What are your other obsessions?

[Park Chorong]

Many years back I collected a lot of CD albums. Now I collect just blu-rays from 1 of my favourite band.

 

[Smooth_bass88]

atheism, MLB, muscle cars… all in small doses though because being a bass player takes up the bulk of my time

 

[shoot-r]

Not sure I can say this on the T.B. forum now adays, (so if I offend ya, go to the next post, OK?)

Competition shooting:

3-Gun matches, IPSC, NRA Police Pistol Combat, NRA Bullseye, NRA long range rifle, (and my main discipline, Action Pistol/Bianchi Cup.)

I'm also a NRA certified master range officer and assist in local municipalities and county's LEO training and qualifications.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention bourbon. As a Kentucky Colonel it's more like a labor of love.

very nice!

Fishing, fresh & salt water. I'm nearing retirement and my goal is to get involved in full time ministry. God has been overwhelmingly good to me and I want to give back in anyway I can.

 

[c5hokie]

Not really an obsession (like bass and bass gear is), but I really enjoy bourbon and rye whiskey, and look for things I haven’t had before, and sharing with friends and family.

I should have mentioned bourbon too. Don't have any photos, but I've got about 50 bottles, including many hard to find (at least here in VA) bottles. I am jealous of the Pappy, as that is lottery only here in VA and I haven't managed to get any yet.

I dabble in high-end car audio (sound quality, not "boom boom boom"), although my addiction to poverty greatly limits how far I can go with it.

1658 days ago I asked the same question. I though it might be fun to ask it it again since 1) there's lots of new folks here and 2) the old-timers might have new obsessions.

As for me, I still love baseball (go Braves).

I'll never stop being interested in astronomy; I did a public-outreach "sidewalk astronomy" session just this weekend.

I still like photography but its not quite the obsession it was. I haven't used the B&W darkroom in a few years; maybe its time to take it down.

How about you?

‘Family is #1. The Pittsburgh Steelers. Politics, and the total disregard of conventional wisdom, in that order.

 

[Bag of Lazers]

Star Trek (Sci-fi broadly, but ST is my favorite)
Arsenal FC
Fishing (not an obsession, just a hobby I'm bad at)

 

[PBandJazzBass]

Philosophy and coffee.

 

[YourGuitarist]

I love baseball and Hockey (go Pioneers! 10x NCAA champions)

I shoot Trap and play with cars

Are you DU alumni? I'm finishing school there now.

 

[stringthrough]

Astrophotography. Here is one image I took from my backyard using my scope and cooled camera (keeps the thermal noise down).

 

[FSGrind]

Skateboarding

 

[guitarflinger]

Scratch building and flying radio controlled airplanes.

My latest build (Covid project)

Wow VERY nice. You can’t just post that picture and NOT cough up the details! Camera, mount, processing, all that stuff!

 

[Todd Hamby]

Another Braves fan here (my son’s middle name is Maddux)!
Running (I’ve done the Boston A few times)
Cycling

 

[jnewmark]

I have been into growing succulents, mostly cactus.

 

[Rdore2000]

My day job is conducting interviews with pro wrestlers and tv stars. I'm a Walking Dead superfan too if that counts.
