Apart from my music I breed exhibition Budgerigars. Here is a 4 1/2 week old Opaline Skyblue Spangle hen. I thought it might be nice to know what our fellow inmates do for a hobby as some of us might also have the same interests. I imported 20 birds from England to Australia in 1993 and I am still running with the same bloodline after all this time. Come on let us know what else your up to.

      I had most types of fish at one stage or another, including lots of marine fish.

      At the moment, I have a tank full of African's (Electric Yellows) that keep breeding and keeping the tank well stocked :-). I also have a small tank of fish that like soft acidic water (tetras mostly, plus a discus - my first try with a discus - they can be finicky)

  .......I can spend a lot of time and effort to get a few photographs. Here's one I took a couple of weeks ago, while returning from a trip into the American Southwestern states of Utah, Arizona, Nevada, etc. I was up for the sunrise because I had driven through most of the night, then slept a few hours at a rest stop off the interstate, awaking in time to catch this sunrise not far from the Tri-Cities in Washington state.

        A great car too Steve! I used to have a bimmer, 2002 tii, that was much like the 510. They sparred often in their day.

        The SE-R is one hell of a car. Very well balanced, easy to drive, virtually bulletproof, and hard to get into trouble with it. It's a great starter car.

        Then, you can warm it over (SSC or ITB or better) style and it's a giant-killer. I used to rip up E30, E36, and even E46 M3s with it. Of course, I had an overboard suspension (poly/coilover/braced & triangulated), terrific brakes, and a warmed-over JDM SR20VE with 230bhp.

        You autox'ed a Mini? Wasn't that sort of like wrestling a bear cub in a phone booth? =;-) Must've been fun!

    I design racks too, but have them built as I have neither the facilities, tools, nor skills do it myself. The shelves, a DIY Symposium recipe, I built myself though. I'd love to replace them with Neuance shelves. Maybe if I win the lottery?

      Thanks. Yup - very Z-design. Isolated shelves on the "important" audio stuff with an integrated shelf design on the other (except the top). I'm an engineer - I have as much fun designing as building; plus, it's great combining two hobbies.

      Your design looks real nice - looks like cherry as the structure as well (with some mortise and tenons) - can't go wrong there.

        I hear you about the design & build. I'm no engineer, but I did enjoy the months of research and learning before designing the rack.

  My home is a 115 year old farmhouse. So far I have:

  Rewired it.
  Re-plumbed it.
  New doors and half done with new windows (as finances allow).
  Laid 5 rooms of Pergo.
  Painted every room at least twice (wifey).
  Built a custom maple banister with features that match the rest of the mill work.

  I Chevy-fied a '91 Jeep YC last year on the request of my Father-In-Law with a 350 Hp crate motor and a TH350 transmission. (FUN TO DRIVE!).

  I moonlight in a record shop.

  Audiophilia is my main hobby right now.

  But, there are so many interesting things to do in life, but here are a few of my other favourties.

  I recently sold my warmed-over '91 Sentra SE-R. Here's me in turn 3 at Mosport.
  

  

  Our two most recent acquisitions - a Haring and a Kandinsky.
  

  

  
  Here are some pics of Paris, where my wife and I went for a long weekend this year.
  

  

  And Tortola, were we took the kids for spring break.
  

  

  This is fun! It's great to see what everyone else here is into. Thanks for starting the thread, Olly!

      We're in the process of getting it authenticated as we have neither provenance nor history for it. It was found in a small shop in the Baltic states and I picked up from Germany.

      Hi Biff,

      Luckily I live in NYC and have access to places like B&H and Adorama that are very well stocked and are also cheap. So I can buy locally just about any film that's available, and yes there many, many kinds available even if some of the classics like Techpan and Agfa APX25 are no longer. There are also some online sites that offer great selection and prices (in addition to the above's online stores), I buy film from J and C photo which specializes in B&W. I still use more different types of film than I should but for B&W I use mostly Agfa APX100 and ADOX 25 (from J&C), and for transparencies I use Kodachrome 64 and E100 films.

      Thanks for the comments. The cemetary photos are from Fort Rosencrans military cemetary in San Diego, my grandfather is buried there (Marine General).

      It's a smallish art museum in Omaha, NE that has a pretty broad collection of really nice pieces. My wife and I moved from Philly (and both work here) because it was getting too expensive.

      Curators can make more, but not at my age (28), and with at least one PhD. I love my job, though, and it's perfect for where I am in my career.

      That was probably more information than you asked for, but I was just thinking about museum employment, so you caught me at the right time...

        Sometimes it's not about the money. Most times, actually.

  Sometimes you gotta take a minute and hand it to the wife. She really puts up with a lot--- and has a great sense of humor.
  Here's the Mrs & I, getting just a little 'lit' before a night out on the town.

Building this rifle was fun. It started out as a 1913 Mosin-Nagant. It weighs twenty pounds, and has various modifications to the mechanism.

I like building computers, too. This dual cpu one has custom heatsinks that took almost as long to do as the rest of the computer combined.

Cooking out. I installed the grill, and made the vent hood.

  Did you do any of the machine work yourself. I really want to start taking some classes in machine work so I can take advantage of my brother in law's shop.

    My idea of machine work is to send it to InDaGroove, or in the case of the rifle, I got my friend Boris to make the scope mount. He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, so he was competent enough for the job. ;) It's a damned shame I can't get him interested in turntables because his field is harmonics. He designed the muzzlebrake for Soviet tanks, but now he designs robots to assemble cars. There is nothing better than a PhD machinist who has an R&D cleanroom at his disposal, but his time is limited, and he doesn't like records. The heatsinks for the computer were made by me with a drill press and a belt sander, and I did the rifle tweaks by hand. That's as close as I come to machining anything.

      That built a working 7" gage steam locomotive (a 4-8-4 NYC Hudson no less) with nothing more in the way of machine tools than a big drill press, a very old lathe and a bandsaw.

      You do nice work!

I have always have more hobbies than time or money to pursue them. One of them is bookcollecting. Behind the drinking party (no, I'm not in the picture even if this is my 50 years birthday party) here is small part of our (that's me, wife & chihuahua) science fiction collection. Our apartment is really full of books. My study is mostly filled with LP's but I have also succeeded to stuff in hundreds of music, maritime and computer books and reference works on science fiction.

    He was in fact was writing about the party to a Finnish science fiction forum. I was probably in my study with some more musically inclined friends trying to get them interested in vinyl playback.

Photography and Whitewater Kayaking.
This isn't me but a guy I saw on a local river. He is making this "move" on purpose. It's really hard to do in a boat that big.
I snapped the picture from from the bank.
Nikon D70
