Got Hobbies?

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..

Wow, that's really nice! There is no substitute for modern technology is there? I will never be a devoted rider like you but rather a go to town and back kind of guy. If I had a better memory I would post my Sportster, its nice to look at.
 
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.

It sounds like you just have just printed up cards and called it "good."
 
I am part of two steampunk groups and also do LARP mysteries.

I also track people down for fun, right Reci? :D


I design fairly complex treasure hunts and run a scavenger hunt twice a year. I got Byron helping with the treasure hunt last year, at first he complained, but then afterwards he said "That was great, when do we do the next one!"

What have you been working on?

Pic-TURES. Pic-TURES.

You tracking me down is my favoritest hobby ever.

I was thinking of doing GISHWHES this year, I'm registered but not motivated quite yet. Might donate my registration.

Pretty much. Success, even the most moderate kind, apparently takes dedication and effort, which were in short supply.

"What, we have to rehearse? But that's like work... Oh all right. But next week. I have a thing."
 
Web Design and Development


Right now, I'm learning how to code.

Code?

I learned code back in the early 1960s for an IBM 1401 Mainframe running on punched cards. It was machine code, specific to that model, so my ancient skill is now useless.

I learned far more than code. I was the junior manager responsible for the punch card operators - 25 of them. They were young ladies aged between 15 and 25. I was 19.

They taught me a lot. :D

My dad was one of the first programmers for IBM. I've had a home computer since they became available, an IBM 5150.
