I wouldn't say this hobby defines me, but I read all the time. I will read anything, and it is the only thing that relaxes me enough to sleep.

Reading and horticulture. The latter includes having a big greenhouse (12'x36') where I can propagate plants (native and non-native), a huge vegetable garden, an orchard and small fruits (apples, cherries, asian pears, pears, plums, strawberries, raspberries, loganberries, marionberries, blueberries, currants, kiwifruit, lingonberries, rhubarb) (the garden and orchard cover somewhere around 1/3-1/2 acre), ornamental trees and flowerbeds, and ten acres of forest that I'm rehabilitating (thinning alder and planting native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers) as well as turning it into a private multiuse forest/park (pond, hiking trails, tentsites, etc.) My days are mostly spent working outside, my evenings are when I can read.

Used to do this many years ago. Now I'm an avid Warhammer fan. Dark Elves FTW!

Lizardmen > You

Lizardmen are for noobs.

New DE book in August. :evil:
New Corsair plastics look sweet.

Been about 10 years since I played Fantasy actually. Just started my Nid army again recently. Lizardmen actually sucked back in the day and were very very expensive. You play with friends or at a shop?

Lizardmen are actually really good now especially in large games. Cold Blooded is a nasty rule. There's a GW store about 15 min from my house so I play there. I play DE, Wood Elves, and Dwarfs (which I'm going to get rid of. Kinda boring).

I started 40k Chaos about 10 years ago. Then got Blood Angles and Eldar. Haven't played 40k in a few years though.

Got a few small hobbies like saltwater fish, paintball, video games but my big hobby is cars. I like reading about em, fixing em and going to car shows. I've got a 1966 Rambler I'm in the middle of restoring. Until I get a house with a garage to work in through it remains in storage for now. There are a few things I'm doing while it's in the storage garage. Right now I'm making up some new brake lines and replacing the master cylinder. Once I get those in I'll be pulling the drums and checking out the wheel cylinders. will probably replace those if I can get new ones cheap enough.

My biggest expense, err, hobby is R/C helis. I can't help it, they mulitply like bunnies in my workshop.
Next hobby is designing stuff in SolidWorks and building them. One of my sons has some pretty sever disabilities and needs special hardware like walkers, gait trainers etc. So I've designed some equipment for him and then have a VERY nice friend who has taught me a great deal about welding, frame bending and anodizing.
Third hobby is more of a chore, working on my tractor. Tons of driveway maintenance, planting, brush hogging etc.

I love watching movies and listening to music on my audio system. Used to be a regular member of head-fi, buying up all sorts of equipment and accessories, but that got really expensive, so I stopped buying stuff. Satisfy w/ what I have.
