Got Hobbies?

Bass mostly. I don't have a boat so whatever I can get from shore. As far as the garden I'm growing lots of veggies and trying out a hops plant this year. I have a wheelchair ramp from the previous owner I plan to tear out this weekend and turn the new space into a flower bed.

Will you brew anything with the hops?
 
Were you injured?

How long have you been playing?

I think things were building up as the result of normal aging. I had incidents of sudden sharp pain occurring over WIDELY intermittent periods for several years. But I greatly exacerbated whatever was happening about nine years ago when, for no particular reason, I bent over to see if I could still touch my toes. Turns out I couldn't. That was the moment of injury I identify as being the basis for all the pain and loss of motion I've suffered since. I've never been completely certain it was directly related to the other condition that may have been developing.

No matter. Once I got serious about fitness and put myself in the hands of a personal trainer, things steadily improved.

I took up golf late in life. Just before I turned 50. I only formally retired a few years ago, so it's still a "new" sport for me, and I'm not ready to give it up.

p.s. - You know John Williams?? Now that must be a story...
 
The way I heard it he was petting his Johnson and his hand hit in the face on the up stroke. Knocked him out.

I had crippling migraines for the majority of my life and only in the last year or so have I been pretty much pain-free. I appear to be getting better as time goes by and I feel better than I have...ever...right now. I'm glad to hear things are going better for you. Now that I'm not constantly in bed trying not to scream, I'm discovering the world is a fairly cool place.

I know OF John Williams. OF. Like I need another rumor.
 
I hope to. I haven't brewed in a good while and kind of miss it. I also do the civil war reenacting thing

My dad used to brew. Can't stand the smell and I don't drink beer, so...but I know he made good beer.

Ulaven makes mead now, he just made a mojito mead and he's working on getting a cherry mead next.

Doesn't smell! Woot!

It must be an age thing cos mine are no way near as severe or frequent now. Thank fuck.

Oh good! Mine was actually a massive B2 deficiency and if I take about 23,000% of the RDA, I'm fine.

Fortunately cheap and easy, unfortunately...one would think 23,000% of anything is probably a bad idea, so it never occurred to me.
 
I like to build and refinish furniture. There was a show I used to catch from time to time on the road. It features two brothers in New York taking old furniture and other things and making something interesting out of it. I would like to be creative like that.

What have you made?
 
Yell or sing? Or is that how you sing?

Do you have any recordings?

I sing aduecately for a campfire, but sub par for a stage or studio. We have better voices in the gang.

The current bunch have blueprints but nothing we're comfortable sharing.

My old band has our studio tinkerings floating around on random places like Soundcloud et al. Nothing ever made it to actual release. There was some vague interrest from a label, but we could never quite get our shit together.
 
hi reci :)

so many hobbies, but i rarely get time to do them which means the knitting and embroidery have been years, and the water colours i just broke out a couple of months ago after years but dabbled only for a day, haven't sewn any costumes for about 5 years (one needing to made shortly, though).

gardening has become a case of upkeep rather than the creativity i prefer (building ponds/making or changing soil levels n beds, that kind of thing) but after seriously cutting back the buddleia and elderberry out the back and tying branches in last year, this year i have a respectably solid archway leading onto the garden, which needs tidying again to uncover some of the crazy paving and newer beds from last year.

where i work full-time, the main hobbies i get to indulge in are reading (all sorts), and writing and critiquing others' poetry. i'd love the time and kind of kitchen to play around with cookery more as well.

pretty much i like making things, but spend most my time at work or asleep!
 
Edited out photos by request - short time show only.

Thanks chillywilly2!

But you can say you're in a band!
