Restart IPSC pistol shooting. Did it for 18 months a few years back when I was based in Indonesia but had to stop when I was posted to China.

Enjoyed IPSC for a very short time as well, great stuff ! Would love to great back into it

[Johneastridge]

Would love to take up reading for pleasure. I never have time to read things that I enjoy.

Sailing would also be something really cool to learn!

[Surucipe]

Woodworking has always appealed to me.

[avaldes]

I would like to learn to play guitar and piano.

Lot's of GREAT hobbies mentioned above!! I fly RC gliders as one of my main hobbies. I am lucky to have been sponsored by Futaba for 20 years. I also shoot trap and do lots of reloading. They are wonderful ways to spend time and you can also involve your wife and kids.

I'd really like to brush-up on my second language and also get into bowhunting/flying again. Sadly, don't think I will have very much time to do any this year

[in0gravity]

Learn to fly a glider.

Lars

I've always wanted to go cave exploring yet I have no idea where to start. And take culinary classes on next trip abroad, always put it on the back burner

[ramon_cojones]

gardening

cooking

woodworking

motorcycle riding

[IPORTER]

Pilots licence!

For me a hobby I always wanted to try would be Fly Fishing. In so far as learning a new skill I would love to learn how to speak other languages. I love to travel and it would great to speak to new friends in their own language. ( Ciao, Adios, Au revoir,auf Wiedersehen )

[madandana]

Speak Spanish. More than just Mos cervasas por favor..

[CaptainQuintero]

Get an old Enfield and pootle about the country roads visiting pubs

Get into south Korean style archery

Maybe combine them both into some kind of super hobby

[Drguano]

Learn to pick winning lottery numbers.

And (thanks for the reminder, mandandana) to speak Italian in time for the AmiCigar shindig: "Posso fumare un sigaro qui?""Vorresti fare un giro nel mio Ferrari?""Il vostro cane è molto brutto!"

[santela]

Oh so many things...

I do have some free time so I took up Spanish. It was largely inspired by my love for Cuban cigars. It's not going too well right now, extremely poor memories and a lack of discipline to study after class. I do speak two languages at native speaker level, so I am pretty proud of that.

If I had a year off I would also like to obtain a pilot's license. Being able to call myself a pilot would be so satisfying. I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me to a good pilot school in SoCal.

I want to pick up drawing again. Was doing some cleaning around the house and found my sketch book from my teenage years, I forgot how good I used to be! Now I can barely do convincing stick figures.

Play Drums. I find drums the most intriguing of all instruments

I'd like to learn to play violin. But I fear that's not purely a pursuit of time, but it also requires skill, natural abilities and coordination.... where can I get those from??

Same as me. I had a band director in elementary school tell me that the only musical instrument I could play was the radio. I would love to have "musical ability".

Since I can't "make" music, I'd love to learn other languages. Took three years of Spanish in college (many moons ago) plus I dated a young lady who was fairly fluent in Spanish so I became quite familiar with it. Can I speak it today? Nope. However, when I hear folks speaking it, I can understand enough to know what they are saying. Would love to "freshen up" my Spanish, as well as learn French, German, and Italian.

Organic gardening.

[dangolf18]

Glassmaking and woodworking with rare woods.

Do you live near any caves? Here in the southeast (Merka) we've got loads of caves thanks to the karst geology. I've loved exploring random corners of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky as part of the hydrological research I'm involved in. Plus, we know someone who's got a cave on their private property and is always willing to let us explore.

For me, aikido, clandestine chemistry with a proper setup, and finally get down to practicing Spanish daily.

[cigarbreak]

Given the time (and sometimes the money) I definitely would like to get into:

Downhill Mountain Biking

Race Car Driving (Pro Go Kart leading into full sized cars)

Shooting Range/Target Practice

Rolling Cigars

I would love to find time to improve on

Playing the drums

Editing Digital Photography

As a child I used to go to some caves in Tennessee I believe it was but no unfortunately I am not near any caves that I know of. Always was overjoyed to explore- one of my ultimate bucket list is to go to Easter Island and visit caves. Wow, that sounds fantastic- I need a friend like that
