Cool, can't call you "Stinkpot"When the weather is fine, I love getting out on the water in my 14 foot Sparrow class sailing yacht. I've been sailing this boat since I was 12 years old and it's one of my favourite things to do. My Sparrow was built back in the mid 60's and I've done a bit of work to it over the years. I love it.

Thanks! I've been making knives for about 2 years. I don't have a forge or anything, I just get blade blanks and put them together with scales, G-10 liners, etc. It's fun, like a model kit but a little different.Those knives look outstanding! How long have you been making them Wolf?
What do ya fancy for slingin' lead?Do a lot of shooting and illustration plus some table top gaming.

Nice, for rifles, I'm a gas gun guy. Used to shoot a ton of Service Rifle Matches.Reigning favorite is a Seuss Schmidt Rubin G11 I bought a couple years ago. Found a load she likes and now she doesn't know how to miss!

No, Garands, M-14, and AR'sYou mean like air rifles?
Kinda want to get into them.
Air rifles are good if you live in town, I can sit in my kitchen with a window open and cut down some tree rats for chewing on my house.You mean like air rifles?

Keeping busy then.......PanthermanI am a retired php programmer so i still do web software coding on the side as a hobby. I also tried to learn to play the guitar (purchased one) but i cant even play the first note, my fingers just dont bend that way. Not sure if im giving up too early or just lost interest. I also enjoy gardening, fishing, and working in my shop doing misc projects.
East Texas summers are brutal so i have not even been in my shop for 3 months, just too dang hot and humid. But nice weather is just around the corner and end of sep to jan is so beautiful here. I wont be inside much during that time.
I am also restoring an old bass tracker boat, replacing the floor foam and the whole floor, its a huge job.
Myself though about picking up bass guitar, I realized too many other hobbies, fishing, shooting, reloading, building, and reading. Just not enough time with a full time job.I am a retired php programmer so i still do web software coding on the side as a hobby.
