OT: What are your other hobbies?

When I'm not flying or mucking about with AI flights, I sometimes sling a little paint or mess with flight models.

My non-FS hobbies include this site, shooting old west type guns, reloading ammo, student of Marlin short action lever action rifles (Models 1888, 1889 and 1894), collecting antique ammunition (44-40 Winchester), coin collecting (US cents made before 1910 in particular) and whatever else strikes my fancy.

This is not counting time spent messing with the critters (Min Pins, Jay D Byrd and my horse Ruby)
 
Cheeky buggar Larry!

:woot: I think we should get all the SOH members together at KOSH one of these years. I've been going with my father since I was 5.

Other than aviation interests, I'm a weather geek, go storm chasing locally, work, attend college, and play lots of Counter-Strike Source (especially now that I have my new PC).
 
I do lots of other stuff. My main hobby is racing outboard hydroplanes. I've been doing that for 28 years now. My son and I ride dirt bikes, hunt (deer and ducks), and fish. I also like tinkering with computers when I can find the time and money....
 
Well, I was into plastic scale models, but got burned out
then into radio control aircraft, but got burned out
then into real aircraft, but got burned out
then into fishing, but got burned out
then into sailing, but got burned out
then into motorcycles (Harleys), but got burned out
then into flight simming, but ....still into it...:ernae:,
 
i like to play with ms paint sometimes

here is a chopper i drew. sadly photobucket destroys some of it when you upload it, so you may not see that i drew the individual links of chain, and the chain adjuster, screws, etc.
