What other hobbies do you have

[floyd_2 (Dean)]

It looks like I overlap with just about everyone here:

• Website design
• Photography
• Graphics
• Computers / operating systems / networking
• Surveillance systems
• Woodwork
• Building / flying RC helis
• Home theatre (4 in my house....how sad)
• Music (player of flute, sax, clarinet, piano and bass guitar...none of them well enough to earn a living) plus a home studio. Always wanted to be an audio engineer

The list just goes on and on. The worst part is that I don't have enough time to do all of them, so I just flit from one to another. Astronomy is by far one of the mainstays!

Apart from the obvious, astronomy.
Building and repairing computers.
Motorcycles (rebuilding a Suzuki 750-4). After 30 years its great to be on a bike again
Reading (Scifi)
Collecting anything connected with Star Trek.
Woodwork, Metalwork (lets me use all the skills I've learned over 40 years of working, for ME

Woodworking/Cabinetmaking, Leadlight, although I haven't done any in ages, still have to replace the temporary leadlight I made for the front door when we moved into our house...12 years ago! My wife keeps reminding me on occasion, just incase I forget, bless her.. Also Computers & Electronics.

Gardening, reading, writing. I've got several novels in the pipeline but finding it very difficult to finish them due to work/family commitments.

Today I committed to a BMW R1200GS.

Six weeks - can't wait. the current owner is on a 6 week trip around Australia before he goes back to Scotland, and on his departure I'll take ownership. Oh the freedom!

Other hobbies revolve around my Land Rover and touring/camping.

Chris,
I don't think the G11 will fit on it!!

To tell you the truth, it probably could John. It's the M210 that I'd have trouble with!

The P2-Z and a refractor? No problem.

My only other real passion at the moment is playing soccer while I still can

and reading when I get time

[WarpSpider74 (Derek)]

Oh too too many, and none of them cheap

At one time or another... I tend to move back and forth between all of them depending on season and inclination

• Astronomy (probably the only permanent fixture here...)
• Cycling (road & offroad)
• Windsurfing
• Fencing (foil)
• Rockclimbing
• SCUBA diving (well, not really a hobby, it was a part of my life for 10 years)
• RC Gliders & helicopters
• Golf (I try, anyway)
• ...and my new one. Learning to fly a glider.

[big_dav_2001 (Davin)]

I play guitar and read, llike many others on here...

I also keep various reptiles and spiders, which takes up a fair bit of time, currently have 2 turtles, 1 blue-tongue lizard, 1 water dragon, 1 4ft long carpet snake as well as 2 bird-eating spiders (breeding pair), and a sydney funnel-web...
