List your Hobbies of past and present

[Big John Son]

Anyone of my friends will tell you that I am fucking batshit crazy when it comes to hobbies I have undertaken over the years. It started in my childhood and spiraled out of control. I take on hobbies and try to master them to some degree, then dump them like a used whore... I am a research nut, and a buy once cry once type. At one time I had 12 guitars, marshall stacks, botique amps, sound boards, 2000 watt DJ system with a full radio stations worth of music on a 2TB hard drive....Yes, I go overboard, and most people that know me well would say I am extremely obsessive when I decide to whack a new mole.

Here is the list starting from my childhood but not really in perfect order.

Radio controlled cars
Stamp collection
Knife collecting
BMX racing
Dirt Bike Racing
Baseball Card collecting
RC Helicopters and Planes
DJ (professionally hired gigs)
Guitar and Vocals in a paid gig band
Woodworking (fine furniture)
Gun Collecting and Target Shooting
Boating (blue water fishing)


I'm sure I missed a bunch. I am 52 and lived a good good life. Hopefully I have some time left on this earth to try and master a few more hobbies!

Have to work a little harder this week. Some jackass stole my dump trailer off a job site over the weekend. Cut the locks and hooked up.

For me, my hobbies (in no particular order)

Gun collecting and shooting
Audiophilia
Making sure my house doesn't fall apart
Attempts to smoking meat
Random drives through nowhere
Fabrication (basic wood working, welding, electronics, etc). Project included building my own guns, speakers, amps, etc.
And, of course, cars/trucks
Although I used to do most car maintenance/upgrade jobs myself, I choose not to for the most part anymore. Nowadays, if it involves me getting under the car, I leave it to someone else. Yes, that includes oil changes. The only exception I've made in the last few years was replacing a bad oil pressure sensor on the Excursion. Time constraints forced me to diagnose and repair the problem on the spot myself on a Sunday. Fortunately it was just the sensor, and the car wasn't actually losing oil pressure.
