I brew beer.  So do several others here, I believe.  Two hobbies of mine that can never mix.

I've also been known to take pictures of stuff, and play pub trivia.

practically anything outdoors or around water, camping, backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing

Strangely enough, I like working in the yard and on my lawn too.

Well, I have a 5 year old, a fulltime job and I'm working on my doctorate inbetween that so please add "Thinks about" to the beginning of each of my hobbies.

...Playing guitar (especially my 75th anniversary Gretsch)
...Restoring old bikes
...riding mountain bikes
...playing PS2
...reading anything not related to work or school.

Oh and I like to take pictures of bugs, but I don't have a macro lens so I have to be really sneaky and get really close.

I have a horse, so she takes up a fair bit of my free time.

Snowboarding in season... which is about half the year here.

I run... training for 10k race but can't quite stick to my program.

In theory, I paint, sculpt, and knit, but in practise I don't have much time for any of those.

Whenever the white coats make me get off my GS, I spend my hours plotting a way out of this small cell of soft white walls. They call me crazy..huh..you believe that?...they call ME crazy. Those bastards. They calll me crazy and call their bastard selves "doctors"...chicken-tors is more like it. Thats all they do is walk around jottin notes, barely speakin to each other for fear of removing each others phallus's from thier mouths.What do they know? I am not crazy. Crazy is waking up every morning to the same boring wife, dressing in the same boring suit, and taking the same boring commute to be the same boring doctor, at the same boring place you've worked at for the last same boring ten years. Now THATS crazy...  So what if I ride a GS500? So what if I live a life a bit less boring than some bastard doctors? I see them..you know? I see those bastards looking at my GS500. Pawning at her with those wishful envious boring eyeballs. I feel their lust for a quick ride, I can smell their desire for a romp around the hills sorrounding this place. I can see the slight sway of their bodies as they imagine hitting those twisties like a pro....but they know..they know what happens to those that touch..that molest my baby GS500. They all saw what I did. but I am not crazy..no..no..I am not. I didn't mean to hurt that boy. But he touched her. I saw him touch her. My GS500....My baby. I told them...Oh I told them alright...but noooo...don't listen to the CRAZY guy...I had to teach them ..I had to show them I was serious. NOBODY touches my Baby..NOBODY.

Brewing my own beer & drinking the fine amber fluid I make.

Competitive Muzzle loading/blackpowder shooting including rifle shotgun & pistol. I have to do all my own loads, moulding etc. so it takes up some time.
I do 1860's Australian reinactments, I get to play a bushranger & run around the streets with a shotgun. :2guns:

I go & watch my eldest boy play football every Saturday morning.
