Hobbies other than home repair.

Not me, when I need a cell phone I borrow one and have them punch in the numbers.

LOL. I do most of my socializing online. The great part about it is that I don't have to talk to people unless I feel like it. And if I read something and can't think of a response I can come back and respond later. While I may want to club some people with hammers, it helps that I'm not physically in the same room so I don't throttle them.

Who you calling geek? I run a tractor for a living.

 

[inspectorD]

One would think most of the regulars here are a little geeky (I know i am)

Yeah... no.. Farmer yes.. greaser, yes,... certain body parts... Yup on that one too...Technically Certified Wizard..from a few institutions...yes... but never a geek.

 

[zannej]

Maybe nerdy rather than geeky?

Beans beans the musical fruit....

Now I'm thinking of the scene from Blazing Saddles where the cowboys were all sitting around the campfire eating beans.

On a side note, I made a pencil box back in high school. The box was made from red meranti but I made the top from merbau. I had wanted a smooth look, but I used the wrong tool and ended up with this weird texture on the top.

and a lame acrylic painting I did in art class

 

[slownsteady]

Lame...by what standards? It's better than most people can do...and far better than I can do.

I can't draw a straight line with a ruler...

Well ... I hesitate to say ... but my biggest non-work hobby is singing classical music. Started in 7th grade and took it up seriously as an adult. Gets hard when you've been swallowing sawdust and dirt all day to shift gears and sing the finest music in human history ... BUT, you wanted to know.

 

[oldognewtrick]

Some of my best school memories, growing up in Cincinnati, was our trips to the symphony. I think it's best enjoyed in a live venue where you can see, feel and hear the music. Watching all the different components of the music always fascinated me. Good for you Villa!

 

[zannej]

I guess I consider it lame because it didn't turn out how I wanted it to look. I'd planned to paint in a tiger behind the leaves, but ran out of time on the project. I didn't get the shading right so it doesn't like as 3-dimensional as I'd wanted. I'm also bad with proportions and perspective.

Man, I can't draw a straight line with a ruler either. I always move the ruler. LOL.

 

[slownsteady]

I have a load of classical music mixed in with the rock & blues (and jazz) in my collection...and yes, even some choral pieces. I think it was Duke Ellington that said: "If it sounds good, it IS good."

resurrecting old threads. this one caught my attention.

my hobbies are a little weird. i collect rocks. yep.
my grandmother was a rock hound, she taught me how to find arrow heads and petrified wood geodes.
I have hundreds of arrow heads i have found over the years,
I also collect and polyurethane drift wood. Told you my hobby was strange!!!
The color of the wood and the texture, after it has been under water is amazing,
I spend a lot of time walking the river beds and Forrest. so why not

i target shoot.
reload all my own ammo
collect coins, oil lamps. and german beer steins
hunt, fish, i do not "camp" because i live where every one goes camping. just open the window!!!
tend a veggie garden.
and i am a die hard tinker'er. I drag stuff home tear it apart, see how what why
if some is broke around here, it does not get thrown away till i tear it up and fix it good!!!

yep, definitely weird hobbies

and cats, for some reason, they seem to be multiplying around here
must be some begatten going on !!!!

I mess around with my '67 GTO. I've had it for 7 years. It was my Dad's car since '91. It's a decent driver but will never be done!

Also, because of this hobby, I've become an avid tool collector.

 

[nealtw]

That is a nice hobby car.
