Hiking and bike riding more than ever this year as the weather has been fabulous for the past 4 months. Fly fishing was good for me up until June when it was getting too warm for the fish. Hope the drought ends before it's too late for the fish. August I'll be hittin' the salt water for pinks and Coho.

I love to golf, in fact I'm going this afternoon. I also love vegetable gardening "you can bury a lot of trouble digging in the dirt". I also love to cook ( I do the majority of the cooking in the house), my wife does the salads. I hike or just walk when I can and ride a bike. I very active in Politics/social justice and I read, and keep an eye on my river.
A friend who works in the same organization just retired 2 moths ago, I saw him last week and he told me he's looking to go back to work, he said " I can stand it, I'm bored". Not gonna' be a problem for me.
I enjoy spending time with my family, skateboarding (longboard--too old for shorties and parks--I used to snowboard a lot too, but time's too short to dedicate and entire day to that as it cuts into my winter steelheading time), gardening, I also really enjoy playing "frisbee golf" when I go up and visit my folks (my dad and I will pick targets around their property). I used to really enjoy brewing beer but time is limited (I still haven't got around to getting rid of my brewing equipment)--I love drinking it though, I really enjoy just chillin' with good friends, good wine, good food and good beer. I really really love flyfishing though...
Nothing, I don't get around very good so I'll ride my ATV when the weather lets me. I mow my yard about every 10 days. After I do that I have to rest because of my yard kicking my ass. My lawn mower is self propelled but I have to walk behind it. But other than that I usually just get in my Truck and head for the hills.
I don't have any hobbies, can't tie flies because I tend to shake a lot on small, tiny objects. I do fish with small flies.
Family time, yard work always, and I read. I love a good book. I spend time fly tying but have so damn many bad flies, I have no idea what to do with them. They're really bad!

I dream about retiring and moving to Montana.....oh wait, I've already done that. We enjoy time with the kids, grandkids, travel a bit, hang out at the local taverns sampling wine and beer and singing a bit (I'm a karaoke master). We cruise the lake on the boat and buzz around on the bike. Basically just enjoying life.
1. Spend a lot of time making sure my kids grow up to be a well functioning members of society... and great flyfisherwomen.
2. Horses...both live and metal.
3. On the rivers working for the tug...if not dreaming about it.
Outside of work (piping engineering), my main non-fishing hobbies include homebrewing and beer judging (both actual judging and training new judges). I also do a lot of cooking.
Astronomy, lap swimming, finding the best beer brewed, maintaining a rural property (where I both fish and do Astronomy) and most importantly raising my 7 1/2 daughter.
you have 7 1/2 daughters? I don't know why you'd count one of your daughters as a 1/2, but as a dad myself, I would recommend you just say that you have 8 daughters. re: self esteem issues for your "1/2 daughter".
like if i had 2 daughters (which I do) and one was, say, not very smart, i wouldn't say "i have 1 1/2 daughters" - one smart one and one not so smart (said with Borat accent)
