O/T what are your hobbies or things you do for fun?

Post by USMCVet » Sun May 20, 2018 3:19 pm

Curious what the many members here do for fun?

It's that time of year now where I like to camp. Here is one of the places I go. This particular spot you have to canoe to and it's free.

I also recently took up woodworking and tried my hand at making making cutting boards.

First one is an edge grain cutting board made from different pieces of walnut.

This second one is again all walnut but an end grain cutting board.

Being out in the Woods .... Ancient forests, hikes ... Love to explore and take photos in abandoned places; everything from houses to mental assylums... old ruins, churches, graveyards. . Also making soundscapes and collecting / recording sounds from all the places I explore ...

Writing, performing, and recording folk-influenced songs, for my own enjoyment and for irritating others near me.

That's really good! It would be awesome to have someone like you around camping around the camp fire.

Seriously good stuff!

Thanks for the kind words. Haven't been camping in a while. Gotta find somewhere away from the bear and Lyme-tick country I live in.

Baking cookies for the most part.
I bake 'em and give them away mostly to charitable groups.
350 dozen so far this year - looking to get to 700 dozen by the end of the year.

I play music. Flute, and oboe at this point mostly, but I have performed on clarinet, sax, and guitar as well.

I love antique jewelry and silver. I usually spend my weekends going to estate sales/garage sales/church bazaars etc looking for treasures. It is amazing how many wonderful items I've found over the years. It really is a great obsession ...errr, hobby. My avatar is almost always jewelry, and usually a piece that I've found in my "hunts".

During the week my hobby is swimming. I lane swim for an hour every day. It is almost like meditation for me, and afterwards I usually spend about 10 minutes in the sauna. I love it!

I admit I also enjoy a glass of wine or two at the end of the day. Listening to music with my husband and eating good food, spicy food especially, is heaven.

Just editing to add: I have so enjoyed reading these posts! Some very talented folks here, thanks for sharing the music and pictures.

Pot, maybe? Old age homes, I hope. Just joking, a nice thing to do in this messed up world. Hats off. Jim

Anyone have amateur radio license? I'm extra class and might be fun to talk over HF. I only am able to operate QRP . I mostly operate 20 meters. Need to set up new antenna.
