This was one of the questions on my grandson's profile of his grandfather for a school assignment. I actually came up blank! In my grade school years I collected stamps and enough baseball cards to retire on. ( Who didn't? ) In my high school years I had hunting and trapping. After high school it was big game hunting in Alaska and wing-shooting several times in South Dakota and Canada.
Even after marriage, I took up reading every best seller, hunted, trapped, raised kids and English setters. Now I watch my grandkids and TV. Doesn't everybody my age do that?
I would like to hear from some of you guys on what you do outside of hunting, fishing, trapping, and ADC work. ( If you think that your answers won't be interesting, you would be wrong! )
P.S. If your hobby could get you in trouble with the Mrs. or the cops, PM me. I've been there.

Good off work topic Paul. Like somebody said hunt-trap-fish, is there anything else? well yes, the only politically correct thing I do is garden and even then I us Roundup. I also like old Willys jeeps, currently working on a '57 CJ5, same vintage as me. Go into 'trapper talk" on 3/12/14 and look for Charles Dobbins scholarship gun #2 and you'll see yours truly with his new rifle standing next to my Willys project. She's a barn find, spent 27 years in a barn, not a single rust through spot, barely any surface rust and all original drivetrain. she even has a PTO winch.

Other than the big three, I enjoy my garden, mushrooming, hanging with my family, woopin' it up with some good friends, Four wheeling. I used to be a scuba diver,but gave it up along with my boat. I was a Harley guy too! I guess there will be more hobbies in the future. I am just one of those guys that has to try everything!
