So... What OTHER Hobbies Occupy Your Time?

[JackOrion]

Could have been the most expensive pipe in my collection but I know better. Fly Tying and fishing gets the biggest slice of the money cake. Not sure what the bust of Captain Angus thinks about it but he doesn’t have much say anyway.

It’s not that I needed another vice. No more than another pipe. But this one! This one has reached the end of its limited run and I was only able to locate two remaining pieces in the wild.

I told my wife that it’s getting ugly out there and I was beautifying my sanctity. She didn’t give me any grief but I think the reality is she feels sorry for me because we don’t live anywhere close to decent trout waters and she knows tying flies keeps my spirit energized. This hunter green Renzetti master vice is more than just a tool.

Also reading (fond of medieval lit, and some beloved early/mid 20th century Christian British authors), traditional archery (switched from wheel-bow to trad many years ago), hiking/camping/canoeing, armchair theology/philosophy/liturgics, etc.
At one point, regenerative gardening was my life(i use to grow flowers and even made red roses delivery to people), but I've since moved to a property ill-suited to that and haven't figured it out here yet.
I tried making a few fly rods, but am the world's most unsuccessful fly fisherman and apart from an annual token attempt I've given up on it.
I used to bow hunt most years, but I haven't been out in a few.
In a previous life I was part of a whisk(e)y tasting group, and was also semi-serious about collecting big beers to age (but I almost never drink anymore as it doesn't comport well with some physical goals -- I now drink only on special occasions).

Well i am also a reader myself=) Gardening...well yes it is a cool thing to me. I also tried it, but frankly my skill was not so great, or i just didn't have much time to do this, but anyway, now i am concentrated on farming and this is kinda fun, but also there is a lot of work to do

I’m looking for a passenger side one for a 1957, 2 door Chevy Bel-Air. Does it matter if it’s a convertible? Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a convertible or hardtop. Blade should be the same.
See if this is what you are looking for.

I cook for the old and ill. Over the years I've fed over 7,000. A good feeling all the way around

Right now.. Not much. Occasional reading, listening to music.. DE razor.. That's about it. It's winter, so I stopped playing with espresso machine.

Small game season starts next month here in NJ so some quail & pheasant (stocked by the state) and the occasional trap or skeet round. And in between blowing leaves and blowing leves and blowing leaves.

Oh. I do bake breads. But I put it as eating than hobby. If it was a hobby, I might get fat or die from starvation.

Straight answer: Ukuleles, dulcimers, autoharps, modular synthesizers ... now at 72, more playing than collecting. Gradually rehoming my musical instrument collections. I used to play and collect guitars, and I still like to read about them. And then, there are the dogs.

Playing bass along with records in the solitude of my own house.
