Im in school to be a veterinarian. I work at 2 vet offices in town to pay to keep the lights on and I work as a bouncer at 2 night clubs to pay for my gun habit

Fantastic!!! We need a vet in the family  ;D

Right on, Mega!

And here I thought we were just a bunch of ol' gun farts around here.  <laughs>

Did the vet asst thing for awhile...don't get the vA and the bouncer job mixed up.  Pet owners are a bit sensitive.

I like Motocross, trail riding, street bikes (performance not Harleys), muscle cars. I also do quick draw single action practice, just for fun, not into the organized stuff, at least for the time being.

Just started with the acoustic bass guitar.  Been wanting to do it awhile.

Nice! Stick with it, the bass is terrific fun. So far i'm enjoying the journey through bass guitar, standard guitar, and piano and organ.

Thanks Matt!

It's been five days and my finger tips and wrist is sore, stretching out along those further spaced frets.

Cycling, road like that uno baller from Texas.  Hunting, deer, small game, preds, you name it.

For the last two summers I have spent a weekend riding across SC to raise money for Altzheimers at a pretty good pace.  I used to do the pro/am USA Cycling thing many moons ago.

That's cool. A friend of mine found almost 2 oz after the last rain we had. He was extatic. One of my favorite hunting spots is on the Trinity River in northern California. Prospectors are everywhere up there. Some of them hobbyists, some of them dangerous-creepy-extremists.

Two ounces is an excellent find. That's over 3 grand. He can now afford to build an LR308 or AR10 if he keeps the number of accessories down - LOL.

I fit in with the hobbyist crowd. No one is under delusions of striking it rich. It's just fun to find. However, I do pack a .45 on such trips due to the possibility of southern Arizona close encounters of the (illegal) alien kind, or just the plain garden variety crackpot. There are no cops just around the corner. Given the choice, my preference would be to vacate the area. Fortunately I've had no trouble to date.

Hunting, Saltwater fishing, scuba, camping, flying a black hawk (however since that is actually my job it may not qualify as a hobby), playing lotto and dreaming about all the guns I will own at least until I check the numbers, spending time with my kids-the wife too, cruises, BBQ (cooking in general really) I'm sure there is more.

Now that I'm retired, I get to 'play' in the woods & go fishin' a lot more.  I also enjoy gardening (even built a greenhouse).  I like spending lazy days smokin' meat & drinking a nice cold beer with my wife & dogs.    <thumbsup>

Thanks, Edge.  She was my winter project since my old one was too small to do venison jerky in any real volume (now I can do about 3 deer at a crack).

It will also do 12 briskets at a time. 

If you're close by, let me know.

I like to do landscaping and yard work.

Keep in mind, this only applies to my own yard.  <laughs>
