Easy question. What do you like to do when you aren't playing tanks or all of those other things that seem to take up your time? I've got two hobbies that I greatly enjoy doing with my family. 1. Shooting. My daughter and I hit the range fairly often. She has become fairly adept with a Savage 9317 so if you are a small varmint than you better watch out. I've been bit by the AR-15 bug and it is really all I shoot anymore.
2. Kendo. My kids and I have started doing kendo together. It's a blast and has really brought us closer as a family.
(This isn't me or my kids but this is the armor we wear while practicing)

I used to have quite a few before my arthralgia kicked in. I loved playing Badminton.. Used to do it every Thursday. I played guitar... I can't even hold the thing comfortably anymore. Now, I pretty much just play games and watch movies. If there's a disastrously bad movie out there, chances are I've watched it.

I grew up in the Southwest around a family that was into sillouette shooting so I still shoot, reload and collect old firearms. Some of my favorites are my S&W Model 1917 (ser#6707), a Winchester 1886 45-70 (1893), Winchester Model 12 built in 1915, Springfield 1903 that was sporterized in 1925, a Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 built in 1948 and a Ruger Model 1 chambered in .375 H&H Magnum built in the early 70s.
I live in Northern MN so I hunt and fish all seasons.

I mainly collect firearms, go to the range and dabble in gunsmithing.
Other than that, I take care of my daughter while my wife works.

Lots of beer was consumed by the parents in hotel breakfast areas at night after the boys were sleeping. HS playoffs start tonight.

Very nice, My sr year of Highschool we finally got a club team - they're still waiting on it to be scantioned. Up there its probally as big as college hockey is here with DU, CC and Air Force, probally bigger.

I have several hobbies. I ride when I get a chance to and my sons aren't in school. I have a raptor 700 and I bought my middle son a 400ex. My youngest rides a honda 50, but i'm looking to get him a 4 wheeler. I like to shoot also, but don't do it very often. I have a stockpile of ammo that I want to hold on to. One of my other hobbies is rc helicopters.

I grew up in Southern AZ so I thought only Canadians played hockey or snowmobiled
I moved up here to MN in 1997 and they're maniacal about hockey. The local HS has produced a Hobey Baker award winner, two Stanley Cup players (my son got a pic next to the Conn Smythe trophy when the Penguins won it), the current head coach was just recently a scout for the Rangers and the asst coach played for the Islanders and Kings and won the Hobey Baker award in 1994.
It's amazing to see 3000 people at a HS rivalry game and 17k people at the state tourney.

Its growing down there too. ASU just got a D1 team this year- and when it comes to recruiting - where would you rather go? up in Minn or Boston where its currently below freezing or ASU where after practice your hanging at the pool with the sorority girls?

Kayaking, fishing, video games. Hard to do the first 2 in the winter, sadly.
