Audio as a hobby

I golf and swim in the summer, play hockey twice a week in the winter, actively coach my kid's sports, and also partake in extreme skiing.

I love hiking to high mountain lakes here in Colorado and flyfishing for Cutthroat and Brook trout. There's just something about being at 13,000 feet and having a lake all to yourself. Unfortunately it is a seasonal hobby. I definitely spend much more time listening to music in the winter but after dealing with people all day at work, I am ready to go into my "decompression chamber". I am also a big C.U. football fan. Go Buffs!! Sdcampbell, thanks for taking Neuheisel off of our hands (just kiddin'). Hope your Huskies do well.

I tend to view audio as an active hobby. I like to tweek stuff and figure out stuff and take things apart, ect.
It is actually a real exercise for the brain. The results are gratifying. I think I enjoy taking a cheaper component and trying to make it sound good. I don't know if I actually accomplish much with the time spent (as oppossed to just buying better stuff, It might work out to .25$ an hour). Don't get me wrong, I enjoy spending money just as much as the next guy, but if I couldn't take it apart, I wouldn't feel I was getting my money's worth. I guess what I'm saying is the enjoyment is in the trying, not trying so I can get the maximum enjoyment.
I do listen passively quite often though, like when I am actively trying to pick up after myself. That's when the active/passive debate is most blured.

As a sort of "hobby" that offers a combo of amusement / exercise / excitement, i like to go jogging in the nude.

The exercise part is quite obvious i.e. the jogging

The amusement part is looking at the people's faces as you pass them by : )

The excitement part comes into play when i'm trying to elude the police : )

PS... Take my word for it, this is no hobby for those that are easily embarrased or get chilled easily. : )

Snow skiing and bicycle racing. Actually I don't race anymore, but I did for a long time. I still ride regularly and can still hold my own with the B riders. Snow skiing, never competed--was never really that good, but enjoy it emensly. I have been Heli skiing in Canada--that was pretty incredible.
