What else are you interested besides your lab?

[BaconsMom]

I like shooting stuff

Nice collection of firearms!!!

We are avid waterfowl and upland hunters, fishers, bow fishers (for carp). We pretty much love anything outdoors.

On a personal side, I am a big science geek (I am a chemist by trade).

[Carlos]

I'm the youth pastor and bass player at our church.
As for hobbies, I like firearms, fishing, hunting, backyard sports (but I don't follow the pros), aquariums, reading, music and playing with fire, just to name a few. Lol
I also really like researching stuff. I enjoy hearing or reading about something and then digging up as much about it as I can to learn all about it. From physics to how to break horses.

I'm trying to get fitness added into that list. I've discovered that I'm getting out of shape so I'm trying to pump myself up to get hard core about eating right and working out.

[CaraDeo]

I like to bake/cook, read (mostly thriller/crime novels), somewhat of a film buff.

Been wanting to start hunting for a while now, but just haven't had the extra time or money to do it yet. Hopefully next year!

Beside work (which I hate the particular area of law I am currently in), I spend a lot of time in the gym training for the Tough Mudder in October. I *really* like the gym I go to. They are super competitive but supportive at the same time. If I'm not in the gym, I'm at the pool swimming laps or reading. Just finished Gregg Allman's "My Cross To Bear". We take our boat out probably once a week for fun in the sun with friends.

I do watch some tv: Games of Thrones, Nurse Jackie, Master Chef, Survivor and Big Brother is almost on! We go to several concerts a year: Chris Robinson Brotherhood/The Black Crowes, .moe, Bruce Hornsby, Further, Widespread Panic.

We have a 1969 Chevy Nova that we show four or so times a year. That's a good time, although I'll be missing the biggest show of the season to do the Tough Mudder. https://good-guys.com/sen-2014

Playing with my camera, occasionally baking/cooking and I am really good at playing on the internet.

Cooking, baking, horseback riding, natural horsemanship, gardening, and doing nice things for people

[Archie]

horses, reading, food (especially cheese), cooking, hiking, camping, campfires, vodka. I also love pools - being beside them, in them, or on a floatie, I love pools and really want to have one some day.

[Sam I Am]

Besides work and my kids, everything else is dog related.

Me too!! I try to explain this to people and some just don't get it. Every time Amy (Zombiebait?) posts pictures of her grotto, OMG! You'd have to pry me out of that thing.

[Tammy]

okay, i'll share the other things I'm interested in, but only if you all promise not to tell Bailey and Bella since they are convinced that my free time and interests all revolve around them.

I am also a runner. Usually half marathons or marathons, but this year, I'm not running anything longer than a Half. Marathon training takes up so much time and actually starts to stress me out during peak training weeks. So, I've been running anything from 5k-half marathons and am enjoying that.
As a family, we enjoy taking our travel trailer out camping, which I'm sure the dogs think is just for them. they have a blast!
We also love spending the day at the river, or going on hikes. Okay, dogs also think that is for them.

I normally have a large garden and can a ton of my produce. This year I cut back and am only doing a small garden though.

my son and I also volunteer at our local animal shelter by exercising the dogs and I'm on the Board of Directors for a non-profit "Shelter Friends" that partners with the county run animal shelter by organizing off-site adoption events, low cost spay/neuter programs, etc.

[DodgyLookingBird]

Too many things, and because of the puppy and my two little boys I don't get to do much of it!

I love sewing/embroidery/ cross stitching but haven't done it for years, and have too many unfinished projects here.

I also enjoy 'picking'- scouring shops and sales for vintage goodies: pink & aqua pyrex, jadeite/ delphite, certain dinnerware patterns, finishing off my Gram's Fiestaware collection... and elusive pink sink and toilet for our master bath. It's a trick finding them locally in nice shape.. and for less than a fortune. NOw I am mostly stuck to looking on craigslist & such. My boys and antique shops and estate sales is a recipe for disaster. And possibly insanity.

I make nail polish and we've been gearing up to taking Pixie and the boys on little local hikes so we can start camping again

And like Carlos, I've got the Research Nerd gene--it was sure an interesting way to pass time whilst acting as a baby mattress!
