Hunting, fishing, kayaking (especially kayak fishing), backpacking, building and flying giant scale radio control airplanes (up to 42% full size), building and restoring just about anything. I build wooden boats from pirogues and canoes up to 19' skiffs, and have built a number of teardrop style travel trailers.
Here's my latest tiny trailer which makes an excellent base camp while traveling out west and backpacking.

As for myself, I thoroughly enjoy video games and my home theater. I am always looking to buy and tinker with the next new gadget. Just now starting to get into playing a guitar. Back in the USA I have my 1996 Cobra just dying for some attention though
It may be time to buy a new fast car (Mustang GT or higher of course)

Slow Pitch Softball. Play for between 3 and 4 teams each summer in different leagues.
I can't tell you how many times guys laugh at me when I roll up on the road bike, only to get silent when I take 3rd on a bobbled single (60ft bases).

Was a fairly avid bowler. Haven't really done much in the last couple years though. Gets to be a little expensive. Because we all know, biking is cheap.

In case you were serious ... there is no truth at all to what you heard. Only if you actually choose to learn about construction will you learn anything about it in school.
However ... building a house isn't that hard. People did that stuff in the middle ages and before that ... it's just a bit more complicated these days and better insulation obviously.
For anyone knowing a bit about various technical things and wanting to put the work in it should be feasible.
If you do everything yourself it takes many years though

Boating here also. Since it's been so hot, that's what I've been doing this month.

Shooting. Some long distance stuff, really any kind of range time is fine with me. I also accurize and hand load for my own rifles.
Lots of other stuff I like to do and I'm involved in but biking, hunting, shooting, high school wrestling (I coach) and weight training takes my time.
In my spare time I work for juvenile probate court.

Your location says "Overpelt, Belgium" so I assume you are just jokin' around, right?
In case you were serious ... there is no truth at all to what you heard. Only if you actually choose to learn about construction will you learn anything about it in school.

Sports are also atop my list. There isn't a sport under the sun I wouldn't at least try to play. If I play something I almost always have to have my own gear. I own no less than 6 tennis rackets, 3 bowling balls (193 average bowler), a few softball bats, ultimate frisbees, frolf frisbees, ping pong paddles etc etc. One sport I have yet to try on an actual course however is golf, kind of hard to find lefty clubs, let alone lefty clubs that are +1 or +2 in length

My other hobby would have to be tetris, as old school as it may sound.

Yes thats a dual 120mm radiator and those delta fans are pulling 150 CFM's of air each through it.
My main gaming rig.
Have since pulled the 3-4870 video cards that were in tri-fire and replaced them with a single 4870x2 (dual core) card. The 3-120mm radiator at the top of the case cools the video card and the 2-120mm radiator at the bottom of the case cools the processor.
