What's your most esoteric pursuit?

Underwater basket weaving.
But aside from that I enjoy viewing and taking pictures of astronomical things, such as the planets.

I like cast iron pans. I think they are the new precious metal, because no matter what happens to the economy you can always cook up a squirrel in them. I like Griswold and Wagner, but any of the others are cool as well. My favorite pan is a Wapak. It's over a hundred years old and functions better than anything you could buy new.

 

Wow, that gives a whole new dimension to someone eyeballing your coins. I like eyeballs too but mostly just my own.

 

Sample Slabs...

I collect Ancients, where slabs aren't welcome, and Sample Slabs, where you buy the slab, not the coin!

 

Playing the harmonica..........

 

Motorcycle roadracing trophies.

It seems that the 1st place ones in WERA's Expert class are made of an unobtainium alloy, and the ones with AMA Pro on them are even more difficult to get...

 

Can you post a few of these trophies ???

 

The first place ones? I'll have to see if any of my buddies will let me come over and photograph some...

Me on the left after our team got a second in the lightweight division at a WERA National Endurance 4 hour at Talladega. Had the privilege of sharing the track with some really fast AMA Pro and former Word Superbike racers that weekend.

 

Nice 74.

 

Thanks, I have literally thousands of racing pictures, but that was the first time I actually got to be on the track with pros. My wife, who usually does the photography, was working the pits and didn't get any action shots of the fast guys using me for a mobile chicane...

- it's actually seven fourteen...

 

I have a pretty big collection of early vacuum tubes. Don't tell anyone, but one time I traded a coin for a pre-amp tube that I needed for a build.

 

Wow you guys are into totally different stuff. I mess with tropical fish, rocks (just stuff I like the looks of), hedgehogs, goats, sheep, Berkshire pedigreed hogs, basset hounds, cattle genetics, just to name a few.

 

You should network with CT member "CaveTroll". I haven't see posts from CaveTroll in a while. He collects holed-coins and has a neat Dansco 7070 album full of them. As I recall, he needed a Lafayette dollar with a contemporary hole....
