Exactly! Unless you have to drill a hole in the water that's a foot deep, it ain't cold!

Well true, it doesn't quite get "Ice Road Trucker" cold here

Some of my hobbies include:

35mm and digital photography - I've done a few weddings over the years, but I enjoy taking pics of cars at shows/races rather than dancing drunks at a reception.

1:1 Eagle Talons, Mitsubishi Eclipses and Plymouth Lasers, otherwise known as Diamond Star Motors or DSMs - Between my brother and I, we've owned more than 50 of them over the years. They're known for not being the most reliable cars, so you learn quickly how to fix them and always have spare parts on hand.

Vintage video gaming - I'm not much of a collector but I do have a few of the more common older systems that I enjoy using every now and again.

My other hobbies include photography, painting, and ceramics. I just finished getting an art teaching degree and am currently looking for a job in that field. I like to follow most motorsports, especially supercross/motocross, Nascar, and short course racing. But the only hobby I would say that trumps my R/C addiction is steelhead fishing (hence my username).

Man, I WISH I only had 1 hobby! I can't afford ANY of mine, let alone ALL of 'em...

Before we built our new house I use to be in alot more hobbies then r/c.

I had 2 jet skies, Towed them with my modified Skyline R33 GTR which I use to show & did a little track work with the GTR club.

Raced slot cars.

Chased women.

Aaaah the single life.

Running, Cycling, ah heck.. I'm working towards being a casual triathlete. My wife says that that should count as three hobbies by itself.

I have a lot of other interests that I'd like to explore, a lot will have to wait until the kids are grown, and maybe until I retire.

im a top level bing bong player.

LOL!

I have a 1991 Mazda Miata that is always in need of something or other.

I also play guitar, and have started to build my own instruments from kits. Done 2 so far, a Telecaster and a P-Bass.





(and obviously, cleaning up my workshop is not among my hobbies...)

And in the past few years, I've also gotten to really enjoy cooking. Nothing fancy, but I'm getting pretty good at it. Or so they tell me.

Winter- Backpacking, dirt bikes, camping, fishing, paintball (very little these days)
Summer-Sailing my Hobie Cat, fishing, relaxing
Year round-RC cars (off and on) Music, sewing (backpacking gear. nothing funny)
