I was Betty White’s gigolo.
I need a new hobby.
I need a new hobby.
That painting is quite nice. I've piddled with acrylic paining, primarily landscapes, for over 20 years with varying degrees of success.
I like to paint miniatures for sci-fi war gaming more specifically warhammer the Horus heresy. I don’t have access to my miniatures right this seconds so I apologize for lack of pics.
Where to begin? My tastes and interests are catholic (small "c"); I collect Modern First Edition books, art books, comics, toys, art; enjoy craft beer (love Other Half), collecting and drinking whiskies (partial to Islay, some Japanese, and Buffalo Trace Antique); huuuge fan of Mixed Martial Arts/UFC (watch regularly); into high-end audio and collect and listen to LPs and CDs; almost went to cooking school instead of art school; love cigars and pipes. This list goes on, but that covers a good bit.
If you enjoy those, then you really need to try high jinks, horseplay, tom foolery and monkey business!
I like to read, mostly theology, bike riding, writing, some photography, entertaining and cooking. Lately refinishing pipes. I'm going to try reshaping them soon. Four torn tendons in my shoulder and two bad knees have put my motorcycle days on the shelf for a few years. One of these days, I'll get back into performing improv in some venue.
Golf and the Ukulele. I’m terrible at both!
I'm too lazy to write it all out again but below is a link to my hobby of mineral & micromount collecting/making that I posted here some while ago.

In no particular order -- Golf, Fishing/Boating, and Meat Processing (smoking, sausage making, etc.)
My adopted son was on Dana White's Contender Series last year. He lost to an older guy with more experience. He's still training and fighting regionally occasionally though I'd rather he not. My natural son was a wrestler through high school and college. He's studied Muay Thai, Kick Boxing, Boxing and Jujitsu. When ever they meet new guys their age at like a BBQ at our house, the new young guys do what young guys do and ask them to show them their stuff. It's fine with me since house rules are there are no kicks or punches. Inevitably those new guys end up getting twisted into pretzels. lol

... and a healthy love for pipe tobacco? Talk about expensive hobbies
But I took got bit by the golf bug, have been absolutely addicted since the original pandemic - renovated my house to accommodate for a putting green and short game chipping nets.

A baby cousin introduced this to me recently and what a fun activity! But what a strain on my poor eyes! I feel like after painting just one little dude my eyes can no longer focus on anything at a distance. LOL can't imagine doing a whole "army"
Would love to see some of your stuff!
That must getting a little 'stiff' by now!
Amen to that. I have six of my own and two srep children. I wouldn't hVe it any other way. The oldest will be 27 this month and the youngest turns 5 in June.
Kids (two boys 7 and 4), working wife, a work schedule which involves a lot of weekend & evening or night work demand and all other obligations so I really don't have a lot of time. But family is the most important anyway, so can't complain. If I do have spare time I like to read a book, watch a movie (no particular genre, just what appeals at that moment, with all those streaming services easy peasy), go for a hike/bike ride, the kids who go nuts on Nintendo Switch games and I enjoy them also so that's a good excuse to also play kids games, we also enjoy a board/dice game now and then. If the 21st century plague allows I want to go on skiing trips again (Austria or Italy) and we have a RV we enjoy, we go camping about 4 to 5 weeks a year.
@Laurent @Streeper541 those are some badass trucks, to bad driving those will be costly or I should convert them to LPG with 2 euros a litre for gas, LPG is much cheaper when you can get a permit for using it as a van. Yes your read that correct, a litre, not a gallon, so that would be around 8 euros a gallon.

It’s winter here and I don’t drive it in the snow, so I get 7 months off of getting 19 kilometers to the litre ?
I have a firearms blog and podcast which I started in 2014.
According to his post in another thread he is a professional monkey wrangler - some people prefer not to mix business with pleasure?
I asked Betty about this, here was her response. I was afraid to ask her if I could sniff her finger.
This is beginning to sound like an want add for personal affection.??
