Got Hobbies?

The Triumph looks pretty straightforward, I see a ton of mods on the Sportster in pictures.

My poor triumph was butchered into a dirt bike but the Harley is dead stock. I hope to return the triumph to its former self some day soon. Love those old British bikes.

Dead stock? Does that mean entirely factory issue?
 

Oh thank you! Are you going to miss all that a lot?

You're going to have to get used to all new plants soon, huh?

Having moved around the country enough here, I'm getting to the point where I can tell where a TV show was filmed. "That's not Baltimore, that's Canada." "That's not Connecticut, that's Southern California."

Lately it's not hard to guess that most things are either in Canada or California.

Daredevil actually filmed in Brooklyn. Nobody does that anymore, you need to go to Canada!

the first ones are from over the park, the 'bird tree' and others are my small front garden, and the rest were from an afternoon at southend. will i miss them? don't think i'll get a chance - H lives in 68+ acres plot of woodland, pasture, yard, with a big pond (i mean BIG) and a little one, all set in a sheltered valley amongst limestone hills.

there are different plants to meet, but so many we share that make it feel familiar already like elderberry and maple and lilacs, marigolds and bluebells and pear and strawberries and so many more. i'm really looking forward to investigating the flora and can't wait to see all the wildlife that visits on a daily basis! and hummingbirds! i've never met a hummingbird before!

the very best part? is being with H :heart: but the rest is all icing on the cake as i'm a country girl at heart and always will feel more relaxed and at one with the world when i'm amidst the greens, blues and browns out of urban life.

That's right, I learned last year that only North America had hummingbirds, it made me sad for the rest of the world. We have them around here. Angry little things. Once you get over the "Awww..." you notice they're really aggressive little guys. Mean. Mean-cute. Does he have a feeder for hummingbirds?

I'm definitely a country girl.

I'm So Excited For You! There's hopping.
 
Yes exactly. 44 years old and showroom condition. Like me, but younger.

My BSA M20 from 1944 is still being ridden. I bought it in the 1960s from a dealer in ex-army motorcycles. It had 300 recorded miles from new in 1944. I sold it to a cousin who has passed it on to his son. They still have the spare engine, crated and unused.

Unfortunately I can no longer safely ride motorcycles except at a closed event.

i'd always thought of them as oriental kind of birds.

they are? ha, they look so cute on tv :D then again, so do robins but they can be murderous little buggers. yes! feeders. *nods* set up right by the windows for best views.

were you brought up out in the countryside, reci? my lads are definitely more at home in suburban/urban surroundings than countryside, which makes me feel a bit sad for them.

(hopping, lol)

You have no idea how much I do appreciate that!! There is something very special about the BSA and Triumphs of the world. Tried and true technology that served for well over half a century. There is nothing like the sound of a british twin motorcycle. I am going to a very special vintage motorcycle show this weekend in the Monterey area. I am sure to see some bikes that old and older. Thank you so much for posting that.

Asians can't have EVERYTHING that's pretty.

They are really aggressive, yeah. We had a feeder right out our window and Ulaven held up a fist to celebrate seeing one, and it moved right toward him and hovered there, and I swore I heard "U wot m8?"

I prefer country. I've moved around a lot, but when my parents first built this house, it was in the middle of a cow pasture. Now it's lots and lots of upscale homes, but with the park within sight past our back yard I'm straight into wilderness in minutes.

We heated the house by wood stove when I grew up, so we'd also travel down to another patch of ground in Southern New Jersey to chop wood, during the summer. My parents always took us to National Parks for vacation. Lots and lots of camping and hiking all over the country.

Even after I moved away, they'd have the family out on trips. When I was one month pregnant with my daughter I hiked the High Sierra Loop in Yosemite. A few years back we all went to Denali in Alaska, got to meet thor.
 
I make jewelry. I do counted cross stitch. I sew. I take pictures of things.

What kind of jewelry? I have made jewelry and cross stitch. I do know how to sew and I have a machine but I haven't made anything in a while.

My jewelry was not the best though. I sometimes wear it, it tends to be silver and amethyst, rose quartz.

I'll see if I can find some pictures. Most of them won't turn your ears green ... immediately.
 
I design and make quilts, crochet, knit, counted cross stitch, photography and one or two other things. If I could figure it out I'd post photos.

One easy thing to do, take pictures on your phone, make an Imgur account, upload photos, link to here. I'd love to see them.

The house I'm in has quilts on almost every wall, my mother has made so many that I have several in storage, one she's made for her first great-grandchild. So far she's out of luck but hopeful.

My uncle owned a BSA when I was a pre-teen. I say owned because he probably spent three times as many hours working on it as he did riding it. I remember him always complaining about "damn British wiring".

I've been riding since I was old enough to throw one leg over a 3.5 HP mini-bike. Currently riding a 2008 Honda VTX1800T, the "Monster" Reci referred to..

What are you studying?

Learning is my favorite thing, I'm lucky to have a brain that lights up when I learn something new.
