Winter Hobbies

[JEFF4i]

Anything out of the ordinary? Besides skiing and golf.

We had a thread like this last year, but we have lots of awesome new members now! Me? I'm still doing my painting thing. Last year I painted up about...200 dollars worth of guys and then sold them for about 600. Wasn't worth the time I put into it, income wise, but enjoyable, played with them a bit, and the money funds some new clubs. In fact, it paid for the FT-i and Studio Select.

Here's some pics, my camera skills still suck though...

That reminds me of The 40yr. Old Virgin. So there's my "hobby", watch sports and movies.

LOL, this was my first thought when I saw the thread title. I live in a cold weather snowy state and don't ski, snowboard, hunt, snowmobile or anything that would otherwise involve me being outside when its below 35*.

SO... two words: Porn-O

Usually I bowl on several leagues. I have to take a year off to heal. Last year I guess I developed an ulcer. For some reason it hurts like hell to roll a ball. Feels like getting kicked in the side by a mule.

Doesn't hurt to golf tho.

The man is so insightful!!

This winter's hobby is quickly becoming 4 wheeling in the Jeep. Went for the first time last weekend, and now we're driving it to the beach for Thanksgiving so we can drive on the beach. Also found a 4 wheel area 30 minutes from our house.

Nothing besides as you mentioned, skiing & golf.
Wonder if I could somehow combine the 2? Devils Head is a ski resort & also a 36 hole golf course.

I actually need to get my rifles sighted in again, for the fun of it! Maybe go up to 500 with the SPS this time.

[Wi-Golfer]

Ah yes, rifles reminded me that I am supposed to head over to the local gun range sometime next month. Need to clean at least the 9mm before I go though. Haven't shot it in about 4 years & right now the cheap practice ammo wants to jam. Just needs a good cleaning & oiling.

Anyone else like the smell of gun oil?

[JEFF4i]

I do. I'm actually interested in a 9mm as my wife wants one. Any suggestions?

Don't know if it's qualified as a "hobby", but the SuperScrabble board is back out. Wife and I play lots of SuperScrabble during the winter months. With the larger board and additional tiles, a game takes 2 1/2 hours +/-. The daughters enjoy playing a game, when they're over. However, the grandkids don't allow for the req'd concentration for that long of a game.

Racin' cars on frozen lakes...

If you're going to have a winter hobby, at least have one that really requires some actual winter!

Every winter, since I moved out here to Iowa from Californai, I have tried a new Winter project...the first one, about 8 years ago was the bext...dabbled in club making..and now look where we are!

Since ten, I have tried art again( I used to paint alot when I was younger)....then bowling, wood working...all of them didn't hold my interest.

THis year, gonna be working in both the shops again, trying to find gainful emluyment since I was laid off two weeks ago...and work out.

Since May, I've gone from 46% to 28% body fat...gained a lot of muscle and have (according to the trainer) 10 more lbs to lose to attain my optimum weight.

Oh, and porn of course.
