I'm sure many of us like wrenching on cars on the weekends, but what about the other hobbies/interests?

I'm a musician when time allows:





I work with guns (gunsmith of sorts) and enjoy shooting and collecting guns on my time off (and I hunt on occasion):





And I also try and brew beer as often as possible (which isn't very often lately...)



So what do ya'll do?

 

I am a photographer

Cool, I've always been wanting to get more into photography...I really need to get a decent camera.

 

If you are just starting get spend money on a good lens and a decent camera. I use all canon but, all major manufacturers make good equipment.

 

Joey, I really like that magazine-fed Remington... looks like a 511. I don't recognize the tube-fed one below it, but I want one! I'm always looking for a good .22 I don't already have (especially the Remingtons).

 

golf. And lots of it.




couple years old now, form looks better these days

 

I like shooting sporting clays!!!! When the wind isn't blowing a hundred mph in west texas.

 

Yeah its a 511P. The other is a Remington 341. Both are great guns.

 

I've enjoyed that the few times I've tried it, I'm decent at it, surprisingly.

 

I build models...










And I collect/restore classic arcade machines...

 

+1 on models

Those arcade machines sure bring back a lot of memories

 

Longboarding is my other release from the world. Love cruisin the concrete waves around town

Sadly i hvnt been in months due to work but thos coming weekend im doin a two day sesh with some buds. Pics to follow!

We love to cook and to travel (we are both retired) and we have studied Italian for about 12 years off and on.

 

I bowl...a lot. I used to be decent!

 

Dear god that soup looks awesome! What is it?

 

NO SOUP FOR YOU!

 

In Italian it is called Pasta e Fagioli (pasta and beans). My mother spoke Neapolitan dialect and called it Pasta Fazool. Brown a finely minced clove of garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1 pound of crumbled hot Italian sausage to the pot and brown it. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of tomato sauce. Add 2 cans of S&W Small White Beans (sometimes called cannellini beans), including the liquid the beans are canned in. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add 1 cup of small shell pasta and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan or romano cheese. Bring to a boil and turn down and simmer until the pasta is al dente. Sprinkle more grated cheese over the top when serving.
Enjoy!!
