RC helicopters (BladeCP (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8311009713211121989) & unbuilt T-Rex (http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/gallery/36832/051125ao.jpg))
Driving trips with roadster pals
Product photography
Digital video & post-production
and lately, attempting to master the Steadicam Merlin (http://www.tiffen.com/userimages/steadicam_merlin_demo_med.mov)
Sometimes if I'm lucky, I get to merge 2 or 3 of those hobbies together (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7298698967271797498). ;)
At the periphery of the hobby radar:

Over the years (I'm 50 now) I've tried a lot of hobbies but the three I keep coming back to are:
R/C's - all kinds, cars, trucks, boats, planes, helis........
Boating - everything boating related - sport boats, PWC's (both stand up and couches), water skiing, knee boards, tubes, a bit of wake boarding, even kites a time or two.....
Golf - Best score - an honest 89. I'd love to be better but there's so little extra time and getting good at golf requires time. Maybe later when I cann't ski anymore.

:D Hey, i have to give her props. For all the times she came with me to the hobby shop, let me borrow money to buy an R/C that i didnt need, sat bored to death watching me and my friend race, and for pitting for me every now and then. Gotta love her for that!
XXWoodmanXX
07-06-2006, 06:22 AM
Woah. That IS cool of her. :)
I must say, my wife is very tolerant as well. I figure, so long as I'm still accomplishing 60% of my time w/ the kids and doing the "honey-do" list, and 40% R/C, she's content. ;)
BIGBADBOWTIE
07-06-2006, 09:31 AM
I have to admit .... my wife is VERY good to me as well. She deals with the long days at the dragstrip as well as the long days at the RC track. The key thing for me is getting her and the kids involved in whats going on. If I did not have them at the dragstrip with me I would never make it to the staging lanes.

Nice ceiling fan!!! :)
hahahah. I didn't even notice it. I love pictures people take inside because there's usually something random in the corner.
I painted the blades on the ceiling fan to match the walls... looks cool to me, but you can't really see it when they're on. Maybe I should have painted them black so when its on they'd smear to grey.
Thanks for the compliments guys.

NRA competitive High Power Rifle - current Master's classification in both across the course (200, 300 and 600yards) and long range (800, 900 and 1000yds), build and maintain my own rifles (got tired of others taking 6wks to 6 months and doing a poor job on top of asking high dollar for their work), and I load all my ammunition. Shoot a lot of pistol, but not competitively - just for fun!
'95 CBR600F3 - and '84 Yamaha RZ350 - been riding for 42 years, like to trailer bike up into the mountains and run the twisties up and down the mtns.
Slowly building a '71 Plymouth Duster - too slow for my liking, but thats life, lol. Lots done, lots still to do, work in progress.
Full time 40hr week job as a consultant working for Shell Oil as a consulting petrophysicist and run my own business part time usually working another 20-30hrs a week. Very PC intensive work - spread across 2 laptops and 3 desktops. Tough on hobbies time wise, but bucks are great!! Another 2 or 3 years and I'll quit full time and just work part time.
