The Geocaching company was located in the same building as one of the offices of my previous job. There's a hole between the 3rd floor and 2nd floor (where Geocaching is) that they used to pass candy and stuff down through the floor like some mystery gift exchange pre-2015. Several years ago we closed the office (nicknamed "Lakeview" because it had a really good view of the lake) and thus ended my opportunities to befriend and get a tour of the Geocaching building, but I signed my original employment paperwork there. Closing that office was a real pity, since getting a HQ tour was INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT if you didn't go through official channels.Geocaching. It is one of the adventures I enjoy that fits my use on the Trail 125
LOL, pretty accurate. I got involved in helicopters back in 2009...been hooked ever since. I do tons of other things too, hunt fish, trap, can never be sitting still. I'm 63 yrs.old and live like I'm in my mid 30"s lolOh no. You're not getting me that way. I already have 3D printing, I don't need more expensive, addictive hobbies.

Late to respond to this post, but I'm dumbfounded to say something.
3D printing is the least expensive of my hobbies. Even including modifying and ongoing costs, I can't imagine a fiancé being cheaper than that.3D Printing, a 2002 mustang, 1969 chevelle, 1988 Jeep, traveling, and a fiance.
Not in that order
That Jurassic Park style MJ is beyond cool!3D Printing, a 2002 mustang, 1969 chevelle, 1988 Jeep, traveling, and a fiance.

Thanks! I am considering wrapping the CT to match.That Jurassic Park style MJ is beyond cool!
Very nice. I've easily made my money back on my Ender 3 alone. Just picked up a Sovol SV05. Multicolor printing is pretty amazing, there was a guy at my old work who did a huge Sonic the Hedgehog with one.Its not the cheapest, but It gives a lot of return! I built a Prusa Mini, and recently got an Ender3 Max. Both are great! Looking to upgrade the ender to extrude multiple colors.
I wish I'd held on to some of the cars I've had through the years. The older cars had character.mostly motorcycles, but vintage cars as well. luckily im down to just 2.
my 66 galaxie which has been posted here before, and my 62 falcon i've had for.. 12 years now? sept 61 build date. stock creampuff 6 cyl 2 speed car. the galaxie by far has been much more expensive over the past 4 years but has had lots of mechanical improvements done to it.
You've touched upon a few things that resonate with me. Travel; my wife is a retired teacher. When she was still teaching we would travel during her summer break. We wanted to explore Europe while we were still young. We were fortunate to visit many cool places. We did it all on our own, no tours. We booked everything ourselves and I did all of the driving. On one of our trips to Switzerland I noticed that we were near the factory where the Victorinox Swiss Army knives were made. We visited the factory store and as it turned out, it happened to be their 100th anniversary. I purchased one of the !00th year commemorative knives (the big one with everything on it). It's packaged in a special tin with paperwork. I've never handled it as I wanted to keep it pristine. I still have the original receipt. Oddly enough, if I had to put my hands on it today I'd be looking, as I have no idea where I've stashed it! I don't remember what I paid for it. I'm sure it was expensive at the time as nothing is cheap in Switzerland. You also mentioned antique housewares and vinyl records. I still have all of my vinyl albums. Several hundred, I suppose. In the last 10 - 15 years I've started buying some old collectable 78's and recordings on the old King label. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Records_(United_States) Lastly, you mentioned antique housewares. I presently have three booths in local antique malls. I'm not up on cast iron. I do know that some of the Griswold pieces are highly sought after and bring some serious money. I do a lot of buying for my own collecting and for resale. I'm kind of all over the place, everything from traditional to odd & unusual to random collectables and a bit of pop culture. The antique stuff keeps me busy as I was forced into retirement about 5 years ago with some health issues. I'm a retired fine art photographer. I spent 23 years on the art show circuit. I still have my website up if you'd like to have a look. It hasn't been updated in 5 years but I just didn't want to take it down. It's www.michaeldavisphotoworks.com In any case, life is good. I look forward to riding my bike when the weather gets warmer. I enjoy this forum and want to say thanks to everyone who has been so kind and helpful.> ATF and FBI agents have entered the chat
That's a very cool knife collection. I carry a Leatherman Sideclip, or Victorinox Swiss Army Classic if backpacking, daily and have a few Kissing Crane, Buck, and KA-BAR knives.
Travel is a big area I spend money on. I try to travel frugally but it still adds up. Camping and backpacking gear as well as bicycles and paddlecrafts to enable that travel take big hits on my wallet. A nice thing about the backpacking gear is that much of the stuff I hang onto but don't regularly use myself ends up becoming loaner gear to take friends along. Other currently growing collections are tools - many specialty or vintage, antique housewares - especially cast iron cookware that I restore, books, and vinyl records.
In the past I've spent a lot on vintage American cars and trucks, but I cleared house recently as the market got insane and I barely drive vs riding motorcycles. Same for vintage computer terminals and workstations (DEC, NeXT, SGI, Sun) that I used to repair and spend a lot of money on hard to find parts for. The market got hot and I got tired of having things I barely use and might be burdened with having to move in the future, so I sold most of them off.
