Weekly photo theme #5: Hobbies

Comic books!  

not a proper photo but this is my watch photo with some of my starwars action figure, mostly clone trooper 😂

grand seiko with a hulk comic? 

[Transforming into this guy...]

"Please... it's an issue of Avengers.  If you knew anything about comic books, you'd see from the 'A' logo at the bottom that it's the Avengers.  And, if you knew anything about comic books, you'd know that the Avengers originally came together because Loki was manipulating the Hulk  into creating havok, which brought the Avengers together in the first place.  So, the Hulk was an Avenger before even Captain America!  They didn't find Steve Rogers trapped in ice until issue #4!"

I’m into EDC so here’s today’s Seiko along with some knives, flashlights and multi-tools from my collection. 

For me it's music. Guitar and a little bit of piano.

For me it’s also gardening, or landscaping rather, in the summer cottage. Nothing impressing as yours. I blame the climate.

But I have a rice plantation I’m pretty proud of😎

Oddly enough I'm not broke yet.

I don't do much gardening anymore but I did grow this floss silk sapling from some seeds I picked up around town. I actually sprouted three of them but I gave the other two away since I didn't need three.

For me, collecting becomes a part of many hobbies, like reading (collecting books and comic books), gaming (collecting board, card, miniature, and roleplaying games),movies and cartoons (collecting DVDs and Blue Rays), and even fashion (collecting cuff links, tie pins, neck ties, and flip flops). 🤣

Alongside the watch restoration stuff that I bore you all to tears with I am never far from one of these....

I also have a clock obsession, and have collected over 150. 

Very cool! 

'Some' of your figures?? How many do you have?

Nice collection 👌

Is asking "Do you really need more than one knife?" the same as asking "Do you really need more than one watch?" 😂

You have a rice plantation??! That sounds much more difficult that bananas, which are basically just herbaceous perennials 👏

I had a B7 and let me tell you, the quality has gone up since then! I've had zero issues with my C7 🤞 

Cool shots, pare! 🍻

Nice Alpinist, bud. What other hobby though are you into in this photo? Is it gaming? 

Oh wow, that's awesome! 🍻👏🏼

Astig pare! So you still have that knife collection? Nice shot too. 

Isn't that a Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk 1 if I'm not mistaken? 

And in my opinion the Lee-action is the best action for a bolt-action rifle

Yes, it is a Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk 1, indeed, and in good working condition. The best bolt-action in a military carbine around that time would be the Swiss K-31, IMHO. The machining alone is on a different level, not even mentioning the straight pull.

Yup, still crazy in more ways than one.

I call it "Best of british"

Weightlifting for me! Turning more into general health now as I broaden what I do.

I used to collect video games, but sold around 80% of my collection 2 years ago. I kept all my Pokémon games however! 

I started paddleboarding last year and its my go-to activity for warm summer mornings. This picture was from 2021 and as I recall, it was a early enough that the temperature was still in the mid 60's. Hence, the wetsuit.

It’s my wrist shot of the day, but fits here as well :

You need the Oris Star Wars stormtrooper for max geek cred 😉

wow i didnt know oris ever collab with star wars dude 🍺

There’s a watch in there somewhere.
