Brewing beer. I used to build car models and spend a bazillion hours detailing each one. Beer only takes roughly 8 hours per 37L batch.

Thankfully,I've come to appreciate the value of a more practical hobby :lol:

...a bit of a cliche and arguably not a hobby in the strictest sense...but I love to read...daily newspapers, periodicals, essays, reviews, articles, editorials, novels, dictionaries, cleaning product labels, pill bottles, beer bottles, between the lines, body language, facial expressions...you name it! :wink:

My other hobbies are done while listening to tunes.

1. Armour model building. Great blast to super detail a Russian Kv-II, spend six months getting just right. Than drive down to some model competition at least 8 hrs away and try to win some award, and talk tanks with other armour modelers.

2. Military history. I am trying to understand the events of WWI social, military and political. Really interesting to find out about the world we live in today and how it was shaped by WWI.

I am a GEEK :lol: :lol: :lol:
