Most of my hobbies are related to the outdoors and fitness.
1. Rv'ing. My portable hotel room for other activities.
2. Deer hunting.
3. Fishing.
4. Kayaking.
5. ATVing.
6. Bicycling.
7. Weightlifting.
8. Venison related food processing. (Jerky, sausage, brats etc.)
9. Home remodeling (Always a big list of honey do's)
10. Property management and upkeep. (I own 120 acres of hunting ground)
Illness forced me to an early retirement about 2 years ago but I got a second chance at life. Retirement is great.

Ok, so I will play. It is funny how many of us list Expresso and Photography! I would also add restoration of early 1960s VWs but I have not done much of this for some years. I will add restoration of vintage homes that I have owned: 1920s Arts and Crafts Bungalow, 1868 Italianate Victorian, 1970s modernist, 1758 Colonial, and now 1800s stone farmhouse in Czech Republic. I also enjoy cooking.

Cooking. Eating. Drinking wine. (Hope to start making my own this summer.) Hiking. Crossword puzzles, to which I have a moderate addiction. Waiting on my cat. The GF bought me this Lego kit for Christmas and I got hooked:
Think I am going to get the Tower Bridge model next.

I build portable sound systems with vintage luggage. All of the cases carry a 12 volt sealed lead acid battery and can run for 18 hours on a full charge. You simply hook up to a Ipod or your phone with a 3.5 mm patch cord. The units are a niche market and are slow to sell. Here's an example of a re purposed 1940's sewing machine case.

No...I'm completely off the radar but thanks for asking. There's a few people in North America building these cases and you can find examples on Youtube.. I'm noted locally for building high power 50 watt RMS cases with JBL drivers. These get very heavy with two batteries for 24 volt power. The smaller vanity cases are popular with the ladies and are the best sellers.

I work full time, I've been married for 17 years, I have two kids, I have two dogs, I'm the sole bread winner in the house and I am currently half way through a rigorous grad school. My hobbies consist of maintaining breathing, wolfing down food as I run between meetings/drive to school and sleeping when I have a spare seven minutes.

Ah, okay - cool. Looks like really fun stuff, in any event. Also, any thoughts on sticking a BT receiver in there? That was one of the things that really appealed to the buyers of compact/portable gear when I was still selling - not only is the wireless aspect just more appealing on its own, but it also let buyers to allow friends to easily "guest DJ" during get-togethers. With NFC taking off, I would think that BT with a tap-to-pair NFC tag would be killer.

Here's some things i'm into:
Tattoos, Graphic Design (not my job), Rap Concerts, Building bikes new & old, I'm a weed connoisseur (with a license), travelling, and I just got into guitars.
Here's my fiancé and myself in Mexico last year.
