My longest lasting activity is playing drums in a Rock band. Still doing it after 31 years. Did it professionally for about 5 years then decided that I liked eating reguarly.

In no particular order:
Ham radio

Private Pilot, singe engine land.

Auto mechanics, out of need at first now as a hobby.

Competitive Trap, pistol and rifle shooting. Gunsmithing/refinishing.

Golf.

Wood working, build furniture.

R/C airplanes, cars and boats.

Looking for fun in all the wrong places.

Next - of course - to my wife and kids, who do not allow me to put pics of them on the web, but who cares :) my hobby is Perl. Do computer languages count as computers?

Aside from that, when the weather is fine, I'd like to hike with my girl (the right one on the pic) or to create things from wood (tables and such).

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi,

I play the bassguitar for about 25 years. The last couple of years I do that in a gospelchurch.

Besides that a lot of times goes to my wife and kids (2 doughters, third will be 'deployed' in december)

When there is time left, I like to sport. At first running, then bike and swim. Did some half marathons, run-bike-runs and 1/4-triathlon.

Greetzz
Donald

I negociated 3 11:30-14:30 (prolongated lunch time, out of standard hours) to bring down my extra hours I spend at work, the hierarchy has the choice of cancelling one of them for a good reason once in a week episodicaly...
It leaves me the time to cross the town to play some organ...
The rest of time is spent now with my 2 kids
Here is my daughter on me in the "before to Bed ritual"

All the best
Victor

So Steven - apparently your hobby is raising dandelions? Quite a crop you've got there.

;^)

Oh - and the kids are cute, too. I won't go into what hobby they came from.

When not working on my beloved HP9000's I tend to like playing with those microsofty computerish type things although I do have two "D" class HP9000's at home for light relief (does that count as computers ?) Otherwise its walking the dog with the family along the river bank and watching DVD's !!

Prior to the birth of my daughter (whos luvly)5 years ago I did have a bit of a life playing guitar and harp in a blues/rock band but those days are past never to return sob sob - History buffs can see details of my sad little life (with some pics , mp3 and wmv video) somewhere in here -

This is a wonderful thread. I love seeing everyone's family. You all got beautiful kids. As soon as I get home, I'll post a picture of my two hobbies. But when I don't take care of my children (please read, when my wife has had enough of me yelling at them, she takes them away *hehe*), I love to do jigsaw puzzles. Since the kids, I found it harder to keep all the pieces in the same room, but I still make them. *LOL*
