What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?


Hello,
I was curious as to what other Hobbies or Interests do you have that also take up much of your time, energy and money or is Audio the only one for you?
Being a car enthusiast is definitely my first passion. Always reading about new cars and lusting after some classics.

For me, besides my interest in building a Audio System in the past few years, I am also a Car Enthusiast and Amateur Photographer (actually I hate using that term, more like a photo enthusiast because I consider myself a novice).
All 3 Hobbies have taken much of my time, energy and money. Sometimes I look back and think, wow, what have I done?
Could have saved all that money and time.
So I guess I should list my gear if I am talking about other hobbies:
Cars:

2016 Mustang GT 6 Speed (weekend car, a few modifications) and 2018 Subaru Forester XT (Daily Driver). Obviously both are performance oriented.

Camera Gear: Nikon D750 with Kit Lense, Nikon 50mm 1.8 Lense, Tamron 14-24MM 2.8G
Thnx

Road cycling. I had a custom frame built in England and outfitted it with all Campagnola Record equipment. The thing was like riding a bicycle made by Ferarri. With the steep frame angles, it was a very quick handling bicycle. Coming down the canyon twisties was a thrill. It truly was a precision instrument. Very stiff frame made from Reynolds 753 tubing.

Kinda curious....who built your 753 ?

Had a Raleigh Team Pro 753 (Ilkeston) a while back...truly awesome bike...that tubing in the right builders hands was magic. Btw the Colnago C40, was in terms of the gross flex characteristics, virtually the same bike ( though thankfully with slack angles that made it a joy for centuries....and oddly enough a rocket in sprints...and still railed corners...contradictory ? yes, what can I say, Ernesto was a genius...as was Gerald O’Donovan who was the major contributor to the design of the 753 bike tube set ).

Now on a couple of Colnagos, a Ciocc, and a GIOS V107....and of course all Campy equipped.

And yeah raced for several decades....now just toodle putting in the miles in the country....

Love to hear you city boys. Ride bicycles, motorcycles, fast cars and BBQ. Pretty impressive. Enjoy the smog, traffic jams and living on top of each other.

Out here its woods, hiking, hunting, archery, snowshoeing, skiing, kayaking and fishing. Kids can still go out and play safely. No gun control whatsoever, except you can’t have your deer rifle loaded in the rig during deer season. Probably the safest state in the nation.
Hey, a few months ago I made subwoofer model comparison. used famous brands and nonames for review.
I compared the characteristics and attached the Amazon, where you can read the comments. I hope it'll be useful for someone
It is great to see so many cyclists. It is undoubtedly the best aerobic sport for aging humans.
I also had a Bianchi Infinito. Great bike. It had Campy Super Record EPS. I had to sell it. Mountain biking destroyed my right wrist. I am now the proud owner of the only Motec wrist arthroplasty in the US. I had to go to London to have the surgery. In the US they just fuse the wrist. The Motec is not available here. Swemac the Swedish company that makes the Motec has no desire to bring it to the US due to the liability. Think we have the best medical system? 
Anyway, I had to keep cycling but wanted to take as much stress off my wrist as possible so I got a Specialized S Works Diverge Frame. The Diverge has a shock absorber in the stem. I built it up with Campy Super Record 12 speed EPS Disc and Fulcrum Carbon wheels. It is the ugliest bike I have ever owned but it rides great and the Campy disc breaks are the best I have ever used. I still have my original Merlin Extra Light. The best Ti welding ever done. It is indestructible. It has been all over the world and I can not bring myself to sell it. I also have his and her Richard Sachs frames. I think about building them back up but they need their rear drop outs re spaced.
Go tubeless! I have never had a puncture fail to seal. I do not even carry an inner tube any more, just CO2 cartridges. Just for fun I rode a punctured tire and put another 500 miles on it before I get down to casing and I never patched the puncture!  They ride better, are faster and you never have to mess with tires and inner tubes on the road. My wife and I have put a combined 4000 miles on tubeless without touching a tire lever. 
Edzyn, IMHO Tazio is the greatest race car driver of all time followed by Fangio and Senna. The 1935 German Grand Prix is the greatest race of all time. Tazio wins it in an outdated Alpha against much more powerful German cars from behind! Keep an eye on Max and Charles!
