Heres some of my hobbies, whats yalls?I love building electric golf cars that pop wheelies and outpull quads, being an electronic tech by trade I have a few tricks that make my buggies unique you could say. This one is 72 volts, pops wheelies and does 50mph.

Aww man buildind firearms is nothing compared to electrical work you do. I would last long enough to hook up the wrong wire then you would read about me in the paper. I have major bad luck with electricity!!! Thats why i skipped being an electrician(dad wanted me to ), and became a plumber. The old turd chaser!

I'm new to gun ownership & have a small collection that I'm looking to expand this year. Small means 2 guns at the moment. I've got a 20 gauge shotgun & a .270 rifle. Both Remington. The shotgun I mainly use for deer season in Wisconsin. The rifle is more for target shooting unless the county my dad lives in up north eventually allows rifles. I bought a new scope for it last year & haven't really had enough time to mess with it so its still not sighted in. I'm hoping I'll get out to the range this weekend & work on it a little bit. Usually after 2-3 boxes of rounds my shoulder is done for the day.

My other hobby is riding horses. I haven't had a chance to ride in a while up until last weekend. I was bow legged for a couple days after. Lol. My friend has a few horses not too far from my house so we're going to start riding every Sunday.

Lol it's kind of a joke in my family. I got the shotgun & rifle for Christmas 2 years in a row then my 16 year old brother got a rifle this past Christmas. We are a gun loving family! I was thinking I needed something small now like a 9mm or something. Was also considering getting my CHL this year at some point. My neighborhood is pretty quiet for the most part but I do live in Ft Worth & no where is really safe anymore

Hubby and I are talking about getting a rifle for next fall's deer season. Got a shotgun and a highpowered pellet gun now....I've been looking at getting my NY pistol liciense, its less than a 3rd of the cost in my current county than it was where we lived before we bought the house.....

I read ... a lot... And really the dogs are my "hobby" . Monday we are starting agility, Tuesday we have handling class, Wed we rotate between therapy at the children's hospital and starting weight pull... Thursday, Friday I suppose I hang out with the family and my son's activities...

I'm with you Cody. Almost all things dog related. But not quite as regimented as you; never know if/when I'll be called in to work. I also manage a couple of feral cat colonies, one on the property & one about a mile from the house. I used to read a lot, but my eyes are so bad I can only read for about 1/2 hour before I get a migraine. I just got my vision card from work though, so I should be able to get new glasses soon. I do a lot of yard work, you couldn't call it gardening...more like weed pulling. Also cooking. Sometimes it's the weeds I pull that I cook. :)

The sad thing, in NY state, getting a pistol permit isn't nessecarly a carry license. Infact I wouldn't be surprised if I only get approved for "carry at home, hunting, and target practice" which is the minimum permit required to even buy a handgun. Having said that it appears that quite a few folks were able to get their permit changed to a carry license after a year or two.

And oh geez, I didn't get into the dogs at all lol. I've been working with Apollo on his conformation handling skills since there isn't another handling class local till AFTER the next show I want to go to. I've been working with Arty on wearing a muzzle. Once I've got him wearing the muzzle I need to start re-introing the vets office as a good place again. And I'd like to start working Arty up in weight pull. I did a little back in the fall, and then didn't end up having the time I thought I would.
