What other hobbies and interest do you guys have? I love riding pwc's, but living in Indiana I can't do it all year long.
My other hobbies include guns, collecting old mowers, chainsaws, my trucks and working on my house.
So what do you guys/gals do on the off season?
 
I'm in the welding/fabrication business 30 yrs. Since business has slowed this year I keep myself occupied designing/building different fun projects
I just bought an old golf cart for use at the lake in the summer. I 'm looking foward to modifying it over the winter.Rebody,lift kit,wheels and tires,etc.:cheers:
 
I enjoy working on my SUV and showing it off:hurray: but down here in Ga i can do all year round
 
Boating, Motorcycles and Cars. I own a Motorcycle website that caters to streetfighters and stunters part time but work down on Wall Street full time.

Really anything with an engine haha
 
Guns!

Banshee,

What type are you? WWII, modern arms, pistols, shotguns, rifles? Competitions?
 
Here are some pictures of my other hobbies.

My chainsaws.

I cut wood for a outdoor burner, so why not make it fun? I have modded saws and old vintage saws. I even race them when I can.

My guns

Most of my guns are modern. I like the "black" stuff a lot, but due to the crazy prices of ammo. I'm getting into target shooting more and more. Target shooting takes less ammo.


I also collect old mowers, but I think I've posted enough pictures for now.

So you guys who have other hobbies, what about some pictures of what you do? We all like pictures.

Banshee, How do you like your Carbon 15? Those were the rage a few years back and then they got very inexpensive. I don't think the company is around anymore.....

Professional Ordanance was the company that first came out with this gun and I had a carbine one and love it. Light accurate, well built. They did have problem with breaking at the barrel nut. But they had a life time warrenty that went with the gun. And yes they were expensive, for an AR's anyway. I gave 1200 for mine carbine and it had a retail of 1800, but the gun shop was tired of it sitting there so have me a huge discount.
Bushmaster bought Professional Ordanance and started making them as Bushmasters, but it's the same gun. They dropped the price way down and will make good on any gun made by Professional Ordanance.
My pistol is the Bushmaster version and it's great, it's made of carbon fiber and metal alloys. Doesn't ever rust and won't need lubed ever. I lube it anyway. It's also very light.
The only down side to these guns are they are very loud. They have a compensator type tip that is way louder than any "birdcage" style tip.

As much as I like the gun and Bushmaster, I wouldn't take it over my Stag built Smith and Wesson AR though.
 
Computer business. Computer industry at my primary job.

RC cars, RC planes, Camping, boating, etc

Working on cars and fixing stuff any time.
used to have a 71 ford maverick that would run 14.1 at 98mph in the 1/4 but sold it . :(
 
Lots of guns, but I reload and shoot pistols mostly. Currently shooting Kimber Ultra CDPII in .45 ACP mostly.

Boat (and wakeboarding), jetski, currently working on my dad's motorcycle.

Long time hobbies include surfing, snowboarding when I can, and this...

The main job is installing/servicing clean agent fire suppression systems. The hobbies would be riding the 97GTX and the 96 SPX along with the 20' Mariah open bow. Then there is the restoration of Triumph sports cars. We have 4 of them, one for each of us. A 66 spitfire, 63 TR4, 74 TR6 and a 77 spitfire with GT6 running gear.
