    From what I've heard, human females do that to human males too when they do nothing but lay around the house and goof off, won't work, won't even feed themselves unless they have to, make a lot of noise, and live only to chase girls.

    Cooking, snowboarding and telemark skiing.

    Wish I had more time for hobbies.

    I am an uber-watch nut (a WIS AKA watch idiot savant), are you a member at Watchuseek?

    I honestly have too many hobbies.

    diving
    cycling
    climbing (rock and alpine)
    audio/video
    watches
    beer
    scotch
    cars
    boats
    deep sea fishing
    and the list goes on
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    I used to be a big N scaler and when I lived outside Spartanburg I used to go to Rail and Spike before Mike (I think that was/is his name) bought it. I got out of the hobby about the time he bought it.

    I am ilitig8 and have a few more posts there than here. It is an interest that my wife shares, which is good because she doesn't try to keep my spending in check (since she wears many of my watches) and bad because she doesn;t try to keep my spending in check.

    Both Seiko and Hamilton have some of the best values in watches, I have thus far avoided a Grand Seiko despite Domo's best efforts, I assume if you are a Seiko fan you are familiar with Domo on WUS.

    I like Chrono24. I am a neophyte in watches, but also prefer the technology and craftsmanship over the brand. Curious what do you think of the Tag Heuer Carrera 02T?

    For many years I was really into plastic models. 1/35 & 1/48 WWII armor and ac.
    Fishing was a close second.

    Now it is reading, and turning hardwoods into expensive kindling.

    The wife & I also like browsing flea markets and antique stores.

    I did award winning plastic cars while a tween/teen "back in the day". It was pretty enjoyable, too. Sadly they were all lost when the 'rents moved many years ago.

    In addition to woodworking, I do metal working. (sheet metal)
    I also teach ballroom dancing with my wife, two days a week.
    No PHD, but I have a DD 214

    I never pondered we would have our own Fed Astaire in the SMC forum.

    I have one sitting on my desk in the basement right now. Its a model of a 55(?) Chevy like the one my dad and uncle raced in the 60's semi-professionally. Dad bought the model when he retired but never finished it so now its on my todo list. I probably haven't done one in 30+ years so its a little intimidating since I want to do it right. One neat thing available to day is inkjet decal paper so I can do the lettering to match the pictures of the real car (which thankfully is simple!)

    Yea, the inkjet capabilities of today can be wonderful for model-making. "Back in the day", it was all wet transfer "decals" including assembling in layers if you were trying to duplicate something. "Twicky"!
