Everyone has a hobby of some sorts (some not quite mentionable), and they do these usually whenever they get some free time. Mine is Cycling in the summer, which I hope to start doing competatively here before too long, reading, and writing. well how bout everyone else? what do you like to do?

In the summer, baseball, cruise in my GTO, and pretty much whatever else I can do to get out of the house. In the winter, model cars, the computer... pretty boring. I hate winter.

Watch movies.
Work on my car (installing parts, rebuilding engine, building fiberglass sub pod, etc).
Play pool and darts (Usually at the bar).
Eat... I love to eat.
Argue with my girlfriend (although I don't enjoy it, it takes up ALOT of my spare time).
Draw.
Snowboard (pretty rare this year).
Go swimming.
Read (Books, magazines, newspapers, phone books, whatever...)
Fix stuff around the house.
Build stuff (I build alot of lamps. made one out of an old VW hub-cap, steel braided hose and a big fat chain.)
Go camping or go to a barter faire (barter faire = hippie freak-out festival up in the woods).

No particular order:
AF.
Play piano, and sometimes arrange stuff for piano.Watch TV. I watch TLC, Discovery Channel, Comedy Central, History Channel, Animal Planet, and sometimes Fox. Note: I almost never watch TV by itself, I almost always am doing one or more of the other listed hobbies simultaneously.
Origami.
Make paper cars, such as those found at http://www.nissan.co.jp/EVENT/PAPERCRAFT/
Rubber stamp and color cards and stuff.
Design houses and study up on architecture.
Eat. I have a tendency to eat because I want to, not because I'm necessarily hungry. Luckily with my current metabolism I get away with it.
Play computer games.
Read books. I'm a big Vonnegut fan.
Research car wrecks and fatality rates. I'm utterly fascinated by this stuff.

I'm sure there is other stuff I'm forgetting...

Spare time..I usually work on my computers, or detail the cars (when its not snowing), work on my novel that at this pace will never get finished. In the summer I hang out in the pool hall alot.

I play tennis year round and I play basketball during the season. In the spring I lift weights and exercise a lot to get in prime condition for summer. In the summer I go to the beaches in north carolina, but this year my second home is going to be myrtle beach, south carolina. When I'm not doing any of that stuff, then I'm probably doing some type of work or detailing on my car.

It just depends. Go out with friends, watch baseball(during baseball season of course), bar hopping, water skiing, knee boarding, tubing. It varies from day to day, season to season.

Mine are listed here: http://www.katwoman097.com/interests.html

But in the last several months I have been pretty busy and havent gotten to enjoy them as much. Getting married was a big factor, but in a good way :) Then after the wedding/honeymoon (yes I still have yet to go thru my pics :( ) we've been switching off with car troubles. Alex needed a radiator shortly after we got back, then my drive axle seals had to get replaced. New Years Day I was greeted with a blown headgasket. So for the last few weeks my car's been up on jacks. But its together now, but not quite ready to drive.

So as for hobbies not a whole lot has been happening but I am hoping to get back into some of them again soon :)

Oh.

I race the Rotax Max racing kart series if it is close to here. I am teaching my kids how to kart, and my 3 year old is learning to ride this kick ass little pocket bike I bought him last year.

Usually just Af, homework, gym, family guy.

However last few days, me & some friends here hollowed out (are int he process of anyways) this;

(I'm the yellowish blob on top)


Here's the entrance so far, it's dug into the side of the mountain. We found a piece plywood and put beams across to support the wieght of it and snow. We found outriggers off a crane (Orange metal thingies) to help hold it up.

The tunnel goes in about 10 or 11 feet, then veers rights for another 6-7 and then opens into a room, we're planning some more expansion. We started it last night and have till late February to finish, hehehe.

hehhe, I'll try to post daily updates, it's really pretty cool.

We just got a 35 cm or so dump the other day, it was the first real big one, and I think it's traditional to build snowforts in Canada.
