Mine would be astro photography. I built my own Telescope from scratch. Ground the glass mirror, but sent the mirror to have the coating put on it. I've been into astronomy since 1964. Posted are some of the photos I've taken over the last few years. 

way cool and you surf too, you forgot to mention that. 

My hobbies? Music appreciation and trying to understand why people do what they do, the mechanics of how the brain directs behaviors. (psychology/neuropsychology)

I also like the study of human behaviour. History of disease's. Reading, mostly non fiction, but science fiction and western's that are based on historical facts. Norton's anthology of world master pieces is another.

Damn bro wait strain is that?  Looks like some feminized purp.  Envy?   Not gonna lie that was one of my top hobbies in highschool and undergrad lol.  Never grew anything just admired people who did ;)   Wonder if that Lemon Trainwreck is still around lol. 

Bet your utility bill is legit with that setup.

Most of my hobbies are outdoorsy types of things. Fishing, hiking and exploring. I've been on a State Park hiking stint where I want to hike the trails at every Georgia state park eventually. Have a long way to go still on that one though. Already started in on Alabama and Florida for hiking their parks too. 

I do a little freelance writing at times as well, but that usually comes with inspiration and due to that, it's not a regular hobby. 

I recently got into collecting coins, not avid and I don't consider myself a numismatic or anything close at all. I'm not running out shopping for rare stuff, but if I happen across something or get it back in change I sock it away in my treasure chest. Most exciting find: A 1916 Barber Dime that I found just laying on the grass as I was walking one day. Not super valuable but we were meant to be together. :D

Am with the variety crowd 

-- travel (wife was a flight attendant, so have nice benefits -- my oldest just graduated from TCU and is in Kharmandu on a solo 5-week around the world trip that is only costing him about $1500 for travel and lodging -- btw, he just found out where his job is going to locate him yesterday -- any of you NJ guys got any good tips for adjusting to Easton, PA?)

-- SCUBA (favorite place = French Polynesia)

-- golf (15 index)

-- cribbage (just re-picked up game after 30 years and play for ridiculous stakes, but with friends that are all close enough in skill to keep friendly, more or less -- btw, Bormio, bridge is on the group list to learn -- we play some spades) -- play Texas Hold em if I'm ever in a casino

-- boating (have a collection of varied small craft -- shopping for a fishing boat)

-- have plans in place to become a ciderist and have a small orchard

-- do a bit of fresh water fishing and bird-hunting, but also intend to become adept at ocean fishing in new place 

-- mountain biking (despite 2 broken collarbones in last 4 years)

-- reading, writing, geneology

-- hsfb message boarding ?

My brother in law is a commercial farmer in OR -- he has several acres inside greenhouses

has always been an entrepreneur of sorts and thinks this is his big home run

You hit on some of my hobbies. I love any history reading or shows. Movies based on true stories. Anything to do with Organized Crime has been a huge one for me. It's the half Sicilian side of me.

My friend and I are looking to cash in here in Cali on this. In not a user since it makes me hella paranoid but by best friend knows his mota. My end would be more on the business and financing end. Not sure what part of the market yet but watched a few documentaries on the different industry types in Colorado from accounting software to banking since they can't deposit it into a regular bank. Open to all suggestions. Max?

To be honest I don't know much about growing, I was never paying much attention lol.  I was all about the passing stuff around though lol.   I don't smoke anymore though as I also have become a lightweight and get paranoid as Fack.

You and everyone else......

.... there's going to a ton of investment and some will be big winners but a lot will wind up being worth nothing

i like the fact you're looking for a niche rather than being a grower or retailer

Yeah a couple yrs ago I instructed my broker to invest in weed.  Not everything just about 40% I've done well.  I guess another hobbie is looking at what to invest in before anyone else. I like shark tank and programs like it. Right now I'm looking to invest in self transportation I think it is going to boom

Nice. Grew up in a small ranch. My mom

was 5 feet tall and would break, breed and train horses. She still has about 10 today. 

not quite a "ranch"...  more like a zoo.  just pets but the girls (horses) are my favorites
