You'd be surprised how much argument there is (in a good-natured
way) over the various aspects of climbing :D

maintain. My recent helicopter crashes cost me more than $1000. I
could have bought a decent lens for that money.

Helies are costly to repair, those blades go first everytime. I can replace a nicked prop on a planes for anywhere from $3 to $40 but helie blades run hundreds.

I have had a 10 foot Beaver with a Sato 180, 9 servos, 2 gyros, 2 pumps (fuel and smoke), batterys ect. go in after losing the left wing becoming a total lost of $2000. I still have the JR computer TX but the rest is trash.

My most expencive lens to date is $1900 for a 7-14. I wont be seeing how crash proof it is any time soon.
I don't fly helies but I have shot for a local club.

I'm a biochemistry college student.

I also am fairly competent in computer hardware and physical networking.

I also have an electricians license and do other types of wiring.

I have a high appreciation for audio and video quality in home theater, although I cannot afford any of this stuff.

I'm learning the intricies of different automotive systems.

Basically, anything that interests me, I research for hundreds of hours online, and buy books, and then actually DO enough times to bring me to a skill level that I can get paid to do it.

I have a lot of fun!

I even used to go to metings in London to meet other robo-dog owners.

Strangley enough, it never actually felt geeky at the time.

I'm a railroad buff, which obviously includes photography, but I'm also interested in railroad history, timetables, etc.

In fact, most railroad buffs probably consider me to be weird, because I'm especially into the "little stuff:" streetcars/trolleys/trams, subways/metros, and the like. My idea of a fun trip is something like a tour of trolley museums in the Midwest (USA), like I did last summer, or a day riding the 'L' around Chicago, or touring Philadelphia:

I've not had a chance to read all the replies yet, so I don't know if I'm alone here, but I've got to admit to being a sci-fi geek.

Not socially acceptable sci-fi like the big Hollywood blockbusters (although I'll happily watch Independance Day, Men In Black and others of that ilk), but rather the quaint old fashioned TV shows that gloried in wobbly sets, unconvincing monsters and pocket money special effects budgets.

My favourite since I first started watching it in the early 70's is Doctor Who, and I'm glad to say that my five year old daughter is now hooked on the new incarnation of the show.

I also like reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, and my favourite author is Terry Pratchett.
