What other hobbies do you have?

[oilpsi2high]

Boating.

Wrenching.

Sledding.

Drumming.

Mountain Biking.

That's about it. Not much time for anything else.

Is that the real Mickey Mantle rookie card????

If it is... Rather valuable.

Well I thought Mad river was in play.... I drove right by there while on vacation in Vermont 5 years ago.

A very beautiful state there in Vermont. Would like to go back again.

Alright so I tried to upload this and apparently I couldn't so let's try this again. Here are some pics of my Weber collection (minus my 3 Smokey joes) and a cool vintage jack I plan on restoring later down the road.

I'm getting back into hunting and marksmanship again after a long hiatus.

I love to cook outdoors with multiple gas grills & smokers including a trailer mounter 24" diameter smoker.

Military history buff and (non-computer based) simulation and gaming.

You ever go to game conventions? You'd love GaryCon!

Did so back in the 80's, pre-wife. Not nearly so many available these days. Went to Nancon in Houston with friends the night before my wedding instead of the typical strip club routine. Most enjoyable for me was a session in Austin presided over by some of the instructors at Ft. Hood on what was a then ultra-modern NATO vs WARPAC scenario back in '87 or maybe '88.

From what I've been reading on weather forums and the like, this could be quite the winter, at least here in NY.

Walking the dogs.

if I am not at home or at place of work, most likely one will find me in the park, gym or at the library

Actually, it is not his "True RC". His true RC is actually his 1951 Bowman card. The card I have is commonly/mistakenly referred to as his RC but because it was his first Topps card, people also call it has RC.

Unfortunately, my copy has front side paper loss (lower right) so it reduces its value significantly. With the paper loss it is hard to judge what it is worth as many people will take a creased out card over a paper loss card.
My card, despite the paper loss, still presents itself fairly well so I would assume I can likely get between $5 and $8,000 dollars U.S. for it, maybe?

My Father, over 30+ years ago gave me a 148 1952 Topps cards but unfortunately, the Mickey Mantle was the worst one of the bunch. Despite that, and how popular (sought after) they are among hobbyists/collectors, I am more than pleased knowing that I own/have one.

Love to Hike, Camp and Run.

I like doing home improvements as well.

 

[Astro14]

Woodworking. Kayaking. Skiing (downhill).

Travel, I suppose. I've visited a lot of places, some in the context of work, some as destinations on their own.

And I read a lot.

A lot.

I've had many hobbies over the years. Car and home audio, RC planes and helicopters, motorcycles, cars, etc. I gave up the car audio stuff because it was damaging my hearing. I lost interest in flying RCs. I quit riding motorcycles because they are too dangerous these days in our society that can't refrain from using their cell phones while they're driving. My new (again) hobby will be my Corvette when I get it. I spend most of my time with my family as that is most important of all....

Biggest reason right there why I don't have a street bike. Idiots who don't know how to drive, and more and more are put on the road each and every day, sadly.
