Can't believe after all these years we still don't have a thread about hobbies.
I'm getting back into woodworking. Been feeling the desire to build stuff lately. I do lots of DIY home repair/improvement, but I've been wanting to build other stuff. Going to make some owl houses with my 15 year old. She's psyched to learn. I'm psyched to have owls nesting in the yard to keep the mice down. Little fuckers. But I've been looking into ways of improving my "shop" (garage) and tools. Building a circle cutting jig and a drill press table in the near future. Circle jig is for my Stanley Cup stick project (still not done after beginning like 10 years ago
). One of my New Year's resolutions is to finish projects that I've started and/or bought materials for. The list is daunting, and largely home improvement stuff.
I'm also still hoping the skatepark down the road gets rebuilt soon. It's in planning now. I'll be happy to skate some small vert, but street isn't in the cards much these days. My knees would just be like "fuck you, fatty!" and give out. But vert isn't as taxing, and I am pushing hard (pun fully intended) for a bowl, so I can just carve around a ton.
Still hoping to get some surfing in, although I'm busy enough this summer that I likely won't have time. Again.
I've already noted March 10th starts daylight savings so it'll get dark at 7 pm here in NY, so I'll be riding my bike a shitload then. Hoping to do at least 20 miles/day, which sounds like a lot, but isn't bad at all when the days are longer. Doing another long trip this summer so I need to get in shape for it.
What do you guys do in "free" time?
