I have a similar interest. That goes for cymbals too.

When I am not training my Tigers, I am on the Pro Mudwrestling Tour (PMT).
I'm a drummer. Mostly reggae and sometimes good ol' rock and roll. Recording and performing in and around NYC.
I collect and listen good quality LP records. Mostly classical and jazz.
Also I do some traditional woodworking with hand tools, making stuff for me, friends and family.
And I do fishing and maintenance on a 35yo wooden boat, which is more than a hobby.

I actually have quite a few. I have dabbled in blacksmithing, wood working (joinery specifically), and making medieval armour. I hunt, fish, and enjoy being outdoors, but I don't consider them hobbies, part of my life. I brew beer, and study and recreate the history of the first third of the sixteenth century Germany, specifically the Holy Roman Empire. I have learned the skills needed to employ a sword against another man, but sadly my body no longer lets me pursue this passion. I am currently attempting to build a matchlock arquebus. I shoot firearms competitively, SASS, USPSA and three gun. Oh yeah, my family likes Mopars. I think that's all.
Straight razors, single edge razors, double edge razors...shaving stuff.
I'm military so I have to shave so I figure I'd better enjoy the process. In addition to shaving my face I'm also a head shaver.
Who would do such a thing?
Great, isn't it?
Buuuuzzzzz :: General Discussion
Been giving my son buzz cuts due to having tubes in his ears and trying to keep water out of them. He's four. Today after trimming his hair, he looks at me and says, "Next"! "Me"? "Uh-huh"! I love it! :rofl:

it's akin to pipe smoking for me in several ways. When I first started I felt overwhelmed with all there was to learn. Once I learned it became therapeutic and a way to destress. I like that my hobbies help me to slow down and enjoy my experience. Both encourage thoughtful contemplation and have contributed to my days in positive ways...That sounds a little cheesy and more then a little zen, but totally true.
When everyone in the house sees me getting my shaving stuff out of my tobacco closet, they all go away. They know it's Daddy's "me" time. Generally take an hour to do a steaming towel, preshave, lather in my scuttles, shave, cold wash, post shave, aftershave, and cleanup.
The rest of the time in my life is taken up by hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, cooking, and amateur astronomy. There's something incredibly peaceful about taking my telescopes to a dark sky site in the middle of the desert and observing the (visible) universe, usually while having a pipe as well.
We can joke about a lot of different things but mud wrestling should remain pure. It should only be busty women in bikinis or tank tops and cutoff shorts in my opinion. Is nothing sacred anymore lol.

I enjoy reading a lot and a bit of writing. Though I don't have a sophisticated palette and would prefer pizza, I apparently a pretty good savant of a cook. I put things I I don't think I'd like but I think my wife would love and 9 times out of 10, she does so I do the cooking for company.
I also enjoy shooting pistols with my kids at the range. I like shooting precharged air rifles which I can do in the basement in the winter with a silencer and not bother anyone. My wife and I enjoy biking quite a bit. This is my favorite bike. We can get a weeks worth of groceries in it and it rides like a dream. Clearly no spandex for me.
I also enjoy motorcycling and scootering. Since I live in an urban area, I prefer a scooter since most of the time with my last motorcycle, I never got out of second.
I did improv comedy for years. I'm considering doing it again.

Soaring is my passion. Have had partnerships in two aircraft, one to the left. When I grow up (62 now) and this pandemic eases, I'd like to build an aircraft that falls under FAR Part 103 - powered ultralight. Some are pretty cool and actually look like mini-planes! No license or medical required.

I also have a Vespa 150 Primavera, and a Harley Softtail Slim S. I don't really consider them "hobbies" - but I like riding.

I'm looking for an air rifle with silence for plinking in the back yard. Any recommendations?
Having 3 of my 7 kids living at home (age 7, 6, and 1) and my wife and I working full time, I don't have much 'SPARE TIME' anymore for hobbies. However, there are things I am into. LOL. I have a 70's chevy van and we like to travel and camp and hit Van Runs in the van. We also had a 70's Dodge van and 3rd Gen Ford van, but we sold those this year. The wife and I both have our own motorcycles (I have a Shovelhead, she has a Sportster) and ride in the rare chance we can get away. I enjoy picking one of my banjos when things are calm enough at home to do so. Due to our hectic schedules and the kids, we typically just go to the beach and drink on our weekends and have a fire outside in the evenings to relax.
wow!
No time like the present. I did French in elementary school and was passable in France.
