I've been through so many "hobbies" over the years, plastic model building, comic books, gardening, shooting and reloading, casual motorcycle cruising and now smoking meats and sausage making and cooking in general, but the one thing that hangs on is reading, anything from the classics to pulp science fiction. It's my escape from reality.
In a year or so I hope to retire and get back into all of them. I would love to get time to fish and rabbit hunt again....

Leather crafting black powder revolver flap holsters, gun belts, belt pouches and the like. USA tanned cow hides. Been doing it for maybe 4 years. So I use the cow from table to hip! My saddle stitching machine is named "Bertha Jo" and is 300 pounds of cast iron and machined steel. Quite the lady. Don.

We have awesome trout fishing on two rivers: the white and the north fork river in northern Arkansas. Gotta buddy’s that guides on the river, I can hook you up!

Hey Yankee, appreciate the offer but the type of trout I fish for is about 25-30" long and at least 5-8 lbs. It's the saltwater trout, called the speckled sea trout or speck for short. I have fished for brownies and rainbows in Canada but don't have too many in this area. Here's one I recently smoked with a snapper.....

I try my hand at cooking and gardening. Love to look at the stars, but where I live it is hard to find clear nights.

Hunting and fishing are my main hobbies. I also airbrush, particularity ground metal art but have done things like signs, skateboards and even custom fishing lures. I dable in woodworking. I used to be a metal fabricator so once I get myself a welder I will be doing metal projects on side as well. Here are a few sample pictures

200 Sq ft garden for me, lots of tomatoes, also beans, peppers, okra, garlic, peas, cucumbers, and few melons every now and then, do a lot of home canning and freezing also.

I have worked my through so many hobbies in my lifetime I'd be hard pressed to list them all. At my advanced age I don't do much mechanical/gear head stuff anymore, not a lot of woodworking either though I still have all the equipment for when the need arises. I still do some motorcycle touring though the tent camping part has gone by the boards. I garden a little bit and occasionally cook up a batch of EtOH for personal consumption.

Thumbs up on the ETOH...Missouri allows 100gal.per adult resident...made a pot still and a fractionation column..used to make beer, til i realized there was just one more step to add

I retired at 55 (8 years ago come June).

We have two large gardens (both are each about the size of a 3 car garage). We can almost everything.

I am an all grain home brewer (I brew almost every weekend). I've brewed 8 (5 gals) batches so far this year. I keg mostly. I have about 300# of grain and 18# of hops on-hand right now.

I've vacationed in 49 States and over 24 countries (many of them many times) on 3 continents. With the travel I am also into photography, history, religion (for informational purposes only) and geography. I like looking at maps. One of those "orienteering" things I learned in the Army. I did 2 tours in Germany, one as a soldier (7 years), the other as an Army civilian (30 years) for a total of 9 years.

I used to mountain climb and ski in my 20s. I still like to hike when I can. I did 9 hikes in Hawaii 3-4 years ago. The time before that I hiked Diamond Head twice in the same week.

I have a Bear Legend 40# bow that I shoot in the back yard every once in a while.

I've been playing guitar since 1971. The oldest one I still have is my 1976 Fender Telecaster Deluxe. Most of the time (OK, every day) I'm picking on my Ovation Applause 12 string.

LIKE, LIKE, LIKE movies. (For me "like" is for objects and "love" is for people). My DVD collection is at about 1200.

Like DIYs and home improvements...getting rarer to find these some days though.

Oh, yeah, I smoke meat too.

Media restoration. Example:



I also do transfer and restoration of 78 rpm records; vinyl (LPs); reel-to-reel tapes; cassette tapes; consumer video (Beta/VHS/8mm); film (8mm/Super 8/16mm); and still photos in all formats.

Hey! Stay out of my lakes!!! Lol!:D

 

[amlong88]

Lol there's another lake up there that's a 4 mile hike in. Marten lake that one is beautiful. Don't know how many people go up there now. People were none existent in that area when i went as a kid.

This is SUCH a "guy" forum! :p

Gardening (flower and food), jewelry (silver and copper sheet only), guitar (acoustic), playing around with graphics software like PS/GIMP/Inkscape, woodworking/building (I designed my kitchen cabs in Sketchup and we built them ourselves, plus the only structure on this place we DIDN'T build is the house)...and yes, I knit, sew, cook, and all the other girly-things as well.

So there! :D
