Icon7 Other than Rolex...hobbies/interests?

Obviously we all love our Rolexes, but outside of that what are your other hobbies/interests?

Me? Car (2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca), Motorcycle (Triumph Rocket III Roadster), reading, sports (college football, NFL, NBA).

My 4 sons consumed the majority of my time for 25 years and family is still A-number one. However, they are all 18+ now and it's nice to have some ME time and, best of all...the wife fully supports it!

Cheers!

I like the American Whiskeys as well. In fact Stranahans is one of the best and it is made with Barley.

I am a car guy as well and bought a new rubicon last year and hit moab with it with only 2000 miles on it. Very fun.

Football (soccer), high end fashion designer clothes are a massive passion and love of mine, keen interest in property which I more than dabble in away from work, German cars....we'll mostly German cars, partying the night away with friends which doesn't happen as often as old due to having a young family now but hey still a few times a month if I'm allowed!!

Nothing compares to coming home from work to seeing my young 15 month old son...my family is my biggest interest followed by work.

Bowling, but I'm down because of aggravated injury.

I hope four weeks will be sufficient.

Glad you got your life back. I forget what ME times is with 2 littlest ones running around the house. I'll bump this thread when my kids are 18, too, and I remember what I like besides changing diapers and warming bottles.

Family, cars, beer drinking, trying to cook the perfect baby back ribs which so far has been impossible despite my many attempts, credit card reward benefits, golf/most sports, international travel, learning about other cultures and trying their food, thought provoking conversations with close friends whilst drinking said beer and eating said imperfect baby backs.

Three young kids (monkeys) for me. So absolutely no time, hobbies or life. The payoff, though, is I have the most amazing children/family. Yeah, me!!!

@ day drinking.

For me I love spending time/babysitting my little niece who is 22 mths & my nephew who is 4 yrs old, hanging out with other family/ friends, reading, window shopping, diamonds, helping my friends buy diamonds (cheaper for me to do that than buy them for myself... ), recently started going to gym, weekend getaways, and going to Starbucks. Not the same as drinking as a hobby I guess. LOL
