Sorry to hear that your health is stopping you from this great hobby.

Thank You!!
Now don't tell her I told you, but I got Mrs Bear to pose for that "Lazy Bear".
I couldn't figure out how much to shorten the top leg, with it being bent slightly in that "side" position.

I enjoyed your story. I entered ONE motocross race--no gloves--no money. First turn, I wiped out..Knuckles were scrapped in that hard dirt until my bones showed...First race ...Last race. Charlie

I just never put 2 and 2 together--Bear Carver...........Amazing


Thank You Charlie!!
LOL---A lot of people figure it's just somebody who carves Bear Roasts.:emoji_bear:

Catching Snook and Hobby Breeding these guys (Gouldian Finch's)
 
Fly fishing for tarpon, snook and redfish is my all time favorite hobby. Shoooting, playing the guitar...horribly and throwing $$$ into my jeep are some others.
What kind of shooting have you been doing? I was heavily into Cowboy Action Shooting before Covid. Did some reloading today getting ready to start up again. It felt good!
 
I don't have a lot of time for hobbies, but I do find time for some amateur gunsmithing, gun collecting, and shooting. I was going to say keeping the Mrs. happy but that's more of a task than a hobby.
 
Everything is a hobby, now that I'm retired.
Number 1 is golf, 6 days a week, easy since I live on a golf course, and out my back door is the 16th tee.
Then, when I have time, I like to jump on the Harley Road King, and just cruise around.
I also spend a lot of time trying to perfect my pizza. I have a Blackstone Pizza Oven, and am always reading the PizzaMaking.com forums.
Now, we add smoking to the list.
 
If I’m not smoking something, I am usually leaning on my workbench, gnawing on some jerky, trying to figure out how to do something. I haven riden motorcycles since 1971. When traveling for business, I would pass on the airplane ticket and ride. I got pretty good at thousand mile days. Now I am building one.

Almost every part is hand made with my welders, little lathe, and milling machine. As soon as I figure out the exhaust, it will be time to tear it down, finish welding, rebuild the engine, and paint.

I just finished this bracket for the tachometer.

Well, my wife says I have far too many hobbies, but I can't put down the things I love...
Hunting, shooting, reloading, especially bird hunting with my English Setter, but big game, small game, archery, I do it all. I'm also very involved with The Sons of The American Legion.
Music: I play keyboards, mostly the Hammond organ n blues and rock bands along with blues harmonica and have all kinds of gear to go with it.
Fishing: fortunately I live close enough to world-class trout fishing AND great saltwater fishing, too. I love the trout fishing and I fly fish and do a lot of fly tying in the winter months.
Oh and of course, BBQ and cooking... :emoji_laughing:
I could keep going but there's probably a limit on the amount of data I can use...
