Not a damn thing. Music is my only hobby. I mean, I like to go to the beach, hang out with friends, watch Law & Order and all that shit but nothing I'd call a hobby.

This forum also takes up a bunch of my time between posting and the admin duties, almost like a part-time job. I love it though :love: So I guess that would be a second hobby but still related to music somehow.

I already feel I don't dedicate as much time as I'd like to music, can't even imagine squeezing another hobby in there.
Guitars:
'78 Les Paul Pro / '89 SG Special/ '04 Gibson Les Paul Classic 3 pickup / Jackson Star/ Endres Tele / Fernandes Rhoads/ ''74 Hohner MIJ strat/ 2 Partscasters

Amps:
Depends on when you ask. I got tired of constantly updating this section lol

Cabs
Marshall 1960A w V30s/ Seismic 2x12 w Redback and V30.

In the summer I love snorkeling, I am fortunate to having an amazing beach 5 min away.

Part from that most of my time is family work and study.
My main hobby at the moment is trying to find a good paying Job in London.

I've played disc golf for a few years.. I'm not any good at it, but it gives a reason to go for a few hours walk in nature once in a while. Also it got rid of my chronic lower back pains. :thu:

I spend an awful lot of time in Lithia park. Huge sprawling park full of trees and trails. My kid loves it. We run on the trails and play and whatnot.

Been lifting for a couple of months now really consistently. Got the bug again. I enjoy the hell out of the feeling I get after hashing myself at the gym.

Cycling, yoga, lightweight backpacking, though I haven't been doing any of those lately. Options A and C can both feature pretty extreme GAS. I also used to spearfish. I sort of started to pick up photography, but I don't think I can afford it.

My hobby is figuring out how to get paid. I swear, I feel like an old gangster rapper of the 90's. My life has started to evolve around making money.

I get these ideas for new businesses, then go to my small little shed/room and produce products on a small scale, develop things, etc.

I can sell 3 or 4 amps locally tomorrow. Guys who gave me business cards and want me to build for them.

I have zero time to do it. I like to build when I feel like it. When I feel like creating something awesome. If I start doing it simply to make money it becomes a job, not art.

Regular jobs are for making a living.

Cycling and cars. I also plan on getting back to surfing next spring.

It's kind of weird having all the toys you ever really wanted.

golf (totally OCD'd out - can't say publically how many times played this year or my wife would have me committed); fishing, woodworking & shooting have all taken a back seat.

Health/fitness/lifting.

Seriously the only thing I've ever gotten as into as music.
Music is still #1, I'll skip the gym for a gig any day, but fitness has landed at a close second.
Such a rewarding hobby and really makes the rest of life much easier to handle both through just feeling better and having more energy and through the discipline earned from it.

Before that I used to brew beer and got pretty damn good at it.

I'd probably have another hobby if I had fucking time for it. Working 45-60 hr weeks, plus 5/6 days a week in the gym, plus practice, plus writing, plus having a girlfriend and a social life and I've got literally no time left over for a hobby.
Guitars:
ESP Eclipse, JR Tele, Gibson LP Tribute, Gibson Government Explorer S I/II, Yamaha FGX830C, Balaguer Goliath, Squire Jazz Bass
Maps:
Egnater Armageddon, 5153 50W Stealth, Quilter, Ashdown RM500
Cabs:
Bogner 4x12, Bogner OS 2x12, Randall MTS 2x12, Eden D410XLT

Other than guitar, just reading. I read a ton. And that doesn't really suck much money, what with used bookstores and the fact I can borrow ebooks from the library. I don't even have a TV. Well, I technically own one, but it essentially functions as a video game monitor for the kids. No cable.

But guitar has been pretty much my only hobby since I was in 9th grade. To hear me put it that way, you'd think I would be a better guitar player by now than I am, given the 10,000 hour rule and all. :lol: :cry:
"If there was only a way that I couldn't even any less than I already can't then I'd gladly not, but I think I've entered some quantum paradox, dark matter levels of can't evening where the total absolute value of not evenness exceeds all ability to explain the can'ting." - MR RUBATO

Skateboarding is my #1. Guitar second.
I like to fix things too. Home and vehicle improvement shit. In the midst of restoring my '74 Silver Streak travel trailer right now.
Fitness type stuff. Was into fighting/martial arts til my mid thirties when I got too beat up. :) My daughter is on the Jr. High cross country team, so I've been running a lot the last couple of years. Gotta keep up the adrenalin and endorphins. Yes I do.
Plus my job as a land surveyor keeps me pretty busy about 40 or so hours out of the week.

If you are near my age(40) and still skating hard, good!!!!


I slammed too hard a few too any times in my late twenties/early thirties when I didn't have any health insurance. So I pretty much retired. Brusied ribs always feel broken and seeing stars and butterflies a couple times too often made me think twice.

Which was sad actually. Because Skater Island was one sick park. The snake run and the bowl were some of the best workouts I've ever had. I felt great after the session. But the next morning, my quads would be blazing and sore.

My biggest hobby is reading... Books, things on the internet, anything that catches my attention. As an avid reader, I feel compelled to write as well. Beyond that, video games, mainly those that involve many other players.

My hobbies are done on the cheap/free mostly. Music is the only thing I ever really drop big coin to do, and even for that by GAB standards I am well into the cheap.
