Where to start...

I spend way too much time following horse racing and have even owned a few thoroughbreds in partnerships. We currently have a 3 year old filly who is getting ready to make her first start in May or June after having some medical problems as a 2 year old. I don't remember the exact wording but there is a quote that a man can never die with a promising two year old in the barn and The Kentucky Derby less than a year away.

Only if you add multiperson pantheistic solipsism.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

They are a lot of fun Cloves

And just like kilts, once you you try them you do not turn around. Granted, Vespas are expensive. But there are others.

I collect and run model trains.
I'm a part-time volunteer at my local airport where I help run the Aviation Museum and also fly from there as a private pilot.
I collect kilts and kilt accessories.
Three very expensive hobbies.

Well, I've recently begun learning the GHB... well practice chanter at this point. But, I'll be to the pipes soon enough. I also tattoo as a side interest. I used to tattoo for a living, but life changes...

You can only go straight? Sheesh! All that money for such a limited conveyance...

Get your knees in the breeze, and bugs in your teeth!

Blacksmithing in my main hobby. And though that in and of itself isn't all that odd (there are a lot of artist blacksmiths in the US), the projects I do are. Mostly small stuff, but I'm currently working on a medieval clock, entirely from scratch. My friends in my alma mater's art department think I'm nuts, for that, the armour I've made, and my insitence on not using modern techniques to get the job done. The clock's really chewing up my hands, sharp teeth on the gears and all. I usually don't wear gloves.
