+1 Especially when you go with the "sporty" import models :lol:

It also gets progressively more complicated.

Dartanion, that's cool. Like most people who get into homebrewing, I also love Belgians. Did you mostly bottle or keg?

yep, more guns here....though six-shooters, colt & winchesters, cowboy guns....I think we all know who to call now if the world goes to hell, almost a small army in this group.

traveling around the world. Asia's always good......women, good food, rebuilding wurlitzer electrics.

then theres the cheap hobbys, the vegtable garden, building offshoot guitars.
it really is a journey, and you just cant farm out the battle wounds

Hobbies on hold, got quite good at these:
IPSC shooting - 45ACP
Reloading
Pistolsmithing
Sailing (lived with my wife on our 37' sailboat for 10 years)
Jewelry making
Home brewing (all-grain, excellent quality)
Antique cuckoo clock repair/restoration
Guitar building
Photography (turned into a business)

Current hobbies:
Learning amp building and repair
Vintage sports car restoration (Lotus, Alfa Romeo, Triumph)
Engine building (same)
Welding
Playing guitar
Fixing all our business equipment that breaks (field biology equipment)

Wife and house have resulted in a reduction in hobbies, but that's OK.

Next is to learn how to use my Tektronix 485 - I need a tutor!

Marriage is like a 3 ring circus:

First the engagement ring

Then the wedding ring

Finally the suffering!
