Hobbies

Answering questions on Discussion Boards, canning, dehydrating, stockpiling foods, researching man's history and 2012, genealogy, reading, webmastering, photography, sleeping, getting old and eating.
 
Cooking, photography (a hobby only now), bonsai and some hunting.

I might add that a neighber told me he wants to get me into fly fishing which I might like to try. I've never cared for the Bass Fishing thing of huge boats and electronic everything. I see too many who invest more into that then their house.

Books- reading/writing, the arts, collecting various things, travel, PBS/NPR, flea markets/antiques shoppes, and I'm a news/politics-junky!

I love flea markets and bargain shopping. Collecting cookbooks, kitchen gadgets, teddy bears and Winnie The Pooh anything.
 
I'm a woodworker in real life and I'm lucky because I love what I do and even though I do it for a living, it really is more like a hobby in the fact that I enjoy it so much.

I also build models, play guitar (not often enough), and go shooting. I don't hunt because I don't have the stomach for gutting and cleaning, but I do enjoy target shooting and find it very relaxing.
 
Reading (seems like a common one), pewter casting (raw amateur at it yet), messing around with computers, astronomy. It all keeps me pretty busy.
 
What about hobbies we hope to ONE DAY seek out and embark upon?

I hope to one day make time to learn to play cello- or the harp. I also speak just enough Spanish to make me wish I were fluent- so I'd love to take classes at some point. I'd love to learn to work a potter's wheel, and also work in stained glass. And learn to make bent willow furniture!
 
I have LOTS and LOTs of hobbies and interests. Gardening, Painting and art of all types, Rock Hound, Cooking, Exercise, Canoeing, Hiking, Camping, Traveling, Snorkeling, Fashion, Singing, Ballroom and Latin Dance, Reading, nutrition, I love to learn new things. As for new things I want to learn to speak German more fluently so I can communicate better with my husbands parents. I just need to find the time.
 
I thought all women naturally knew how to throw pottery and everything else, with pretty good aim too. :D
 
It's easy to throw pottery. Hold it in your hand, cock back your arm and........ :) I'd kind of like to learn Gaelic so I can cuss out the local traffic cops and they won't have a clue what I said. :0

Hey I might even get realy good at dancing if I could just get in more practice!

The best part of fishing is eating your trophies!!!:D My son once caught a 227 lb. Marlin and they smoked it, I asked him why he did not have it mounted and he said "Why"? I guesshe had a point there! After a while all those trophies hanging on the wall get so dusty! LOL

Astronomy is fun. I have a celestron Nexstar6SE scope I get out with as much as possible and I'm planning on a camera for it one day. My next additions are going to be a couple ED eye pieces, a dialectric diagonal and a better red dot finder. I just gave my 8 inch Dob to my son because his daughter got interested. I have Stellarium on my laptop, a free program that lets you project where stars, planets and satellites will be as well as control computerized scopes with the addition of Stellarium Server and ASCOM drivers. All the software is free for download.

I am truly impressed, it is a fascinating hobby and you have some great equipment!!! And Astro Photography is a marvelous hobby. There is something almost mystical about peering out into our sky at night, it is BEAUTIFUL!!! Even just looking at Pleiades through a good pair of binoculars is breath taking!
 
I really dig the sky and stars too. AND dancing- though I do not personally dance- but I enjoy all the "Dancing w/ the Starz" type tv shows that are out there.

Astronomy AND ballroom dancing? What a mix, huh? But then, knowing ME- no one is surprised are they? Ha! :):):)
