Things we do for fun

Until 6 years ago I was pulling throttle for BNSF.

I play a lot of board, miniature, roleplaying and video/pc games. Though often not as often as I would like. This also means a lot of painting, kit bashing, building and somehow storing... all the games and models.
We like to go on hikes, as in full day or weekend/long weekend bush/nature hikes. When in the US recently, my partner and I really enjoyed doing day and overnight hikes in/around the Grand Canyon, Sequioa, Yosemite, Manua Kea (Hawaii). Local hikes in my state, Western Australia, too.
I like to tinker with my car, a Ford Focus ST. Now 9 years old and the oldest (new) car I've owned. "new" as I've owned older thanks to buying a second hand old Ford as my first car a long time ago
I get a lot of enjoyment being an active part of several Facebook community groups for various sci-fi miniature games, board games etc. A good spirit in many of these groups.


But the biggest thing on my mind at the moment, hobby/pastime wise is... planning and crafting a dedicated gaming table. It will be minimum of 6'x4', with many cool features to enable it to work as a dining table (and look innocuous) and as a gaming table - recessed board, drink holders, areas for dice and rulebook storage and during gameplay, felt playing surface etc.
Might cost the thousands of $$ but it's hopefully going to be something that will last a long time.

Great Thread!

I have three hobbies and when I do any one of them I wonder how I give time to the others. I war game WWII games and the War of 1812. I sail and I ride bicycles (both mountain biking and some road biking). I also cut firewood, which is really zen time for me, because I heat entirely with wood.
