My PCF banner ads are trying to not so subtly suggest a new hobby.

 

[WoodburyPoker]

-Backpacking faraway foreign land.
-Dumpster diving.
The latter largely due to the former

Yikes. In my day "dumpster diving" meant foraging for food in trash. Is this what you do as well?!

I dig through dumpsters for poker chips to sell for food.
But if I find any food, well, a calorie is a calorie.

(Note to those people that just bought chips from me; I'm just kidding.
The gunk on those GC's is from the casino.)
(Note to those people that think I'm serious about eating food out of a
dumpster; I have some chips for sale.)

Cannon rounds for me then poker chips.

 

[Dr Lecterr]

Bowling and Golf are my main hobbies. Bowl at least 6 games a week. In the summer, I get around 30 rounds in.

 

[Chile85]

Jeeps, Soccer, Smart Home, DIY projects, iPhone Repair, Smoking/Grilling, and whatever else I can find to obsessive over in between

 

[TunnelMoney]

Hockey. Still pay 2 or 3 times a week in goal.

And 66 Vettes. At least one in particular.

• Coaching - I have a 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter involved with sports and dance. I've coached my son's soccer, flag football, basketball and baseball teams. Also coach my daughter's soccer team but leave the dance classes to the professionals.
• Traveling - we try and take one major vacation a year and 2-3 mini vacations throughout the year with the kids. Up for this year, Colorado and Michigan, possibly a last minute deal for the the wife and I to go somewhere warm too. We've been to Punta Cana a few times and love it there. Europe trip is probably our big one we want to do at some point.
• Lawn care - last spring I really took an interest in learning more about lawn care. Lots of YouTube guys out there to follow (Lawn Care Nut, Ryan Knorr, Connor Ward, GCI Turf, etc). Also recommend checking out thelawnforum.com if you have an interest. Can be time consuming, but the results were great.
• Home Improvement - we've done some pretty major renovations on our own in the 3 houses we have lived in the last 10 years. Our current house we have been in for 2 years and installed wood flooring on main level, replaced all baseboard/trim and doors, painted kitchen cabinets, built a dining room table (farm style), built closet bench/organizer in mud room.
• IT home lab - I work in the IT Security field and have a home lab I like to mess with from time to time.

Besides that I'm always cheering on my Hawks. We were season ticket holders for about 6 years and then stopped last year because the kids were so busy with their activities it was hard to make 7 games a year.

IT Security Needs unite. What domain are you focused in? I'm a data security guy focused on DLP tools for data in motion and data at rest.

 

[IaHawk]

Jack of all trades here. Been at a small MSP for the last 2 years and have been building out their security offerings (Security Awareness Training/Testing, Network Assessments, Compliance, SOC/SIEM). I've always had an interest in forensics and pen testing, but haven't done much with it to date...thats what my lab is for!

 

[Chile85]

That's a good deal, sounds pretty well rounded. In large corporations (where I'm at), it's hard to be well versed in multiple domains. I've done some Governance, Threat and Vulnerability, DLP, and some GRC Tool work that involved Vendor Risk Assessing and workflow for vulnerabilities once discovered in old school McAfee Vuln Management.

 

[saskbull]

fishing, jetboating, canoeing, and minor hockey. canadian eh

 

[Dr Lecterr]

Fingertip grip?

Yes... I’m not a big cranker though. I play 15 to 5 most days

 

[James McGill]

Golf, hiking, amateur astronomy, hole-punching paper from long distances...

 

[longflop]

Hockey (coaching and playing), lacrosse (coaching) golf (playing) and my garden. Hockey is my favorite, but I'm getting hurt more and more these days.

This was a couple years ago, but its still the most recent picture I have of me playing. Turns out nobody wants to come to take pictures at 10:30 games. 30 years of youth and beer league playing, and yes I still shoot off the wrong foot. Maybe I shouldn't be coaching.

I think I've officially heard it all - there's a full forum dedicated to lawn care? I have to check that out (very discretely, so I'm not asked to post pics of my atrocious lawn, lol.)
