So... There's a lot of nerdy/geeky hobby forum places.. But surely we all have hobbies that are maybe a little less.. geekish?
I mean, I'm into music and gaming and all that, but I'm also.. A Lumberjack!  ;D

Okay no, seriously I'm not, I just couldn't resist. In all seriousness, i'm an equestrian. i loves the horseback riding. And, well, anything to do with horses. Am I alone? what are other furs' less-geeky even "mainstream" hobbies?
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way you're right.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs harder.

I read naturalist encyclopedias and try to find physical specimens in the local park and my backyard.  :P
I'm gonna buy the new Smithsonian Encyclopedia of Taxonomy that was recently updated and re-released.

I'm not sure I have many of these, but I suppose archery used to count, while I still had a range locally to do my shooting in. Knife throwing? Does that count, or is that straying back into freak territory again.

EmoFox

nah, I'd count archery as geeky. Being part of the exremely nerdy Archery club in high school.. and the SCA... yeah, totally nerdy. Paintballing would count as not-nerdy, lol. Or even bb guns or air rifles or something.

Does birding count as nerdy? I'm never sure.

Interesting, we Silverrose and I have a couple handfulls of horses. That is about all I do outside of furry stuff or gaming.
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those that don't.

Arooo!

Some people call me a troll, what does that word mean

Bird watching?!  :D

Yeah. Well, bird photography, to be more precise, but I do try and watch and ID birds outside of that.

I read, write, and then as Mediar says we have a pile of horses. Only most of them are little.

This is my special little man Skipper.



This is our other stallion Sam.



Mediar driving one of our little mares April


Then we have 2 other mini mares. And Mediars riding horse Genie.


I dont have linkable pictures of the two other mares at the moment.
We also have 2 foals.

Love the horses.

I'm into fountain pens (I have quite a collection), wet shaving, and fencing, among other things.

Oh yeah, and photography.
