Other than scrolling...

[Travis]

Other than scrolling/woodworking, what else do you enjoy doing with your spare time?

[Dan]

Call me crazy, but I love mowing the yard. I also like growing trees and we have a veggie garden. Also, live drinking a beer and listening to the ballgame.

Fishing. Love to be on the water. Fishing pole in one hand, cold beer in the other.

[Clayton717]

I love to draw and paint, reading and just spending time with friends and family

[Kepy]

Spare Time? What is that? Even though I am retired (tired yesterday and retired today), I never seem have any spare time. Even have difficulty finding scrolling time. I have started a large garden and am currently working 8 hr days for the Census so even have difficulty finding time to scroll.

Rock climbing, sky diving, running marathons that sort of thing OH yes lying on my lounger dreaming.......

... I like reading a good book, walking and just chilling out........Paul

[Marshall]

Besides working full time and doing scroll work in the cool months I guess I could say planting my garden and yard work ..........Marshall

This is a toughy!!!

 

I like to be creative especially challenged by it, I think that's why I choose the projects I elect to pursue. I find that if the project is too simplistic I become easily bored and loose interest. I have done cross stitch, crochet, knitting, clothing, alterations, quilting, and more. I found that I enjoyed that through applying variation from the norm, doing what others suggested could not be done, primarily because they were intimidated to try, was were I found my pleasure. Art is not just about doing what others do and doing it there way, it is about making other see what you see or cannot be seen. I do this with writting short stories and poetry, as well as the various craft items I have designed. I enjoy science and the why and how approach of what makes things work. Mathematics, specifically geometry, and physics. Watching nature and the way it works in a haronious rhythm. Even this goofy bird who is determined to make her nest inside our gas grill (I have evicted her three times, but she's back again). Observing people and how they interact or do not interact with one another.

 

As for liesure, fishing, gardening, watching and playing with my labradors and their endless comedy, Chasing and capturing the numerous varmit Phsycho, our cat, brings into our home to demonstrate her worth and value (mice, birds rabbits, squirrels, and the occasional garder snake). Discovering the humor in life. Reading a good book. Doing suduko puzzles, being weird and goofy, making other people smile. Dressing up in my clown costume (which is not a good idea if you need to go to the bank). Tinkering with my car, although now my husband feels that's his responsibility. Being with supportive family and friends. Listening to my husbands hunting and fishing stories ( some I feel are exagerations). Trying to see the logic in the illogical. Finding the best time to make our bed, as determined by the cat and our black lab who tends to sleep until noon. Making game out of the monotonous tasks of housework and paying bills. Dabling in various activities take a new, scroll sawing and wood work. Being active in my neighborhood, assisting in watch programs and assisting when appropriate in their lives and activities. Doing unexpected nice things for strangers. Having absolutely nothing pressing to accomplish so I can spend the day in total peace and leisure (extremely rare).

[cherie]

Being home, mowing the yard (as long as the rider is working), crocheting, and reading.

[amazingkevin]

[buddy08]

[dankc908]

[deerwatcher76]

Fishing, guns, and outdoors. We have guns numbering in the teens. We have two boats now, a Bass Tracker for the river and large lakes, and a small ten footer for the smaller ponds. We have over twenty rods and reels and enough camp gear to take care of a small army unit. I like tinkering with my "toy", my '82 blazer that now gets a whopping ten miles per gallon, but has more power than it can safely handle.
