I have 725 board games. Wait - what time is it? Yeah - still 725. I think. Not quite sure if that is quirky or maybe just 'hoardy', but I do love to play.
The only bad thing is forgetting that I have something already and buying it again. :embarrassed:

Oh yeah - and keeping track of every game I play. (Who played, total scores, stats, etc...)

Oh yeah - and there are maybe 400 of them that I have never played.

It may sound like I'm a hoarder, but:

Collect records. LP's and 45's but mostly 45's. Always liked to play obscure but good ones for my friends to get reaction or put them on mix tapes (remember those?). I think some of them considered it torture. Whatever. Now I just post one on my Facebook page every week or so. Really a Rock and Roll history explorer/junkie.

Collected Pepsi stuff. Mostly old signs and stuff but also drinking glasses. Also any old brand of soda pop glass glasses basically 1960's or older. I have maybe 60 I'm keeping but parting with a lot of them. Also picked up other old advertising signs.

Collected Hull pottery. Also picked up other styles of pottery. I don't really collect it anymore - I have enough.

Collected old glass salt and pepper shakers. Not the fancy ones or the novelty/souvenir ones. The old big clunky ones that are often milk or colored glass with the writing: "SALT" and "PEPPER" marked on them.

Also have a juke box (Seeburg 1954) that is probably my most prized and enjoyed possession. Plays 45's.

And my '55 Fairlane. Keeps me busy tinkering when I do wander out into the world outside my basement.

I buy and sell crap at flea markets (have for almost 20 years if you include years I helped a friend occasionally) so the collecting bug sort of gets into your blood. It gives me something to do with weekends in retirement, too.

On the road...
I study Meteorology/storm chasing. It's not as fun down here in the desert but the storms that do pop up around here can be incredible.
