I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

Anybody on here into other hobbies?  Drag racing, quads, sleds, bikes?  I will take pics of my toys and post them.  How about you?

Ok, here's a couple of my toys.  01 Arctic Cat ZR800 Limited Edition has a D&D 3 degree timing key, D&D y-pipe, clutched, V-force 3 reeds, and 192 Woody's studs.  08 Yamaha YFZ 450 has a  3mm stroker crank, custom intake, cam mod, and a +4 swingarm, and a DrD pipe.  08 Raptor 250 is my son's, and has a K&N filter and a GYTR pipe.  You can also see my old Bass Tracker TX17 with a 40 Mariner.  ON it's way down the road in the spring.....not big enough, or fast enough.

My first hobby is fishing of course.  After that I'd say my second favorite hobby is shopping and buying fishing gear!!
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

I think it is nice that we live in a State with so many outdoors opportunities.  When my bass season ends, it seems there are a lot of steelhead in the rivers until the end of April when I start chasing bass again.  In between I can sit in a deer stand or ice fishing shanty and think about bass fishing.

Computers and web sites ;D (and outdoor photography)

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

I used to have hobbies when i was single.  Now that i am married with a lil one, i pretty much just fish and play the occasional poker tournament.  I do like to make jigs and soft plastic baits tho.  even tho it is a business, i still enjoy doing it so i guess it doubles as a hobby.  Oh, and i like watching Deadwood!

building fishign rods and duck hunting.  i'd say drinking beer, but thats not so much a hobby as it is a way of life.

i do software development/websites for a living so if i do that on the side i still call it work. I actually don't like computers all that much - rather be outside i guess :)

Motorcycle Racing...I gave that up a few years ago because of injuries and expenses..Now I just trail ride when I have time...Lately I have been so busy with Tournament fishing, work and the family my bikes have been nothing but dust collectors....I can't bring myself to sell them though.....

I enjoy painting crankbaits.  When the NFL kicks in I guess you can count fantasy football.

Skiing and golfing for me.  Try to get out west once a year and take a "golf" trip with the guys in the summer.  However they always turn into a beer drinking vacation!

I couldn't afford hobbies until I had a wife and kids.  Too busy drinking.  We just had number 3 two weeks ago.  once I settled down, I got all kinds of toys and hobbies.  I will say, though, I spend more time fishing than anything.

dartag

soon as i get all the boats put away it is the couch for me.   got lots of fishing tapes to watch.  soon as the ice freezes there are lots of ice fishermen to watch.  never see them catch anything.  pretty much hibernate till spring.  Mccarter used to organize a HOOTERS outings in the old days.

think spring.

McCarter

ahhh the good ol days.  no one showed up to the last one.  i think there was 4 of us there.  booooooooo!  i would like to get everyone together for another, i will post in the next month or so and get the ball rolling.

That is awesome!  I used to drag race.  I had a 72 Nova.  It went in the 11's with a 355, then I built a wicked 408 smallblock for it.  That motor dynoed just shy of 600 horses, and was built for the 250 horse nitrous cheater kit that I had.  When gas prices went to 4 bucks a gallon plus, I sold my 24 foot enclosed trailer, then I sold the car, then I sold the motor.  That hobby with 3 kids and a wife just doesn't work.
