Just wait for a beautiful day, take out the fishing machine and enjoy a nice day with the family.

Re: What do you do for a hobby, when not IT.

Well, the kids are pretty much all grown up and gone so the only hobby left there is worrying about them. In my spare time I enjoy playing golf, watching American football, and home remodeling. All I have left to do is the kitchen and we will have redone our entire house (gutted, re-plumbed, re-wired, insulated, sheetrocked, painted, new roof, new siding, new windows). I think it would have been cheaper to build from scratch, but it's been fun.

For some reason, I'm unable to attach a picture, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

I have 5 kids. When not spending time with them, I collect coins.

This is one of my favorites:

Re: What do you do for a hobby, when not IT.

My hobby is imitating a hammer because i'm always seem to be banging my head against a wall!

Well my 2 kids take up most of my spare time, but i still love to go rockclimbing whenever i get a chance.

Allthough my latest project is to get our house lights running off a solar powered setup.

Got the garage circuits done so far and it's still standing :)

No pic's here ;( too cheap for a scanner.

But, I have an 8 year old son, and we both love the outdoors.
Fishing, Camping, Hiking.

My son collects rocks, and has quite a few. A 5 gallon bin of all different types.

Reading, driving. (Sunday drives to go-karts, it's all good).

I have a motorcycle by which I go around during weekends.

I have a linux desktop on which I do most of my work, research from kernel to some user level applications.

Re: What do you do for a hobby, when not IT.

Hi,

Great thread, Steve!

Well, I'm married and we have a four year old daughter and a 10 month old son, so I don't
have time for too many hobbies. I do like to go prowling around antique stores. I like
reading, especially about WW II and Winston Churchill. I like fishing and golf, but I rarely
have time for either one.

Here is a picture of my son, one of the rare ones where he isn't smiling. His sister had
this great idea of climbing into a large tub of stuffed animals with him, and he was just
about ready to fall asleep in there when I took this picture.

I would try to post a picture of my daughter, but if any of you are fans of the old
Calvin & Hobbes comic strip, well, you'll understand how hard it is to get her to give a
real smile for a picture.

Yeah, I read comic books too. Oracle calls them installation manuals.

Thanks, keep 'em coming. I would be most honored if one of the salad-headed elite came by and shared with us.

Perhaps they have no hobbies other than solving problems, which they are quite good at.

Hi,

I don't have kids, but have a large German Shepherd dog called Rebel, and a husband :-)
I read a fair bit, and do cross-stitch and tapestries.

I tend to sit and stare into the distance for hours on end and then .... v.occasionally ... see attached.

It helps having no wife and kids.
