What do we do for hobbies?

[Chris]

Obviously everyone here shares one hobby in common: our Wranglers.

However, I'm curious what everyone else has in the way of hobbies?

For me it's anything computer related (building computers, repairing computers, programming computers, etc.), guns, bodybuilding / fitness and last but not least boxing (which may actually be my number one).

What about you guys?

golf and......ready for this? Working on my jeep (and friends jeeps) and doing Moab and the San Juan Mountains (think Ouray area) but not this time of year, just jeep projects in the warm garage.

Outdoor stuff...camping / fishing / exploring / hunting. The Jeep and the Suburban are tools to enable that. My other hobby is reloading and shooting. I cast my own bullets and reload for various firearms. I can make my own primers, though I don't very often because they are extremely corrosive. I can make my own powder, but don't very often because it's not all that safe. Some of my reloading practices are pretty exotic, including paper patching cast bullets for a 458 Win Mag. The cream of 1870's shooting technology, that works surprisingly well in a modern rifle. I also shoot cast bullets in a gas operated semi-automatic rifle. That works well enough that I don't buy ammo for that rifle any longer.

I pretty much spend all of my free time in the wildest places I can get to.

In my younger days, hunting, fishing, 4 wheelers, snowmobiles,. I still have my guns, but no more wheelers or snomobiles. lately I've been having fun bartering on Craigslist.

I do that all the time, I love bartering!

When I'm not working, I play dungeons and dragons or video games. I make my own jewelry, solder and cast my own charms.
I also do some coding on the side, as well as archery and recreational shooting. I cosplay too if that's not to weird here, part of the reason I fell in love with the tomb raider edition.

What's cosplay? Don't think I've ever heard of that.

 

[Serbonze]

In my limited free time I like to take defensive shooting classes, read science fiction novels, crossfit, and hike with my dogs.

I used to play but stopped in the early nineties. I still read the Forgotten Realms novels, although I have to admit the Sundering really turned me off.

People dressing up like characters from video games, books, and movies.

 

[CasterTroy]

Enduro riding, firearms training, autocross/roadracing, camping, hiking, anything that keeps me outdoors. Can't stand watching sports or Nascrap, but will participate in 24hr endurance races at VIR in a heartbeat when asked.

What's cosplay? Don't think I've ever heard of that.

It's basically dressing in a costume as a fictional character and going to conventions for anime, video games and such.

What's weird about that? Sounds like fun. Not much different than Cowboy Action Shooting, and they demo'd that at the Olympics...

Working on Jeeps, reading good books (currently reading The Generals), good music, enjoying single malt scotches, ham radio, and previously, a hobby even more expensive than Jeeps, flying single engine aircraft as a private pilot. Loved doing aerobatics.

My son bought a Cessna and is taking pilot lessons. That's him flying solo over my house today

Not as expensive as owning an aircraft... Crap... I know a few people who own them and the cost of maintenance, upkeep and storage is insane.

Though, I wonder if it's as bad as a boat... Probably worse, but boats are money pits!

How cool, there's nothing like the exhilarating and challenging process of getting a getting pilot's certificate! He bought the Cessna before getting his certificate (license)?

 

[UPJOHN]

He bought the Cessna before getting his certificate (license)?

Yes, he's using his own plane to do his flying time. He has two partners that share ownership.
It is an expensive hobby.

Technology, I love Apple.

For 10 years I worked in the tech industry doing Linux/AIX dev stuff. After switching careers, I want to use a computer/mobile device that "just works".

Jailbreaking iOS and playing with the tweaks is fun for me.

I mostly work.

I like guns, Jeeps, Apple products, stuff.

Something we have in common! I am obsessed with everything Apple! Heck, I'm writing this from my 5k iMac as we speak!
