    Besides blowing cash and time on your truck and this forum - whats your other hobby?

    Me, personally, I like to do home projects. We just built our house 2 years ago, but Im always tinkering!

    One of my more recent projects. Top photo is literally the day we moved in (dont mind the makeshift tv stand, ha). Bottom is after I built the fireplace, upgraded the base mouldings and add crown. You should have seen the wifes face when she walked in one day after work and I had 2x4's screwed into our 5" new oak floors and our ceiling. She wasn't thrilled....but now she's happy I did it haha.

    Coding.. though doing it full-time as a job for the past decade has kind of killed it as a hobby for me because it's mentally draining to sit in front of a computer for more than half a day.. each day.. including weekends.. but it pays well!

    Doing it as a hobby is what made me drop out of college (mainly because my GPA dropped to a 1.2) and got me my first career job without a degree.

    i'm what I refer to as a "serial hobbyist"

    I jump into a hobby feet first and spend all my money until I get bored and move onto the next adventure

    In recent years, RC trucks, guns, fishing of various styles, woodworking, kayaking, bows, and on and on

    Awesome! I took Krav for a couple of years and loved it. Earned my yellow belt and was working towards my Level 2 test to train at level 3. Went in one day and our gym was closed. Haven't found another place to train... we do have a Gracie Barre jui-jitsu gym that is close by. That might be next for me.

    Cant live without hobbies.

    Right now the order is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Spearfishing, surfing, mountain biking. They definitely change positions sometimes depending on the time of year.

    I'm also a tinkerer. Always have projects for the house and truck lined up on the work benches. I love being in the garage!

    I'm in the gym 5-6 days a week, mountian bike on the weekends, and boating durring the summers. I also like building and collecting Legos.

    lifting weights, guns, hiking with my dog. Pretty much anything playing with my dog, he's young and wild so he's a lot of fun to play outdoors with. Recently bought a house so I'm piddling with stuff a lot. I love to work outdoors with my hands, girlfriends Aunt recently lost her husband and lives on a farm and needs help occasionally so she gives me a holler to work around her house here and there, I really enjoy it. They had a tree fall on her house not too long ago, SO FAR $18,000 roof damage and they expect to get another check from insurance to cover more. So I went over and got a struggling to work generator going, got a tractor going, and cut some tree limbs and on and on. Besides the sad circumstances, that kind of work is fun.

    Can I hire you for my next house? You did an excellent job!

    I'd like to edit my post and include official taste tester for Brian's Traeger cooked meats :)

    By chance do you known Rick? 38" and has gone through about 5 sets of the Dirty thirty
