Haha! I oughtta change my signature so people don't get confused. I don't blame anybody when probably 90% of everybody here is male.

Fantastic pictures! Looks like you've had many adventures. Where did you take the last picture? I'm hoping one day I'll have a job or the finances that will allow me to go everywhere. I've got time though.

I just mean that the OP seems to imply that he has to spend the money on his hobbies. My enjoyment is far more valuable than the money spent. It's an investment in my sanity, it's not "taken". I'm sure I'm over thinking it. lol

I said that mainly tongue in cheek. I'm all about enjoying the hobby and keeping one sane, especially during crazy times. That's why they're hobbies, yeah? It's about the personal enjoyment.
 
I have come full circle. I started with cars/racing, went to dirt bikes, then bird hunting to bicycles, and now back to cars. Surprisingly, the bicycles cost more the the dirt bikes I use to ride. I just sold off my mountain bike to fund the transmission for my car. I was not riding it, and truefully, the friends that I rode with seemed like I was not worth the time to call to go riding, so it made it a little easier to let it go. I still have a gravel bike that I built from a frame up, and a road bike that I still hop on now and again. That said, the car gets all the attention now.

Old Bagan in Myanmar. We went everywhere before the kids started appearing!!! That second picture is just around the bend and up the hill from you. Lots of mountain top log landings, along the way, that you can fling clay pigeons off of BTW....

I grew up fishing, then hunting, and then I found cars. Other hobbies are Audio, Cowboy Action shooting, Cowboy guns, bicycles, carpentry, movies, and boats. We just lately acquired a 1957 Airstream Bubble to get around in the new world. No problem spending money on any of it. Pictures to follow.
 
Farming small with old collectors machinery. It can be a real pain when something breaks. I run all Oliver farm equipment.
 
For some people leisure is sitting on their ***. For me leisure is dring what I love no matter how tired I get or how much I sweat.
Th e part I can't figure out is when I get too damn old to do these things I love, if I have to sit on my *** doing nothing... I rather be dead!

Thanks, Dodge72. I thought I could get caught by writing, "he", but figured the 90% thing, as you mention. RRR must be telepathic, and figures everyone is. :lol: Hey Rusty, :poke:

It wouldn't be first time I've been accused of thinking too much. My wife says I'm too literal. No gray, just black or white. Can you believe that? :lol:

Speaking of gray, I like this song:

Back to our regularly scheduled program...
 
I collect old beer memorabilia mostly Hamm's stuff. I got a few things but it's the thrill of the hunt that keeps me in the game.

All things firearms related. I work at a range and also travel the Country teaching and competing in shooting events. Love the cowboy action shooting. I can go from rocking a black rifle one weekend to fast drawing an old six shooter the next. I also work for game and fish as a hunters Ed instructor. Teach reloading for NRA and whole bunch of misc NRA instructor tabs. I love to teach and compete. If it goes bang I am in.
