What are your other hobbies??
If you all are like me, RC isn't the only hobby that occupies you time. What else do you do in your spare time? For me anything outdoors is fun for me. I love to fish, hunt, camp and kayak or any combination of these. I have been spending all my free time now (which isn't much) fishing. It has been several weeks since running any of my RC's. Here are a few recent fishing pics if anyone might be interested. Actually I just caught a couple snapping turtles from a pond today. I will be cleanign and eating one of them. Ever try turtle?
Here is a 17 pound channel cat I caught a couple weeks ago
This is a nice 21 inch smallmouth caught from a local lake

RE: What are your other hobbies??
Network security, applications deployment and various other IT related domains are my job, so I don't count them as a hobby.
My other hobbies are:
Video games (in the past to global competition level, but not any more, particularly UT2k4 and I wasn't bad at Q3 either, was GM and RL for a very good WoW guild for a while too)
Photography (I just dabble, I'm not very good)
Trekkie (yeh, I'm serious, star trek is a hobby for me)
That's about it really. I like to play golf but don't do it often enough, so I'm terrible. lol
EDIT: Actually, I'm gonna have to steal one from Fahrt up there...collecting nice things. I do have a lot of nice things.

Archery, biking, C++ (still learning, lots of fun), the trumpet, video games and slot cars. Slotless slot cars, like Tyco TCR to be exact.

RE: What are your other hobbies??
keeping fish.
currently have 7 tanks I maintain in the house
2 saltwater 5 fresh water
saltwater 5 gallon, 2 gallon
Fresh 2 10's (one has a african clawed frog), 45 gallon, 30 gallon, 5 gallon
used to collect swords, but stopped that cause they took up a decent amount of room, and the ornamental ones were a PITA to clean, and keep rust free.
Also used to collect Transformers from the 80's amassed a decent sized collection over the years till I stopped 8-10 years ago.

1:1 cars. i don't care if it's a vintage model A or a modern day tuner. just let me get a wrench on it. been screwing around with old VW's sense i was 16.
model cars. i build a lot of 1/24 scale model cars. iv got a wide variety in my collection, everything from a heavily modified 32 ford hot rod to late 90's ford trucks. but i tend to build a lot of 60's and early 70's cars. i like to do nostalgia drag racing type cars. i also build lowriders with hydraulics.
i also collect the 1/18 and 1/24 scale die cast cars. iv got a small collection mostly consisting of lamborghini's.
1/24 scale slot car drag racing. i still build them i just don't race them much anymore. in fact i don't think iv raced in in about 10 years. i have started building a couple new cars over the past few years though. all of which are currently unfinished.
guitar. and no im not any good and neither is my gear. well i shouldn't say that, my amp is pretty decent. it's my guitar that sucks. and im having problems with it. i think the tone and volume knobs are shot or something (or maybe in serious need of a cleaning). and im halfway sure the output jack isn't working correctly ether. but whatever i still play it from time to time.
BMX. i ride 80's style flatland and early 90's style street.
video games. i like the old consoles. iv got an atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, sega genesis, sega CD, atari jaguar, PS, PS2, gameboy, gameboy pocket, gameboy color, and sega nomad.
custom painting and airbrushing. kind of goes hand in hand with a couple of my other hobbies. ill custom paint just about anything. i like to play around with different effects.

Playing bass guitar- mostly rush stuff, throwing boomerangs- quite good at this, but rusty since it's been a bit windy, I also Diabolo- i know about 75% of tricks and invented one, fixing up and upgrading 1/1 cars- my vette is going along, restoring and collecting antique fans- have a collection of about 11 so far, fully restored 3, fixed 5, 1 is a work in progress, all but 1 work great, I also enjoy trying to fix junk I find. I also own a couple reptiles and a snake.
Lot you can do when you don't have a girl friend/wife and just a couple friends. I enjoy my own company and am a little anti-social, but I don't mind hanging out with friends every now and then.

RE: What are your other hobbies??
Oddly enough, I barely play games now, and when I do it is simple time-wasters like MineCraft and Tropico. This coming from a guy that had (growing up):
Commodore 64
Jaguar
Atari 2600
NES
SNES
Sega Genesis and 32x
3 PS1's and a PSOne (slim)
2 original Xbox's
Now I am on my third 360 but all it gets used for lately is NetFlix

RE: What are your other hobbies??
I guess I have other "hobbies". When married with a 2 year old and one on the way, hobbies diminish. I love shooting guns. I shoot long range small game mostly. woodchucks, squirrels, etc. I work on cars when needed (not just for the fun of it) tho I would like to rebuild the Hyundai when I get another car; port n polish, bore it possibly, cold air intake, header, exhaust (not a rice burner sounding one tho). I sometimes play video games on the PS3, mostly Netflix. I have a guitar, but barely play it, just like to fool around on it. thats about it. I hope to own a larger fleet of rc's tho and have that just be my hobby.

Guitar, fishing, computers (both software and hardware - do them both for my job as well but I like them enough to do them at home too), and cooking. Man I love to cook.

Ball games outdoor and online are both acceptable.
and recently my friend get me involved in doing research in suspension insulators,since he has to publish an essay on it.
then I have to accompany him to help.
