Aviation,really enjoy plane spotting and watching programs like Air Crash Investigation,really into older aircraft, got a chance to go on specially modified MD 10 last year that was made into a flying eye hospital to perform operations in less developed countries.Got to visit the cockpit and talk to the captain who showed me around the cockpit.Posted pictures from it in the Aviation and Aircraft section if anyone is interested. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=102854686

Clothes & shoes as well I suppose and more recently aftershave I blame the splits thread !
Every man needs a good watch and a good pair of shoes!
It's the one item of clothing is never skimp on. Shoes be it runners for training or dress/work shoes.
Cars would be a big one for me too, have my nice car for everyday and my jeep for off roading and hunting. I hunt too so have a few guns, loads of knives and i go to the gym every morning before work. Up until last year there were mountain bikes and dirt bikes in there too but i got sick of breaking myself up and decided to knock them on the head... sold the bike and bought a new watch! Haha

With the amount of hobbies, interests and collections I've fostered in my time, at this stage I see myself more as a curator rather than a collector. I may start charging people for tours of my gaff. Ya wanna see the launch directors personal signed copy of the NASA Gemini 6/7 mission, the first rendezvous in space? I'm your boyo.
And that's only scratching the surface of my particular madness. :eek:
Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
Astronomy. Just to point out there will be a blood moon and full lunar eclipse visible in Ireland on Friday. The best time to see the eclipse will be from 9.32pm until 10.13pm :cool:
...And collecting Nike Runners. 90's, 95's, 97's, TN's and Cortez. I've about 25 pairs of Nike still in the box :eek: :eek: :eek:
How does this even start to become a thing??!! Im actually intrigued!
My wife asks that a lot and I don't have a good answer.
It started with a set of Grace Engineers overalls I got from Japan just cause they looked comfy. Started researching older stuff from the 80s, focusing on branded jdm stuff. Slippery slope.

I recently seen a work man in Japan with air fans built into his jacket. I heard the little fan noise looked down and there were two fans on the rear of the jacket blowing/pulling air into his jacket.

Now that is seriously cool! How did you get your hands on that if you don't mind me asking Wibbs?
Mountain bikes, race (badly) in the gravity enduro races here in Ireland but mainly for fun/fitness. Could buy a Daytona if I sold all of them and associated gear.
Great outdoors (camping, hiking etc) could buy a sub if I sold all that gear. Don't get out as much anymore due family life and bikes taking priority.
Aviation, work in the airport and live in swords all my life so just is what it is.
Is owning a hyper black lab a hobby? Either way he gets more attention than anything above.
Ohhh Edit....
Pearl Jam... seen them live 7 times. Have a great little collection of memorabilia, some quiet valuable. Still haven't decided how to display it all.

I have the opposite! A battery powered heated jacket and gloves for working outdoors in the winter!
