My Non-Automotive Hobbies

Hi everyone, i'm kinda new here, have gotten lots of good information from this forum. I was just wondering what everyone's NON- Automotive hobbies are ?
Me and the wife love to haul our travel trailer ( 2002 f150 5.4 super crew cab) around and go camping. we love that truck, its the first ford product for me, but definately not the last.

She likes water gardens, and fish ponds, of which we have 3 in our back yard ( yea i know, lots of digging) and her flower garden and winter sewing ( planting seeds in all kinds of stuff, from 2 lire bottles, to milk jugs, to meat trays lol). I am a 24 yr veteran of our local fire dept. 1 yr and i'm in the drop program!!! Then we plan to travel as much as possible.

Computers! I'm a geek(++)... other than that, getting out and running, or just sitting by the lake (reading, writing, or thinking)...

Hey Nubwon! Congrats on one more yr. till uretire! I only have 14 till they sound the last alarm for me! AAAAaahhhhh! I like to build furniture out of cherry, walnut, white oak, bird's-eye maple and gift stuff out of exotic wood like cocobolo, bubinga and leopardwood. When I can't make sawdust, I'm playing with mine and neighbor's kids, working on projects or working O.T.................

I was looking for a hobby and was advised to find something I enjoy that could also be profitable. Following those guidelines, I thought I had found the perfect hobby until I found out that being a pimp is against the law.
