I'm interested what other hobbies my fellow crazy planted tankers enjoy, so figured I'd start with my other money sucking addiction - racing RC cars/trucks. I truly have a problem with this one, I currently own 14 cars. :eek5: :help: 9 are used only for racing, 4 are vintage from my childhood that I've had for over 22 years, and one is a serious rock crawler with 4 wheel steering. I also have 2 helicopters, a plane, and a fan boat. I could fill my basement with tanks for the cost of these things, but god is it fun! Some pics of a couple of my cars in action!
Woodworking is probably my most expensive hobby.
Photography is another expensive one but it was also part of my work but I love shooting.
SCUBA/Snorkeling
Model Railroading
Books
Gardening, we also raise chickens at certain times.
Fishing, including building my own rods because I can't find what I like in the stores.
I have a few other hobbies besides the planted tanks. Anyone who has seen my master thread knows there are lots of reptiles in my life. Love them all. That takes a fair bit if time up. I am also somewhat of a gamer. Mostly X-Box, but I like some of the older games for the computer. Command and Conquer, Zoo Tycoon, and the Sims to name a few. I am also big into Legos. Have been collecting since I was 3 and have a huge collection now. 27 years old, and I still build with them.
Paintball, Parkour, Volleyball, Snowboarding, Golfing, PC building, PC gamer, Xbox Gamer, Gardening, Aquaponics, and Robot building. No wonder my wife complains about never seeing me
Nice! Surf or skate or both? I have a 48" Dewey Weber longboard i got in the outer banks about 17 years ago that has brought me a lot of enjoyment. You can hang ten on it, rip big fast carving turns, slide the tail, stable as a rock! Oh to be 18 and fearless again.
I race RC Trucks, rc drags, and RC gas boats.........
I build custom air guns for a living (which is a hobby too)
Also into high power rockets which has been a business of mine for almost 20 yrs now.
Classical music, photography and making desserts are my other hobbies. I play recorders in an early music group and also play classical piano and violin. I'm a member of our local photo club and like to buy new cameras, that's an official hobby of mine, lol.
Now about those desserts....Every time the early music group meets at my house I get to make a dessert. The more complicated, the better. I have WAY too many favorites to list.
Most of my time and money goes to music. I've had aquariums for 50 years and still going strong. My brother and I still go out to the LFS's together. I only have one tank and he is down to three, but if any cute little fish catches his eye he'd set up a tank for it.
Fire spinning/juggling
Djing
Producing dubstep/glitch hop
Playing guitar/drums/keyboard
Cooking (which is why I enjoy my job as a chef)
Drinking a good IPA
All these posts and only *1* other juggler? Ya'll don't know what you're missing!
Juggling, painting, costume design, crochet-knitting-embroidery-cross stitch, beading, soft sculpture, gardening, and sci-fi nut--so reading is high on the list. Gave away my bonsai trees when I realized I just couldn't keep them properly in my current apartment (too hot, too much sun on the balcony)--but looking forward to getting back into it down the road. Was having a lot of fun experimenting with Arizona natives with bonsai techniques.
Currently kept from most of the physical stuff thanks to being in recovery from a bad ankle injury. Once I'm turned loose from that I'll be back to:
hiking, bowling, learning to ride my unicycle, bicycling, and--assuming the doc okays it--fencing lessons to build on the tiny bit I learned back in college.
Wowzer, and I thought I had too many hobbies lol. Well the wife thinks I do anyway.
Fishing, Gaming, and music (Guitar and vocals) I was a voice major for three years so that's my true love. I play guitar so I have something to sing with :icon_lol:
I've got two little boys (4 & 6) that consume about 99% of my time though roud: Wouldn't have it any other way.
I was always into fish keeping, more now that previously because it lets me get away from schol work.. but dont have too much time to get deeply into it.. but my main hobby which somewhat became a job (since i play in college) is lacrosse.
Began training MMA when I can and I every so often buy mods for my 07 Mustang..
I really enjoy playing xbox with my buddies since some go away to school these days, really good way to stay in touch.
Wish i had more time to do things like snowboarding and paintball which i did alot during highschool..
I'm about to go indulge my other hobby (or at least one of them) which is collecting and drinking scotch, I'm headed to Vegas to spend the week drinking rare scotch and having a good time with other scotch enthusiast.

I spend a lot of time sailing both racing and booze cruising, fishing, kayaking, floating... Pretty much anything water or boating related... I run a boating store, which might have something to do with it... Also play a lot of disc golf. I love playing with my two dogs, one is an 8 month old female pitbull/hound mix and the other is a 4/5 year old male American Staffordshire terrier.
