Hobbies? Got any?

[Ishmael]

What are your hobbies? The shit you do to amuse yourself, not what you do to survive.

I have many. Virtually anything to do with the shooting sports including hunting. I do photography and gardening. Systems design (I used to do that for a living but now that I don't HAVE to do it I'm finding I enjoy it). And distilling my own whiskey (you can call it 'moonshine' if you want, but that's not exactly what I do). Shibari, but that ties in with the photography.

What are your hobbies?

I enjoy a few things. (watching movies, water-related - before my accident ec).

But the ones that I find to be most meaningful are reading (the sense that one's transgressing time and space by connecting with like-minded people etc.) and connecting with animals. Their unconditional love and the way in which they teach us how to enjoy life.
What would life be without dogs…

 

[Not Normal]

I like to play poker. I paint sometimes.

Martial arts, reading and gardening.



I used to do a lot of programming, math stuff, graphics, but not really anymore...

How long've you got?

Crafts (yes, that's right several different ones - RSI means I have to switch between works in progress), reading, writing, campaigning, advocacy, photography, arguing with people online... I'm into a lot of other things too, but there are only so many hours in the day.

I read a lot. Mostly for learning, but with the ocasional novel thrown in.
I cook, with the aim of learning new cuisines (every Jan 1st I pick a new country and spend the year learning to cook their food. This year is Poland.)
I have recently begun pbotographing interesting sites and people in my local area, and have had a couple of pics published

We should start a photography thread. I belong to one on Flicker. Post work once a month and are open in feedback and suggestion. And despite Lit, I dont mean porn.

I bake, and not a bloody cheat bread maker machine. Photograph, walk, travel, garden with an air of hate, read, OD on TV. Write a bit- Actually the photography project of sort of 'down your street' is one I have been trying to get right for ages. I have the ideas,- the list of folk, their interests, the community- village but god its time demanding.
Check Revillious in Devon.

Writing for Literotica; irritating our local City Hall both officials and councillors; advising charity bookshops on which books are valuable; working with several community groups; and, of course, grandchildren.

I have always been a car nut, so once every week or two i will find some oddball car or truck for sale in some rural village, priced under market value.

A drive to a new backroads destination, maybe buy the vehicle sort of thing.

Same with motorcycles; i usually have two or three bikes and three or four cars/trucks on the go.

My keepers are usually harley bikes, bmw cars and older ford pickups.

I collect tobacco tins...ashtrays...old soft drink signage...teapots...watches...guitars and most anything that is old and high quality.

Reading, off-roading/exploring, DIY, just starting in IDPA. gardening. I harvest my own firewood for heating which is probably a combination of hobby and being a cheap bastard.

If you come across a copy of My days with the diesel;: The memoirs of Clessie L. Cummins tell them it's not worth much but you know someone who'd like to buy it.

I searched abebooks and found three copies at about £90 each from Canada.

I'm not sure reading Charles Atlas' pamphlet "How To Be A He-man in 30 days" qualifies as martial arts.
Do you wear the black belt when you're kicking the shit out of the weeds?

Try abebooks at least once a week. Their turnover of new listings is fantastic.

Hobbies? Feh. I spent four years in law school while working. I thought I could develop a hobby or two after graduation - bought a BMW convertible, took up Mandarin - and then toward the end of September, the universe decided to flip the table on me.

My wife took an at-home pregnancy test. It was positive.

So hobbies are out the window for the next 18+ years.

 

[yossi]

Yoga - I've been practicing coming up on seven years and it's one of the best things I've ever taken up.

Cooking, nature walks, coloring, reading. Once in a blue moon I'll start knitting again, but I'm not particularly skilled.

 

[haha_on_me]

Sit back a spell, for I have a few:

I am an artist of many mediums, such as pen and ink, pencil, clay, stone, wood, you get the idea.

I am a blacksmith, and a cowboy boot maker.

A gardner of odd things, such a tobacco, heirloom wheat that is decended from wheat the Spaniards brought to the American Southwest in the 1600s.

I am the self-proclaimed protector of a beaver dam near my house.

I am a car guy, and own, and have owned some pretty cool vehicles.

I am a motorcyclist.

i run.

I teach my grandkids the simple ways and things of farm life.


That's all for now.
