I got over my GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome) a while ago.
I just plink around on my Martin 000-28EC now.
Only get the Thompson or Larrivee out once in awhile.
How are the biking and photography going? I miss those posts where you used to take us on your rides with you!

Thanks!

I'm still out on my bike on a regular basis. Have not done any
"off the beaten path" rides in a few years. Pretty much stay on the rides
around the house. Figure folks would get tired of the same old pics.

I stay hold up in my basement shop building band saw boxes. My newest toy
is a scroll saw. Just finished a flip top cabinet that houses the scroll saw and planer.
Still dabble in paracord art. Most current project is a greenhouse build.
Garden to plant in the next few weeks.

Loved your pictures also. How is your asparagus forest growing?
Right now the hobby I'm concentrating on is my vegetable garden. Love those fresh tomato, peppers, cukes, beans, peas, squash, lettuce, spinach, radishes, and herbs. Wished my garden was bigger for the bigger crops but then that increases the workload.

Thank you!

Two winters ago, I kilt my asparagus forest. Too much
straw on top for the winter. It smothered it.
I replanted in April and none of the crowns came up.
Getting ready to reload next week.

I grow giant watermelons. :D
Oh No! My wife is addicted to Watermelons. Soon she will be hauling them in, meaning I have to take her.... Jim

I'm the driver she does the carry. Last year we had one explode on the dining room floor, it was trying to make wine I guess.

My truck could carry it easy, but my wife couldn't carry it in. She barely gets the 1/2 sized seedless inside. Monster Watermelons Attack! Nice. Jim

Is it, getting banned from diabetes forums for telling the truth? :lol:

Actually I thought your hobby was being helpful to people on the Internet. But if you do other stuff, ya gotta post pictures or it don't count. :wink:

I make brandy...

To justify the quantities needed to dial in a good brew I also clean my CPAP equipment with it. I tend to clean more frequently than most and find that ethanol is much more pleasant than ozone... :)

Did you know that a standard CPAP hose holds just under 18 ounces of brandy?

From experience I can state that 80 proof brandy doesn't degrade the CPAP hose material... and that the CPAP germs in the hose don't degrade the brandy. :)

Well, after your 18 oz. of brandy, I think I now have some idea how your hoses get crushed.
