.

I haven't done it much since I got back from Iraq, but I like photography. I also like hiking in the mountains (to include caves, if I can find them), but again, don't do it all that often.

And then there's things like hunting and motorcycling, which I would like to do but don't yet.

I guess my main hobby is daydreaming about the hobbies I'd rather be pursuing.

I like photography a lot. I also really like exploring, lol, it sounds stupid but I really love just driving places around back roads, trying to get lost, and finding my way back. I've found a lot of beautiful places on the way. I also have my trusty map though, I like adventure, but I'm not stupid.

I really like tinkering with older cars. I love roleplaying games, video games and word games. I build models on the side, mostly armor and equipment. I have reintroduced myself to gardening once again and I truly enjoy getting my hands dirty.

Hey Armygrunt502, have you tried Square Foot Gardening? Just reading a book on it and think I may give it a go.

I tend to go from hobby to hobby. Probably the strangest one was my hat collection.

Don't collect hats. Once you get a couple hundred you'll see the error of your ways and collect smaller things.

I read the obituaries and cross the names out of the phone book.

**BEB** · 04-06-07, 04:41 AM

My geezer friends like to borrow the paper, check the obits and say "nope, I'm not dead yet"

And I thought they were morbid

Can you call watching idiots crawl the streets and make asses out of themselves while you throw back a few cold ones a hobby?

Or sitting on your back porch with a pellet gun looking for turtles and snakes and getting in some target practice....who knows!

**BEB** · 04-06-07, 04:55 AM

What do you have against reptiles? That's not nice.

Ahh...I have nothing against reptiles. The pellets that are in the gun don't even break a glass bottle. But the HUUUUGE snakes that stick around for a while I pull out something that will do a little more damage.(A 22 is better) Can't risk the little ones getting around one and getting hurt. I have 2 of my own and my aunt that lives next door has 2.

Just realized I don't have one. Thats pretty sad. I love my job.

Reading, Guitar, Hunting, Anything on the water.

Nothing unusual here. Cooking, I like to make bread by hand, I volunteer a lot with nonprofits, reading, golf (somewhat), it's almost time to plant flowers, so I'll be doing that.

I tried knitting recently. I ended up making a finger cozy. It's very pretty, though.
