Obviously if you're on this site you have a love for that pretty yellow metal. Just thought it might be fun if we all shared other hobby/obsessions we are into when we're not thinking about moving dirt.
Myself....I'm into saltwater aquariums. I have been in that hobby for 4 or 5 years now.

Thanks Bob the handle is from antelope horn with brass deviders and fittings making the stripes in it. The blade from a Nicklsen High carbon file and than annealed it holds quite an edge.

Great thread! My main passion is playing hockey. I eat, sleep, drink and live hockey. I try to play 4-5 pickup games a week plus my league game. A pickup game is where players from all divisions play at a set time together so the best of the best and newbies all play on the same team. Last night was our leagues draft night and when I got home my wife said she was beginning to wonder if she was still married LOL. I don’t watch hockey on TV as it seems boring after playing. I started ice skating Thanksgiving 2010 never having skated before. Played my first hockey game with a LOT of encouragement from friends in Jan 4 2011. Got my first goal in my 3rd game and haven’t looked back since. 2011-2012 season I was team captain and voted most improved player. Placed 2nd in goals in my division with I believe 23 goals for the season. This year I have been invited to move up a division so will actually play 2 divisions now. Oh yea all this is done with 2 artificial knees and a pacemaker. WHOOP WHOOP. It's heck getting old. Had total knee replacement on both knees in April 2010 and am enjoying life all over again. Other than hockey I am a HUGH hunter and fisherman. My wife and I also ride ATV's a lot averaging about 3500 miles a year on them. We really enjoy our tin tent in our old ages when out enjoying the GREAT outdoors that Montana offers us. Other than that I really don’t do much LOL
I like to buy and sell used cars. I like to take fishing trips. I like to camp and relax.
Side Projects at Our house Include Knife Making stone sculpting Jane sketchs and paints some thing always around to keep ones hands busy !
Great thread Bob! Vince Gifford, President of Tesoro, has a huge saltwater fish tank in his office, and is really into it. I build paper and wood r/c model airplanes. Since I am great at building them - and even better at crashing them, I now donate my finished models to needy kids here in Westchester County, NY.
my son in law is into rc planes too and he is very good at crashing them to bits n pieces
Before I got to be old and blind, (how did it happen, it's only been something like 3 1/2 months since I graduated in 1961?) I did some woodcarving. Haven't done much since the bifocals came into my life.
jim there's no reason to let bifocals stop u from doing things u like .i also have bifocals ,the no line bifocals r the best. i still go enjoy prospecting and the outdoors. i especialy like being at a stream looking for yeller gold ,plus taking a break from prospecting to have a smoke and watch the animals come for a cool drink of water.
