Seems to me that no matter what hobby your into there is an industrial complex behind it to drive you into insanity! There is always the upgrade, MKII, and newer better technology that keeps us running like rats to a dumpster! I’m a golfer, boat owner (blow and motor), enjoy good wine, scotch and bourbon. And yet still fall prey to the hype of what I think is better rather than what I known is good! Off to the dumpster...

Sports was my main bliss ex-pro baseball( minors) until I blew out my pitching arm, then an USTA 5 tennis player until I blew out the other arm. Picked up some sticks and was a USGA 7 handicap when I blew out my back. Now I'm a newbie audiophile until I blew out my ... not yet lol. I currently enjoy photography been in a number of shows. |
DeKay....Oh, I'm sorry! Here I was hoping that your prose was potentially posed with a preference poised on the more typically (and previously posted by others) prefered leisure activity...*chagrined G* We don't have many rodentia in this immediate area; they are in town, just not 'here'. Back in Houston, our neighborhood had a protected black squirrel, about the size of a large guinea pig. They had 'crosswalk rights', and generally treated in a royal fashion...for a squirrel, anyway...*L* There's always this, to keep them in shape...or to breed a more intelligent local variety... https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=322483618737526 ...but that could be counterproductive on a number of levels...;) Squirrel thugs @ the door....*bangbangbang*... "'K, home....where's the nut stash? You holdin'?" *high pitched leathered leader with his posse'....* glupson wants to know where we find time for a hobby or hobbies... Well, despite being 'technically retired', and expected to work 'on real work' 24/7/52/inf. or 24/365.25/inf. (same thing, tho....).... I go 'on strike' in the evenings while spouse is engaged watching 'food porn' on the sat stations.... I can only handle watching chefs opening a mystery basket of items I might not eat in the first place and whipping up an item that the judges get to eat Cold after the crew has reset for the shots....and telling X contestant that it's inedible....but tasty in some ways...🙄 (One could say my 1st hobby is becoming a better escape artist...*L*) I've been messing with audiomisc. for the better part of 50 years. Know enough to listen/read more than talk/write and prove that I don't know Everything about Anything.... Have yet to meet anyone who does. Rest of the time available to f'about with is working on making the improbable with very little. When I learn to do the impossible with nothing, we're all in trouble.*S* Todays' hot tip? Cleveland artist making a pointilism Prez portrait with steel 'items'....and just in time....;) Regardless, J |
