Hobbies you enjoy that DONT get you paid

Life is too short to not have a little fun!

Me (don't worry I'll keep it short and sweet!):

Glassblowing (well, actually flameworking), here I use a propane / oxygen / compressed air mix and a German torch to heat up rods of glass in to a molten state, mix them around a bit, and have lots of fun. The flame is about 5K degrees F.

Skiing: not much to report here, I tore my ACL a couple seasons ago, so I haven't been raging the mountain too much, but plan to get the surgery and be back on the hill next year.

Texas Hold'em: IMO, the best game ever!

Frisbee Golf: IMO, the best sport ever ;-)

And of course, all things "The great outdoors" Especially things that involve water!

Tim,
I think I caught a typo in that last word - change "p" to ...

    I agree, good thread! Good way to get to know some of you guys a bit better.

    I also enjoy offroading, 1989 Wrangler. I spend a lot of time and money fixing that.

    I enjoy rock climbing and spluenking, but don't get to do either as often as I used to.

    Computer games and learning are my other hobbies. I read about everything, though its mostly real estate or construction related anymore.

    I play lead and rhythm guitar, keyboards, and sing for my band. We play very heavy Christian rock, lead worship at a church that ministers to the homeless and down trodden in Ft Worth. I also write and record my own music in my home studio.

    Oh, and I love to spoil my grand children rotten then send them home to their parents.

    Golf for sure, such a relaxing fun strategic game.

    I also enjoy podcasting

    I enjoy snowboarding and do a lot of juggling.

    I also started hosting a circus camp for young adults a few years back and still running in California.

    I'm a huge Disc Golfer. I play 3-5 times a week and a handful of PDGA tournaments a year. Other then that I love to wakeboard. I'm lucky enough to have a buddy with a boat and we go out just about every Sunday.
