Incredible owners hobbies

Hobby? This is my hobby, at least for now! At various times I've been involved in .22 silhouette shooting, defensive pistol shooting, and building computers. I ruined my favorite hobby- woodworking, when I bought a furniture repair business and went broke. I still have a great shop, but it just kills me to go work in it. :(
We have 6 kids at home, most with special needs, so I have very little free time. I love this phone, not just for it's amazing capabilities, but also for the little mind-breaks it gives me when I need an escape from the madness here at Casa de Chaos!
 
I'm a semi retired electronics tech, now splitting time between that and the family farm (inheriting it.) Like a few others I build PCs for myself and act as tech support for others. I play around with car stereo & home theater systems (professional audio systems was one of the things I install/troubleshoot). I've been slowly restoring a 1969 Olds 442 (costs a bit of money to restore a car that isn't a chevy/ford/mopar). I'm a huge music & tv/movie buff, and I like to read up on history, cars, & tech. That's pretty much it.

I'm actually just getting into shooting again. It's a lot cheaper to shoot on a farm than in the city. The last time I was into it was when I was in school (about 16 years ago).

In the last couple years I picked up a Para 1911 .45 (got a Kimber .22 conversion kit & switch back and forth), and a Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308 with a Burris 3-9x40 scope. After I aligned the scope I put 5 rounds in around 1.25". Not bad considering I hadn't touched a gun in 15 years. It takes me back to my youth, can't ask for more than that.
 
Camping, hiking, canoeing, kayaking and paintball (it's been awhile since I picked up a marker though...)

I like to build my own PC's and my Incredible is my new obsession.

Like a lot of the other guys on here I've got a bike (Triumph Bonneville), but seem to keep running out of time to get out and ride :(
 
photography... 5D MK-II with 24-70mm f2.8L/50mm f1.2L/135mm f2.0L.. sh...!! my wife has no idea how much do all these equipment cost..

golf... have tried a couple of golf gps apps with my Incredible.. and now i know my distance.. too bad... it's time take some lessons...
 
Target shooting, Fixing and modding truck, Slickdealer :), Boxing Fan(Q4 is gonna be good!), Addicted to the Internet, Love playing combat arms.. Gotta have my forum Fixes. Off Road fun! Expedition mainly..
 
I brew beer, make wine, and cook. When I am feeling really lazy I am a Stumble Upon addict.
 
I like to take long walks on the beach, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, fishing, hunting, camping(and I am not talking that bullshit travel trailer shit) things that are out doors since I spend my day at work sitting behind a desk and reading these forums. I also like to go off road driving and snow boarding. Pretty much anything where I can get lost in the woods I like. Really wish Garmin or some other large topo company would come out with topo maps for the android phones that just use the GPS and pre loaded maps and I could get rid of my portable GPS... So far all I can find is Back Country Navigator which works okay but is sometimes a lil buggy.
 
Let's see, my girlfriend always tells me I have too many, which I probably do:

Dirt Biking, Scuba diving, Wakeboarding, Cars, Firearms (sport, competition, hunting), started getting into Photography last year, Airsoft, Watches, Camping (outdoors in general). So many things so little money.

I really want to get into Skydiving, I've yet to go myself, but have always wanted to.

I work in IT (support desk/repair tech) like a lot of others here, but I pretty much avoid computers outside of work.

I feel the same way about the phone GPS software... then again, those little handheld GPS units are so cheap nowadays I might have to get one...
 
I enjoy camping, hunting, fishing and general outdoor activities, but can't seem to get out as much as I would like. I enjoy and do a lot of cooking. My big passion is theoretical physics and cosmology, especially super string theory.
 
Quite a few things;

Paintball
Karting
Rock Climbing

Have a new baby on the way as well which I'm sure will take up some time.
