Some take delight in fishing and bowling
Others take delight in carriage a-rollin' I take delight in the juice of the barley Courting pretty women in the morning so early Musha ringum duram da Whack fol de daddy-o Whack fol de daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar |

I was thinking of a thread like this the other day. I bet there is a fair amount of crossover.
I'm a new dad too, so finding time for my hobbies has been challenging with our short winter days in Seattle. In no particular order. 1. My house 2. Bowling 3. 911 4. My turntable and stereo |
1. My kids
2. My house 3. My Porsche 4. My photography |
Trying to make everybody happy, or at least make sure nobody's angry at me.
|
Perfection!
|
Some great stuff in here!
Mine would be: 1. My wife 2. Firearms 3. Porsches 4. Whatever other car related flavors I can find. I'm a fan of many marquees. |
family first, everything else is a distant second
my obsessions at the moment are, weight saving on my 964 project without spending money compiling a list of race finishes of cars I have worked on waiting for snow and snowboarding when there is snow my house in the mountains in Slovenia visiting new countries and places collecting models of cars I have worked on searching and buying Porsche spares not wasting my money and living within my means a boring list with no big ticket items but all of them make me happy :) |
Back what I was single and younger I made a list of my hobbies. I came up with 17 hobbies or activities I liked.
I waited for the perfect weather day on a Saturday and managed to spend some time doing all of them. I was exhausted but happy that day. Some of them off the top of my head in no particular order: Model Airplanes Frisbee Golf Firearms Brewing Beer Growing Roses (I had 18 roses bushes at the time) Chasing women Autocrossing in my Porsche Tinkering with cars Coin Collecting Photography Building computers Reading (mostly Science Fiction) And several others. Some of them have been curtailed since getting married. My wife does not let me chase women anymore. :cool: I never got into golf or boating. I have not been camping since I was a boy scout. |
Family and the like is obvious, so wont even count that.
The only things that I would really call my "obsession" are: Boats, the sea. Pretty much anything nautical related. My mains "interests" are Offshore powerboat racing. American muscle cars and old trucks. Trains. Most outdoor activities (fishing, camping, hiking, surfing, etc etc...) . |
I'm not much of a collector but I do enjoy the following:
Family College Football Cars Pistol shooting Hitting the gym A glass of wine. Ok, maybe two or three:) |
keeping the family happy
trying not to spoil the daughter as she works so hard golf reading about golf - like Bobby Jones putzing on my Boxster and driving it of course walking/hiking drinking red wine - max 2 glasses going to restaurants where the food is good reading Pelican parts ot forum of course and other car forums... Guy |
paintball
craft beer women |
Food, beer and porn......not necessarily in that order!;)
