    Working on classic cars. I am doing a complete frame off on a 72 Nova SS. I plan on overhauling a Pontiac 455 I have sitting here and putting it in. Looking for around 500 HP when all is said and done. I'm on the long term plan though so it will be about 5 or so years before it hits the streets.

    Re: Other Hobbies???
    hm.. well I have a lot. too many I'm afraid.. wish I had more time to pursue them all. :)

    I play piano and guitar.. mostly piano lately though.

    horticulture.. I have 8 orchids and a bunch of other assorted plants. My two windows are almost full of plants.

    horseback riding.. though it's too cold lately (-30 windchills this week)

    mostly though.. I have a love for all animals. I have a small collection of 7 tarantulas.. my lovely canary and doves, my catfish that I've had forever.. and our cats and dog. I'm a dog groomer by profession, but I really like my job, my cocker spaniel has nearly floor length hair.

    which brings me to another 'hobby' - growing my hair. it's just past waist length now.. I love long hair.. on people, horses, dogs, anything that can grow it. lol I make my own homemade shampoos and conditioners and everything.. I'm a bit of a hair freak I guess.

    I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of for now.

    Dog showing, Horses, Collecting about everything. By everything I mean I have over 40 seperate collections in our house. It looks like a museum. Everything from pinbacks, cards, figurines, to full size mannequins. I believe we have about 25 of them. Mostly women, with a full size greyhound and a mermaid thrown in for good measure. We have a three bedroom home with a study and full basement and it is crowded. Only 2 of us live here. We have started to buy industrial shelving to hold everything. We also enjoy people watching at the mall. Think things in the wild are strange, just go to your local mall and sit a few minutes!;)

    I have a few...

    Field herpetology, and collecting is a big one of mine. Photography is another. I've started paying off some new photo equipment. Last is invertebrates. I adore Theraphosids....nothing beats a tarantula in my eyes. They're the perfect pet!

    Re: Other Hobbies???
    My biggest hobby is collecting DVDs, mostly Disney movies but I have a lot of the Dreamworks and other label cartoon movies as well. Name a cartoon movie and I most likely have it (unless it hasn't come out to DVD yet;)). Began collecting these before I even had my kids. I just love them!!

    My animals are my biggest love, I also collect horse figurines with my daughter, collect Transformers with my husband, and do some artwork with my sister. Hobbies are so much fun if you have someone to share them with!!

    I am sure that I have more, but lately just haven't had a whole lot of time for much of anything.

    Does watching TV and drinking beer count as a hobby? LOL

    Between family and work, the snakes are about the only thing I have time left for these days. I used to do other things like play guitar, hunt, fish, camp, play role playing games, do yoga, run, bike. But time gets tight and some things gotta go. The snakes have really been my only constant hobby over the years. Maybe when the kids grow up and move out I'll have time for other things again.

    Other than caring for all of my animals, I don't have any hobbies. I used to read a lot and love to camp but I never have time for that anymore. But animals are my passion, especially my snakes but sometimes I do wish I had a second hobby to enjoy.

    Re: Other Hobbies???
    Right now I'm working two jobs, so I pretty much just come home, take care of the animals, and crash.

    I guess my biggest obsession is dog and cat rescue. At any given time there is at least one foster at the house, and I just can't pass a stray on the road. When I had more quiet time, I used to cross-stitch, and I still crochet scarves on slow nights at work. On the extrovert side, I performed in a Rocky Horror cast for three years, and am currently loosely affiliated with a small carnival sideshow. If I ever get time, I'll be learning some of the acts.
