Default Anybody have non-automotive hobbies/interests?

As far fetched as this may sound, I have other hobbies I participate in!

For instance, I enjoy highend audio equipment, read some novels (mainly non-fiction) from time to time, and do some gardening/yard work around the house. I have an extensive collection of video games and systems from: Magnavox Odyssey to Pong only machines to Colecovision to Vectrex to Atari VCS, Atari 5200, Atari 7800 to 3DO to NES, SNES, N64 to NeoGeo the list goes on and on. Pretty much anything you can think of I own minus an X-box and I own around 2000 games. Additionally, I make kick *** desserts like pies, muffins, cakes, etc.

Anyone else out there diverse also?

I played baseball for close to 10 years, I really miss that sport. I could have gone to the University of NewMexico and played there as my uncle knows the main coach there. My life was crap at that time so I didn't go. Golf makes me angry, I have a mean slice due to playing baseball for so long.

I think pretty much everyone on here enjoys kicking back a few beers from time to time...

I'm a regularly gigging musician although we've somewhat lessened our playing schedule as of late. I play bass in a modern rock/hard rock band. Lately we've been working on originals for our first professionally recorded cd. I also like to build guitars and basses. Aside from the music aspect I'm fairly big into computers. I build them, repair them, make house calls, and sometimes do network installations in my free time. There's alot stuff I like to do but those are my major interests including being a car/truck nut. Lately I've been Mr. Landscaper and working on our new house. I also really like to travel with my wife and so far we've been to Yellowstone Nat. Park and Glacier Nat. Park. Last summer we spent our 2 week honeymoon in Oahu and Maui.
