Any of you guys into old wind-up clocks?? [mantle,kitchen,regulator,wall clocks] My grandfather was into collecting and refurbishing these and at one time had about 120 of them. I now have what was left of his collection,numbering about 65 and tons of parts and pieces.

Knives,guns,cars,tools & eguipment,clocks,hunting & fishing,books,collecting 'junk' & taking care of my honey... That's pretty much my existance.

What are you into when not 'knifing'?
 
my girlfriend and I started making Wine...been really getting into it...trying to hit alot of the local wineries also...great fun!!
 
Hey IG, at your age, what else is there!!! :eek: ;) :D

Jim, that's cool.:cool: The more you sample,the more fun it gets!!:D
What kinds are you making? Years ago, my dad made a batch of Chokecherry wine. About two glasses would turn most men into drooling,babbeling idiots. Sure wish I had a stash of that today!! [I'd have an excuse for being that way!:D ]
 
other things I collect and spend way to much money on but keep telling myself the collection is worth more than I paid for it yada yada yada.....

Toy soldiers such as Britains Ducal AQM
Swarvoski crystal
Harley Davidson Zippo lighters
 
When not burning the ends off my fingers, I like making beer,[sparrow hawk porter] being my favorite, pistol shooting, running the beagle, teaching karate to a fine group of teenagers, working on my Allice Chalmers B tractors and
taking care of whatever needs taking care of. Which includes my honey.

*lock picking*, photography, shooting sports, reading


* im not a delinquent:D its just a very relaxing hobby. something to do inside while watching tv like doing a puzzle... except puzzles don't have security pins haha
 
GEEEZE.....I forgot all about the 58 or 60 diecast NASCAR & NHRA cars and all the models I have. Another one of those things, 'it'll be worth something some day!'
 
Dewey- were making 6 gal of Vionier..1 gal of concord...1 gal of peach...1 gal of raspberry....i would like to try some mead in the near future...we just finished up 6 gal of white zinfindale...its addicting!!
 
I'm into guns and currently competing for a spot on the corporate shooting team. I also have an affliction for cars. I'm currently restoring a 74 Javelin. My edd is a BMW 325CiC and my wifes edd is a honda S2000.
 
Arthur, I had a major car disease for years! Did mechanical,body work,collision work and custom paint for over 25 years. Just burnt out on it one day and went to my second love,knives. I still have a '69 GTX to restore and a '36 Dodge 4dr sedan to become a rod. Too many things going on right now but I'll get back to them!!
 
:cool: Jim, that's really cool. Got your own winery going there. Between you and IG,we can all get smashed and eat relish!:D :D :D

No Hemi's here.:( It's got the original 440-4bbl/4sp with the pistol grip shifter[hurst] and 3.54 Dana 60. Needs LOTS of work but it's VERY solid. Good project!! :thumbup:
 
Till this day I can't remember why I sold my 1966 Cuda. It had the "S" package with the 273 4 bbl.:confused: :confused: This dude that I worked with wanted to trade me a 59 Vette for it.:confused: Boy, all the cars that i had and I f'd up would be worth some big $$$ now.:o :(
 
I've always had a thing for Cudas. Always wanted a '70-'71 bigblock. Talked to a guy that had one and had a '69 340 Formula S. He said the bigblock was fast but the Formula S was just SCARY!! [I also have 3 440's, 2 383's, 2 360's, a '72 340 w/ steel crank and a load of 318 copcar motors]
 
Bubba!!! You ever do a tune-up on a 60's Chrysler 413??? The driver's side rear plug was a pain in the ass.:jerkit:
 
Hmmmm, I'd have to say watching the Patriots get demoralized in the playoffs is a pretty nice hobby. It can be boring though since it only happens once in a freakin blue moon but...OH BUDDY, it is sweet when it happens. :)
