Other than the obvious hobbie that we all share here, what are some other hobbies that you have? Ill start, I enjoy using my smoker. It is a pit smoker, with a wood tray and on a 6 foot pull behind trailer. It comes in handy for family get togethers. I have done some competition, but its not why Im in it. I love good bbq, and smoked meats so I figured instead of buying it, I would learn how to do it.
I also enjoy firearms. I have completed my gunsmith classes at trinidad college, in trinidad colorado. I worked for a while in Arkansas at 2 different gun stores as the onsite gun smith. I have always enjoyed working with my hands, and this allows me to see many different models of firearms, and to become a jack of all trades.
So, what about you, what hobbies do you have?

Too many hobbies for an accurate accounting. My biggest problem is that when I start something I then get so "in depth" that what I need for gear surpasses my income and I give it up. I did that with astronomy/astrophotography, I figured out what I would need to spend to continue advancing, and I just didn't have the $. I'm working on that problem except with #1 on the list below.
In no particular order:
Firearms and competitive shooting photography gardening cooking, baking, southern BBQ Dogs (they are family members also) DIY

Used to be motorcycling but neck fusion put a stop to that.
Been into amateur radio for awhile and enjoy that quite a bit.
That's all for now

Those are some fantastic creations Thank you. I forgot to mention that I used to be the webmaster for my school when I taught, and I ended up developing my own website. So that has become quite a hobby for me, too.

Had a grandfather and uncle that were very heavy into it. I never got to the point where I could take the tests or the like. I should do that someday. I do play with C.B. radios and they are fun, but near as fun as amatuer radio.

A couple of my current hobbies. Astronomy- I make my own telescopes. Dobsonian type. I have ground up to a 16” mirror.
Kites. I like flying kites. Very relaxing.

Awesome stuff here guys! I tend to like to try out new things, but most of the time I have neither the funds nor the experience to feel like I can continue down the path. I love to hear what y'all do, and who knows, maybe one day I will take up one of the hobbies listed here.

I like to hunt fish shoot and stuff of that nature. Shaving is my only full time hobby though.

Well I tell ya what old man, you ever make it to South Arkansas, I'll put you on some ducks in the morning, and deer in the evening. Then when that's done, we can go tear up the crappie and bass. As far as shooting goes, the land we have is surrounded by soy beans so, we used our bulldozer, and levelled out a place with a berm. We are setup from point blank, to 300 yards. Everything from .22 all the way up to 300 win mag if you don't mind not feeling your shoulder for a few weeks.
