Lot of musicians on the board!

Here's my drum kit, as featured on the Ludwig Drummer website:

I play a smaller version of this kit with a local band a couple of times a year. I was a professional musician for most of the 80's - got off the road and settled down with the family in the 90's.

Car nut here too (sort of second hobby)! Third hobby both the wife and I share is adventure traveling. Planning a trip to Thailand soon!

Neely, I am jealous. I have to stick to my 2000 C5 until my better half gives me permission to get another crazy car payment. She says I can get another when I retire! Too bad I am only 29! Bought this one when I was 22 years old!

As a former sponsored skateboarder who competed around the U.S., I try to collect skateboard decks and skate stickers whenever I can (whether they are original or re-issued). Sounds crazy, but some of the original decks are worth in the thousands now.

For a short while, I looked into signed contracts (and have since stopped). I only collected a few. The ones I have are (non-sports) Bing Crosby, (sports-related) Wes Parker AFTRA (film, television, radio) and Topps contracts of Steve Garvey, Walt Alston and Sid Fernandez.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

As an offshoot to gu collecting, I also collect vintage baseball and football cards and autos.

As a firearms instructor (my business), I'm always involved in something related to guns and concealed carry training. I'm getting more and more involved in the Second Amendment battle.

I also am into metal detecting looking for old coins and civil war items.

Re: OT: What Are Your Other Hobbies?

Wow - I can't say that I am into cars or rock music, but I have a number of other hobbies. I really enjoy photography; my subjects mainly include squirrels and raccoons. I also enjoy political activism and bringing speakers to my college. We've had speakers as noted as Daniel Dennett come to Reed College on his book tour in 2006. Here is my latest raccoon picture:



I am also quite fond of this squirrel:

I am also a former musician, but had to retire when the kids came along. I am an avid stage used drumstick collector and have obtained a bunch from legendary rock and Jazz drummers. The most in my collection so far is from the legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart. I actually recently sold one pair of his sticks for $1600 and they were not even used by him.

Well when I'm not trying to hunt down my next Mcgwire bat, I'm usually bowling on the PBA Western Regional tour on the weekends...

I like cars especially 1950's and 1960's Cheverolet's.

My son Jake in the driver's seat.



I got a junked '57 Chevy Bel Air and cut the front off and got it made into a car couch for my drive-in Movie theatre in my home which I guess is another hobby that we like watching movies under the stars.

Re: OT: What Are Your Other Hobbies?

Andrew, that is a sweet theater you put together.


My college tennis career just came to an end, so when I am not chasing down Jay Bruce and Adam Dunn bats I am playing golf or hitting the weight room. I am sure I won't put the old tennis rackets away completely.
