Not me, just amps. My wife says I'm obsessed. I like to think I'm just highly focused!

Acoustic guitars, motorcycles and airplanes (balsa and RC) are enough to tie up my budget..

No idea how to find time to enjoy hobbies, these days. Work is good. But, hours can be long. Got some normal hours this Summer, though. Trying to get some bikes finished and out of my shop, and maybe start on getting my '76 FLH back on the ground, after totaling it in '04.

Guns for me too, I just forgot because I haven't been shooting in so long (especially after having 6 guns stolen last year..).

That one is going on 2 years old and I've yet to find time to fire it. .22-250 Ackley Improved varmint rifle. The other one above is a toned down version in .308. I'm still dragging out the .22 Hornet for the local varmints, as there are no long range shots to be had on the farm, these days. Too many people around the boarders.
