A new hobby

Dear Scoobytruck,

I'm currently in the market for a new hobby ( besides the baja of course

). Problem is I have no ideas of what hobby I should take up. Does anybody have any ideas of a cool hobby that help feel my free time and add a dimension to my forever evolving character?

Luv,
-J

Hobbies are tuff. Do you like to collect items? If so, perhaps stamps or coins or those spoons which have a U.S. state on them. Do you like to build? Maybe woodworking (ala the New Yankee Workshop on PBS). Get a mountain bike and hit the trails.. or a kayak and hit the river! The sky is the limit!!

Photography is one hobby you can tie into other intrests fairly well - take pics of you baja or go nuts at a car show (this is what got me into it). If your a geek like me the photoshop end of things is a lot of fun. I also preferr to hide behind my camera rather than get my own pic taken at gatherings. Or home theater could be another toy to play with - movies rock on an 8'+ screen and having a beefed up home stero is allways a plus.

Car modeling!!! It rapes your wallet like anyother hobby. Go offroading. When you break stuff..knock on wood...you can spend money too. Bowling..what's more fun

Buy a really old car/truck and restore it... spend your rainy day hours on ebay looking for parts and the nice days working outside in the sunshine. Parts are cheap and when you score one you've been hunting down, it's a great feeling!

Our current projects are my '78 Brat which is almost done, and Tim's 1950 Ford F-1 pick up. I call it the "Jeep-in-Ford-Clothing". The frame and drive train are from a Jeep Wagoneer, so it's 4WD.

There are so many great project cars/trucks on ebay... check it out and catch the bug!

Thanks! I like the photography idea it seems like something that I could combine with all aspects of my life. Now I'll have to do some research on it!
