View Full Version : Hobbies?
So besides cars what are your Hobbies? I have gardens and work with dogs.
I'm currently adding three kinds of peppers, oregano, two kinds of basil, rosemary and lavender to the gardens this year. I still train dogs but just for fun now I stopped doing it professionally a few years ago. I'm just curious to see what other people on here do in their spare time.

lol sweet i get to help mark, i can pick up the naaawwwzzz!
For me, i love playing soccer and am trying to get better at golf. I also like my rc stuff, when it gets warmer out ill dust them all out and clean the motors, maybe ill race them at the track a few days. We all know the car takes most of my time though :)
Maybe next meet should be at a driving range, like another option for bubble tea could be there.
You haven't seen me with a golf club yet, you won't want to be anywhere near me. I almost killed Laura last time I picked up a golf club.
drinking, sex, shooting stuff, photography, dj-ing, woodworking.

for you guys who like to build models and like woodworking, you should buy one of those model planes that you build of wood and they actually fly. Its a lot of fun to build (very hard and exact) and when you finnish its amazing.
I built this one in the 30" wingspan version

Besides being a baseball and F1 fan, used to run competitively (college/Division I cross country, indoor track, outdoor track), and won a few local road races here and there. Recently getting back into running (and the gym) to get rid of the pooch. :P I also do some latin dancing (rhumba, merengue, some cha cha, tango), and drawing.
i need a new battery charger, mine pooped out about a month ago

loool
get yourself a nice peak charger, they come in handy for more than just rc batteries because of such high adjustability.
i had one i think my brother got water or soda on it.. it doesnt work anymore

hobbies include, 35mm photography(includes developing and printing), shooting range, cars, collages, amateur framing, frisbee (skipping school to go play, fun times), cruises, vacationing, exercising, and most importantly the thing I enjoy most, running.

You still run? What are your fave areas to run at? For me (in no particular order): Lewis & Clark trail (5.3 or 8.1 mile routes), Queeny Park, Forest Park, McNair Park (the h.s. cross country route), Creve Coeur...heck, pretty much most parks that have trails, preferably dirt trails.
James AND Brandon are runners? Awesome between school, friends, girls, and cars I run almost every day for both my school's track and field team and the cross country team in the fall. My dad was a runner so I just fell in i guess.

i guess i need to add drinking, frisbee golf, washers, and F1 to my list.
if anyone knows where to get a 15" diameter ring of pvc lemme know, i got ideas for a killer set of washer boxes. my old set got left out in the weather over the winter at a buddies house.

i have different paces through st.charles. I sometimes go down to the river and run the katy trail. I do about 3-4 miles though. I was a 800m guy so about 3 miles was around my stopping point. It's easy to run a good 3 miles because I live RIGHT ACROSS the street from McNair and they have excellent course.

Oh boy :rolleyes:
Since I have alot of free time I should have alot of hobbies... I used to do professional dancing but do it for fun now, crafts, cooking and I'm just getting into gardening. Hey Tom, if I need pointers would you lend your expertise?

Sure but I'm not sure if I'm the best to give advice.
