Other expensive hobbies

@rossv1   Nice watches.  I like the look of the stargate.  Your dad's old Rolex is in great shape.

I used to have watches, my fav being a white faced explorer II.

Got out of watches - don't wear any jewelry.  I still appreciate other's collections though.

I am restoring a 69 GTO, and I am big into home theater.  The car has pretty much sunk all other hobbies.

Sure those are nice watches, but they ain't a Casio!

Wow, I never raced in the snow. I auto crossed and tracked my Miata until health issues forced me to stop.

Here's something to shoot for. My old man's collection after five seasons in punta gorda. 

im only counting 64 weeks there probably take me 5 years too, i know the gin kick will only last a few months before i have to change up. the tangauray is cheap now, under 30 a bottle

Demolition derby used to be my hobby.  I collected rust free mid-1970's Chryslers and built 'em & wrecked 'em.  This was my last car.  It looks horrible but I won.  

Years ago I figured I needed some other car(s) that would be worth more than scrap weight after I drove them so I started with classic cars. 

Here's my next project - a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner.  After 10 years of being in a car cocoon I swear we're going to get started on in next winter!

This was my 2nd entry into restoration.  It's a big block 1965 Plymouth Fury.  It started as a junk yard car hauled to Minnesota from Nevada.  Sold it 10 years ago and the guy hit a deer on the way home. 

And here's my 1970 Dodge Challenger.  It spend the first part of its life in Washington with a 318 and a 3 speed.  Now it has a fresh coat of Sublime, new vinyl top & interior and a 440 Six Pack and a 4 speed pistol grip.

@McStew , Nice.  Would you be so kind as to post some pics of your Cameron stuff?  Really like his stuff.

Mrs and I go to casinos.

I don't have many pictures, as most casinos don't allow them. What I do have is a few stories of big wins, and countless stories of losing a lot.

Some of my covers 

YEMTrey

Very nice.  Thanks for posting.  I currently only have two.  A newport 2 terrillium sole stamp and a newport 2 oil can.
I have some of the regular issue studio covers as well as the green, white and yellow masters covers, can't remember what year though.  I'll try to get a pic of my stuff.
Love the look on your white stainless.  That looks tough.

I have a few fly fishing as both my wife and I fly fish. Home theatre, photography, and a small hobby of video game collecting as my wife and I both love older retro video games.

For our wedding we did a fun wedding cake in that theme and most people thought it was one of the coolest wedding cakes.

Flyfishing on the White River in AR. 1200 mile round trip. Love every minute of it. Even in the rain, snow, bugs, mud and high water.

@1move Any rare games you own or is a little of everything you collect?

@WeberWho just stuff I liked when I was a kid. 

I have an Atari, a couple of NES consoles, an SNES, N64, Wii, WiiU, PS3 and 4. They rarely get used but still fun and bring back a lot of memories

YEMTrey

Me and a couple friends put some serious hours in on my N64 while in college.

GoldenEye, Star Fox, WCW vs NWO Wrestling, Top Gear Rally, and a FIFA soccer game, 98?  Whichever one had indoor soccer in it as well.  Good times.

@YEMTrey

If I was paid for the hours I spent on GoldenEye on the N64, I would not be working right now and would own my house outright.

Same here. Wave Race was a close second.

No Kart(Mario)?  Probably second only to 007 at our sessions. Lol

YEMTrey

For some reason or another, never really got into Mario Kart.

Surfing  has cost me a few jobs a good GPA and a relationship or two.

I would argue that you've gained more surfing than you've lost.  Cheers!
