    My favorite hobby, especially this time of year, is vegetable gardening.

    My current scorecard for this year(harvested and either eaten myself or given to family and friends)...

    Tomatoes - 154
    Jalepenos - 58
    Sweet Banana Peppers - 29
    Cucumbers - 24
    Red Bell Peppers - 3
    Yellow Bell Peppers - 1

    I also grow basil, rosemary, garlic chives and Italian parsley in containers.

    Nothing makes me happier than seeing friend's faces light up when I give them produce that I grew myself.

    When we meet, and I know that someday we will, please remind me to tell you the story of my "container" garden and the low flying police helicopter. Story is best told in a non-sober state of mind!

    :eek: :D

    Stack,

    I think I know what happened. Is your email through the BBS current? I am guessing it is not and is outdated.

    Just email me at jfyoung@charter.net and I'll resend the message that I sent last night to the apparent bad email address.

    Debating politics. I'm a D & D junky!:p

    Martial arts, although that might be less of a hobby and more of an obsessive compulsive / emotional disorder.

    Skiing in the winter.

    Playing guitar.

    Lately I'm trying my hand at writing a novel.

    Picking my nose. :p

    Playing video games (shock and awe). Mostly PS2/PSP/PC stuff, but I actually did play some Halo 2 this week and had a good time (you hear that guys, I enjoyed playing a game on a non-Sony console ;)).

    A related hobby to that is actually keeping up with the info on the current/next-gen consoles, primarily the hardware side of things. I've also been branching out into the PC hardware side of things as well, and I'm actually a little excited to see Nvidia and ATI show off their new cards soon (Nvidia is unveiling in a week or 2, IIRC). I can't afford any of the new cards, which, unlike the next-gen consoles will retail for much more than ~$300, but it is still something I like to keep an eye on.

    I also like other tech stuff, ranging from some consumer products (HDTV's, disc formats, etc.) to some cool open-source programs to anything else you can really think of. I basically just check out stuff that the old school Screen Savers people (Leo, Patrick, Kevin R, Robert, Roger, Yoshi, etc.) talk about in their blogs and video/radio internet shows.

    Some other hobbies:
    TV (Family Guy, Conan O' Brien, Cheap Seats, sports other than the NBA, etc.)
    Internet (Homestar Runner stuff)
    Playing sports, mostly basketball
