Mostly rifles and pistols, but I did a few shooting matches with shotguns (that involves a LOT of luck though). These days most of my so called "free time" is spent trying to get my finances to the point that I can retire in a few years. Maybe then I'll be able to have hobbies
again. :(

Quite a few people combine the hobby of shooting with retirement funding. You can see them all the time on the cop shows. :)


These days we hit a lot of concerts and beach events. I wouldn't say I have a "hobby" in the sense that I don't spend a great deal of time on any one event or pastime.

For the next month or so my "hobby" is going to be a remodel upstairs. Gutting the entire bath area with some minor wall changes, then replacing everything with new.

i am keen on playing chess , football, basketball , pro evolution soccer and online games like ikariam.

does anyone play ikariam too?

Clearly everyone has waaaaay too much spare time ;)

I like to play my guitars, but as I don't get to practise as much as I'd like, I just end up cursing my slow fingers for not having a hundredth of the talent of Matthew Bellamy.

Hooning, trackdays.

Is that what your partner tells you to cheer you up?

There was a time when I actually had time for hobbies, nowadays it's difficult.
2 weeks ago took part in my first bike 'marathon', 100 km, after not riding my bike for nearly 2 years. I will try to keep training as much as possible from now on.

Of course racing. I also like to watch other sports, video gaming, and special outings with friends and family.

Rallying, Rallying and more Rallying. When I'm not working I'm doing something either fixing a rally car, driving one or codriving or even sometimes officiating.

I do not have too much time to play except when I play with my son. When he asks 'Dad, do you wanna play with me?', 'No' is not an option.

During my short breaks I do some simple gardening, play mini-golf and darts, and do some history research. I almost gave up on racing, though watching Le Mans is still cool. I also want to fly a baloon at some point. I heard they offer it in Turkey, so I might go there in the future.
