Hobbies…and my bookshelf

A simple visualization of what I like to focus on in life.

Family & Friends - I enjoy a good story-telling session.

Water - Being outdoors and on the water is where I think I’ll retire.

This Old House - Our house was built in 1941, currently restoring our home to its original glory.

Bicycles - Collecting, building, restoring, fixing, riding. ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Cooking - I find it one of the more creative and satisfying chores.

Gardening - It’s a lifelong experiment fraught with failures and occasional success.

Garage Night - Once a week, just me the bros fixin’ stuff, planning our next move.

Kickball - It’s exercise I swear.

Yard Work - Give me a good audiobook, a yard of mulch and I’m happy.

Beer - Cicerone-certified. I think beer is not only fun to explore, it’s technical and wildly diverse.

Car Guy - I’ve built Hondas, Harleys, and Jeeps. Anything with a motor and I’m tickled.

Lifelong Tinkerer - It pains me to throw away broken things.

“A hobby is a regular activity done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure time, not professionally and not for pay. Participation in hobbies encourages acquiring substantial skills and knowledge in that area. A list of hobbies changes with renewed interests and developing fashions, making it diverse and lengthy.”
