Default What other hobbies besides your corvette?

Since the car's in storage for the winter I've been focusing on my other main hobby, target shooting in a pistol league. I looked at my pistol case tonight and realized with what I have into target guns (both 22lr and 45 acp) along with scopes, magazines, reloaders and supplies etc etc I could probably buy another nice C4 I'm also getting into R/C airplanes which I'm finding out can add up quickly as well. Was curious as to what other hobbies the C4 crowd enjoys and if you ever catch yourself thinking "if I don't buy this and that I can do something else to/for the car" or do some of you spread your hobby dollars out evenly?

Too many:
Skiing (resort and back country)
Boating/waterskiing/barefooting
Snowmobiling building/modifying, and riding
Mountain biking
Antique (brass era) cars

I think that's it, but that is enough stuff that I'm good at all of them, master of none.

Musician (guitar & vocals), hiking, bass fishing, video games, car modelling, weight lifting, and last but not least, professional-level time wasting!

While theres a long list of things I have done and do from time to time like hunting, shooting, backpacking,hiking, mountain biking, downhill biking, skiing, wife pain in the assery and god knows many things in between. This stage in my life is pretty much work, my wife and kids, dogs and what extra time after that working on the vette. My wife and I work opposite schedules so that pretty much kills "me time". My vette is my "me time" now.

Shooting, photography and video games. The Corvette has been taking up most of my time these days though. I've even let my membership at the range lapse.

Right now I am in Honduras, enjoying the beaches, cheap booze, the warm climate, white water rafting, fishing, zip lines, snorkeling and the best thing Honduras has to offer the tanned friendly ladies.

Train photography, computers, World of Warcraft. WoW is getting a little jealous of all the time I'm spending on Corvettes though ..

Wintertime genealogy, in better weather it's golf, travel and Civil War. Been to most if not all major battlefields in the eastern theater and a few in the western. A few recent pics.

Stupid me picked another "fair weather" hobby with my Harley.
So with the single digit temps this morning, they are both sitting in the garage.

Your top photo is from the shores of Lac Le man (Lake Geneva). I used to live there, and the winters weren't all that bad. You did have to get out of the fishbowl and up into the mountains occasionally though, just to see some sun through the winter.

All said, living in CA would be worse than the arctic for me.
