Re: What other hobbies? (DollaGreen)
Various kinds of salt and fresh water fish, 1/18 die-cast cars, 1/48 die-cast aircraft ,racing and flight pc sims,and my obsession is coin collecting. Although recent vette purchase has pretty much killed my near future coin acquisition off.

Re: What other hobbies? (rpounds)
Hobbies include: Dirt biking and hiking some of the toughest trails in the Rockies, Downhill skiing and boarding, reef aquarium, working out, wood-working and gardening, playing and listening to music, reading, and spending quality time with my wife and son. Like someone mentioned before, the TV is rarely on in my household! :yesnod: :cheers: :cool:

Re: What other hobbies? (DollaGreen)
Work and family keeps me busy... 1 year and 4 month daughter and newborn coming in a week is pretty much taking my time when I'm not working. If nothing else then there is always something to do with the house... So not much time working with vette...
If I have time beside these things I read Corvette books, hang out in Corvette Forum, thinking of the coming modifications or repairements to vette, surfing corvette related pages in internet etc...

Re: What other hobbies? (DollaGreen)
My hoppies are my house and yard. I have a large property with over 200 trees , an orchard, large pool, fireplaces etc, etc, and a green house. I spend countless hours doing lawns, and flower beds. I have some very nice guns and reloading equipment and shoot both disiplined olimpic style shooting and combat shooting. I also have some very nice sniper rifles that I like to practice with.
MY horse is my biggest hoppy even above the corvette and ride 4 times a week or about 2000 miles per year. He come first over the car and miss many a cruise night to spend time with him.
I also shoe on the side for extra money, about $100 per hour free and clear.
With my job I can work part time all summer using holidays so from May until September I try only to work 3 days a week at work and the rest at home.
