I've had a number over the years from car racing, motor cycles, photography, and cooking which I started doing after I got married. Now the one hobby that I started the first time I drew on my families walls to today is painting and drawing. Now I do it for a couple of years then don't for a couple but eventually come back to it. Here is a taste of what I have done using a simple program called Paint Shop Pro, and Painter if you are interested New Dawn Micro - Gallery

Wow, those computer generated paintings are very nicely done, joec! My favorite is the blue whale mother and calf - absolutely beautiful painting...!

Hobbies? Whew...a lot of them.

We hunt, fish, camp..
I have so many honestly that I have to take turns with them...lol

You may catch me tanning a hide (I gotta really be in the mood), to relief carvings on gourds, to collecting coins, cooking, gardening, making jewelry out of copper wire. I'll even sit for days putting puzzles together, sewing, canning, woodworking.... We love to cook outdoors which I am a well skilled open fire cook. We also find time for photography and arrowhead hunting. There is something going on all the time around here...we also raise dogs. Just added a 1/2 pit 1/2 Mt. Curr (Hog Dog) to the fold a few weeks ago, till this morning we added 2 Reg English Coonhounds (Redticks)...

Then throw in 2 boys that are about half grown with what they are involved in, plus everyone working...we stay very busy...

I'm sure I've forgotten several things...LOL I'm kinda A.D.D and O.C.D....I have to stay busy doing something all the time, so my feet hit the floor running each morning.

Then there is the ATV and going to top top of some mountain...Any mountain will do.

Restoring this old Mod VP Race Boat

Finished this 1971 Schuster last Year.

Then I have my 7000 gallon Koi Pond

With work it is hard but I seem to get a few hours here and there.

One of the under ground shelters doubles as a bike room until it is needed of other uses.(A day I hope never comes)
Spent the winter get this one ready to play. Work is done all dressed up and no where to go but soon the snow will be gone.
Between the two I manage to ride 20-60K a year. A man has to have some escape time.

That is the nicest looking Harley bagger I have ever seen, and I have been riding bikes for 40 years. Beautiful bike, man!

homesteading, working, prepping, flying ... o and fishing and hunting and fly tying all though i think it all falls in some where else lol

 

[Smitty901]

When I want to feel a bit younger and just take off I dig this one out 1996 FB 16 years old still fun to ride and always ready.

This is an example of how you still live and prepare. The room is under ground poured concrete. It is a part of our plan, however it serves another use .
until the time comes. Then the bikes get rolled into another area to wait it out and the room becomes a need bunker.
In a very short time it becomes the armory.

I build furniture:

Hopefully it will warm up enough soon to be able to get back into the shop. The glue does not dry right if the temp is much below 50.

 

[MrsInor]

Inor and I learned how to make leaded glass for his furniture projects.
I was a textiles major back in the college days so I still sew, quilt, needle work, crochet (my hands can't knit anymore).
I also draw, sand paint, brush and ink, and color crayon with my 3 year old grandson.
Cooking and collecting old cookbooks from churches (some of these are hilarious).
Learning new skills - cheese making is my latest - we had some of my Farmer Cheddar yesterday at our belated Easter gathering.
Reading - especially prepper fiction, although mystery, science fiction, action/adventure are also good.

 

[Pepper77]

I collect rocks cutting and polishing and petrified wood so if you have any and dont want it I will buy/trade for it . I reload I like to build things , fishing and hunting and I enjoy reading .

 

[Wallimiyama]

I make booze! Beer, wine, mead, and I can distill as well. My friends definitely enjoy my hobby...and if everything goes into the tank...I'm pretty sure I could make a reasonable living doing it as long as the government wasn't around to put their paws into it.
