So, what does everyone blow their money on besides our boats?...

There are so many, but I'll list a few off the top of my head -

keeping my family living inside with food, water, clothing etc, etc, etc (I don't consider that a hobby, but it is a major cost besides the boats)

keeping fit (so I can do the above as long as I can)

having a bit of fun (I guess those are the hobbies - too numerous to list)

motorcycles. love to ride. tried to give that one up once. lasted 6 months. harder to quit then smoking LOL

old cars/hot rods. currently the mech and honorary club member for my G/F's old Beetle. waiting to take delivery of a 79 firebird roller in the next few weeks.

like fishing and camping as well but those usually involve the boat or the canoe.

Guns and shooting although I find myself hunting less and less. now days seems to be more trap/clay shooting which is nice as deer hunting requires me to freeze me butt off.

guitar used to be a big one. still have the equipment. now and then I try to persuade myself to play more, but the time for it just isn't always there.

lastly I Love kayaking. have lots of dream trips planned for that some day some day. next month I hope to hit one more of those with a trip to the Apostle Islands. first time going there.

I have many and jump from one to another. When I jump I go full bore until I get burnt out and then move onto something else.

My kids. Their hobbies cost wayyyyy more then mine. One does competitive dance and the other does competitive gymnastics. Yeah, it costs a boat load of money but I get to visit places I otherwise would not. My other hobby is beer. Have a 6 tap kegerator and keep them all flowing with different beers all brewed in house.

Well today my hobby was looking a beautiful nurses.I never tire of looking a hot women .I also have a fair stereo system that could literally blow the windows right out of the house and be crystal clear doing it.Odldly enough I actually listen to my made up surround system more ,that's probably because its right in front of me and sounds good too.
