Hobbies?
 

Does anyone here have other hobbies, besides cars? Oh, and besides drinking. I, for example, was once into racing r/c cars at the twin cities hobby place off of brooklyn blvd, back in the day, the very few times i could make it there. Then, I got into helicopters, but sold that last year for car parts. Now, I sorta wished i hadn't sold it, because it'd be nice to have a hobby outside of cars. When you work on them all day long, the last thing you really wanna do is work on yours. Anyway, anyone else have hobbies that keep them sane?

If anyone can suggest a cheap hobbie that would be nice.

Re: Hobbies?
 

I spend too much time playing computer games. Other than that I'm getting back into bowling this fall after previously bowling for 12 years since I was 13. Hopefully can get back the 195 average I once had.

Other than that I've raced R/C cars (1/10 scale off road and dirt oval, and 1/4 scale paved oval) and flown R/C planes, still have two of them. Hopefully a new indoor track will open up in the Cities since Twin City Hobby closed their doors and I will start racing again.

For the helis, i have a buddies corona lite machines model 117, and my heli was a TT raptor 30 v2. I hope to get a 50 v2 sometime again, and fly again.

Music (listening and writing) and fitness

Re: Hobbies?
 

Right on. Are you active in the local community at all or on any forums? Or just you and a few friends. If you're around much I probably know you, at least by sight or reputation anyway.

Re: Hobbies?
 

All of my cars and gear got stolen out of my car two years ago when I was living in St. Paul... Made for a nice Christmas for some thugs...

The two planes I have are an older Sig Kadet trainer, and a Quickie 500 pylon racer that has never been flown. I once owned a twin engine Pica Duelist, such an awesome plane. Two .40 engines with retractable gear, had it clocked at 100mph by a friendly sheriff who stopped by our field one day.

Re: Hobbies?
 

RC monster trucks here. Just screwing around at a BMX track, nothing organized. Otherwise I have somewhat recently mastered the art of drinking;)

Re: Hobbies?
 

Lately my hobby has been all motorcycle stuff AMA updates, stunt videos, trying to find replacement parts, and looking at fuel-injection control modules, like”dynojet”. I still have my RC helicopters and RC truck, but the money has been diverted to my car and bike. My only other toy has been the mini crotch rocket.
The thing came with a 49CC 2.4 horse motor, with electric start and lights, well the motor took a shit so I pulled it off and put on a Honda 5 horse I had laying around and that’s about it.

Re: Hobbies?
 

Cars, motorcycles, jetskis, and of course DRINKING!

I'm also a finance nerd, I love crunching numbers and figuring out stuff for no particular reason at all.

Re: Hobbies?
 

computers (yeah im a geek) cars, and women

Re: Hobbies?
 

Fast Cars. Faster women. and of course Drinking!

Re: Hobbies?
 

Music, cars, the ladies, atv'ing, drinking.

Re: Hobbies?
 

I love bowling and playing pool. Would love to get into a fun bowling league again. Other than that I've gotten back into football cards again.

Re: Hobbies?
 

Bowling is fun also. I haven't done it much lately though. Don't know many people who enjoy it as much as I do. But I'm not the "league" type bowler. I'm more into the drunken bowling on a friday night when it's Cosmic Bowling time, lights off, music playing, long islands, oh ya! Good times can be had believe it or not!

Re: Hobbies?
 

Lately its been drinking as the number one hobby lol. Followed by cars, working on projects- sub boxes, stereo installs, motorcycles..etc... I like doing things myself so the projects usually take up alot of time when Im not doing school crap or working.

Also fishing is a big one, boating, wind surfing, biking, snow skiing, jet skiing, basically anything outdoors.

I do like playing with computers, but you can only take so much when you do it all day for a living.

Re: Hobbies?
 

guitars, r/c planes/boats/cars, motorcycles, fishing, guns, hunting those are the main ones but theres alot more

Re: Hobbies?
 

I also have an obsession with cleaning my car, I do it at least once a day whether its shaking out/vacuuming the floor mats, dusting the car, using quick detailer, etc.

Re: Hobbies?
 

I like my X-Men cards/comics. I like finding "new" music -shutup Joe/Pdiddy- to listen to and maybe one day I'll play Tennis again. I like sketching/drawing/painting/molding, etc... I'd say I'm pretty good if I have the supplies.

Re: Hobbies?
 

I uesd to collect magic cards. havent touched my cards in years. i probable have near a thouasand of em or more.

Re: Hobbies?
 

Video games, Drinking, learning how to do technical stuff, I love learning how to fix things, I am gonna be taking a welding/fabrication class starting next month, that kind of stuff, I always like fixing stuff around the house, even if it just stupid stuff like installing a new doorknob, just working with stuff makes me happy.

Re: Hobbies?
 

^^ where are you taking a class?

Re: Hobbies?
 

Like those knobs huh? ;)

Re: Hobbies?
 

I used to play that ALL the time. If you have cards from when the game was first getting started and they are in good shape you are possibly sitting on some serious cash. I've seen some of my old cards that where a little rare back then for for $200-$500 each. Mine actually went to a better cause, heating a bunch of drunks in a bondfire. :(

Re: Hobbies?
 

hahahaha.

Hmmm... I think im going to look into that. Do you know of any places where I can check the value of cards?

Re: Hobbies?
 

I'll see what I can find in my links at home. I think I saved some in cased I needed motivation to kick my own ass or not toss something into the fire.

Re: Hobbies?
 

besides cars...i work on sleeping

Re: Hobbies?
 

I wonder if he likes polishing the knobs?

Re: Hobbies?
 

Im into RC's as well. I am into Nitro monster trucks, going to the local BMX track with Tim and seeing what i can break next. I also have a 2.2" rock crawler I built. I actually compete in the http://mnrcrockcrawlers.com/default.aspxMN RC Rock crawling comps with it. Although I have missed the last couple due to other things going on.

And I have a couple helis. I have a twin rotor Blad CX that is fun and easy to fly in the house. I also have a Honeybee CP2 elec micro with some bling. I am really good at crashing this one:eek:

As many others have said drinking goes nicley with my RC's and working on my car in the garage:D

HEres a pic of my 2 truck and tims, hanging out in the garage. Tims is the red one.

Re: Hobbies?
 

The only thing that stops me from getting another RC truck to play with is that for some reason the servo's always go bad on me and the RC truck gets away till it runs into something. Then it's either 1 of 3 situations.

1. RC Truck is thrashed
2. RC Truck is thrashed as well as damage to someone else's property, like hitting a car.
3. The naked guy thing happens. Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about. :eek:!

Re: Hobbies?
 

Lately ive been playing a lot of pool for some reason.

Re: Hobbies?
 

Thats my problem on my RC right now. The damn servo is bad.
