DnvrFox, I sing 1st tenor in a group similar to yours at our church. Also sing in adult choir.

I was really active in amateur radio for a number of years, but not so much lately. Same story on golf.

Current hobby interest other than cycling is handloading and shooting pistols and revolvers.

Golf********** Nobody mentioned golf???? OK, golf!

My big interest is getting my 3D animation career back on track, by making animated shorts. This website will show you some of what I've done in animation and 3D in general. Point Happy Interactive

My other interests include helping out the Bicycling Advocacy of Central Arkansas, doing graphics, helping with events.

And of course, having been recently divorced, I'm getting back into the dating realm.

Thank you. Your group sounds pretty good, too.

I play drums in a rock band. I'm also a railroad enthusiast. (both prototype and HO scale.)

It is to catch the rotten tomatoes!

Opera. I have season tickets to Vancouver and Seattle Opera companies, and being close to Seattle, I can't help but be a Wagnerite. I've seen the Ring five times (3x Seattle, plus Arizona (Glyn Ross's Flagstaff production) in 1998 and San Francisco in 1999. My biggest regret this year is missing Canadian Opera Company's Ring in Toronto last month, but I had just started a new job... I was also going to do a bike trip from Vienna to Budapest, and was planning to see Lohengrin at the Staatsoper and Meistersinger at the Komische Oper, but same thang with the job, oh well... Opera is a great way to meet very classy and beautiful women, too.

I used to play classical guitar, but my MBA and CMA studies got in the way, but I'm easing back in. And one of my life goals is to learn to play the accordion. I'd love to stand in front of a big crowd with an accordion and yell, "Everrrrrybody polka!"

I teach cross country skiing part-time during the winter, and I used to do some racing. This led to doing some biathlon, and the amount of hassle required to get the permits in Canada to acquire a .22 Russian biathlon rifle was so great that once I had the Possession/Acquisition license, I went out and got a few more higher-powered firearms. So I also like to do some target shooting with an AR-15, trap shooting with a 12-gauge shotgun, and practical shooting with a standard 9mm handgun (Czech-made CZ-75B), although I'll probably replace that with something like a Para-Ordnance .40 S&W. Vancouver tends to be a very gun-shy peace loving town just full of freaky tree-huggers, and I just love to see the looks on people's faces when they realize they are face-to-face with a real gun freak, heh, heh...

I have no interests. Seafoam says I am the world's most boring human.

Digital Gee

I guess Seafoam doesn't know me.

And you DO have a hobby. You redo avatars.

What an amazing bunch. So many varied interests and activities.

My high school recently set up a web page where classmates can share their "profiles" including their interests and activities. So, my graduating class (1957) has a few entries. This is NOT Classmates.com, a web site I have grown to detest, and have never paid my $25 annual fee. Grrr! What a rip-off, IMHO.

I am amazed at how boring some of those 66-67 yo entries are. It is like some of them have already stopped living, and just sit around occupying space and using the earth's resources without being involved in the world any more.

It is "grandchildren," travel or just a blank entry, except for a few "busy" folks. Maybe these are just modest!

I have always been convinced that busy folks (i.e., avid bicyclists) are busy in all parts of their lives.

Once again, I am proud to be a participant in this bicycling group!

Although cycling and mountain biking take most of my time, I enjoy doing many things outdoor especially hiking. I've recently begun taking a scretch pad with me and fnding a beautiful spot up in the hills and drawing away. Hope someday to turn all the scretches into watercolors.

I also like doing alot of indoor girly things - you know - crafty stuff. I make greetings cards, collages etc. And I also like music. Spend way too much downloading to my iPod.

Also love movies but just seems like I never make it to a theater anymore. High prices (even with the senior discount) and rude patrons keep me home. With Net Flix and large home TVs so much easier to enjoy movies at home.

Mmmm after reading this I sound alittle boring... guess this weekend I'll spend some time in the garage trying to come up with a cure for boredom! That usually means breaking down and cleaning bikes.

They may have stopped being part of the world a while ago. Even on the dating sites, the preponderance of people my age seem to have grandchildren, TV and going to Outback as their main activities. There are some women on there, younger than me who look decades older.

I got tired of answering inquiries from these people. My values tend to be skewed from the average American so I rewrote my entry to include enough about me to almost offend some of them. It's worked. The numbers of responses has dropped dramatically, but the quality has gone up immensely. I just want one person.

DnvrFox

And are you going to share your "rewrite" with the rest of us? Please!

Wow! All kinds of interests and talents out there! Other that bicyling (3,000 miles this summer) I keep myself busy with building and flying small airplanes, raising and training English Cockers, backyard welding designing and building "stuff," ham radio projects, fly fishing, pheasant hunting, photography, shooting black powder antique firearms, primitive archery and flintknapping, (just getting into that - just what I need, another hobby!) spoiling grandchildren then leaving them to their parents, and scuba diving like ColoPenguin. Lots of reading come winter.....
Penguin - we usually dive Cozumel for a few weeks every winter - whan are you going? May run into you there.
My wife keeps telling me I'll have to get a job so I have time for all my projects! I don't sing, but she does and plays in a concert band as well.

I was, and still am a keen gardener. I used to show Alpine Plants and became quite proficient- but all these hobbies take time that I do not have. You imagine showing Alpines- and I was spending 3 hours a day preparing the plants for next year, let alone for the shows in the next couple of months and weekends were travelling and showing on Saturdays and working in the greenhouse(s) on Sunday. 3 hours a day is not bad but try doing a job and the shows are in the winter months when daylight is a problem.

Then there was computing- But I still spend more than enough time on the damn thing even now.

Then there are the bikes- No need to say any more- except that the New bike shed now has electrics so I can prepare them late into the Nights- and I have decided to really get back into my First main hobby. Went out last weekend and bought a s/h 12 string guitar. Used to play Bass and Double bass in a local group that could boast that it played as warm up to Jimmie Hendrix and The Cream in our- and their - early days. I know a 12 string is not the same as a bass guitar- but It does sound better unacompanied.

Lots of interesting things! Biking is my new passion, I've always loved reading, do lots of it. Volleyball, I coach the 6-8 grade girls, gives me a chance to play with them some, and watching them go from never touching a volleyball to being able to play is the greatest. My husband andI have a ranch, so I do quite abit of horse back riding, this is what seems to get cut to make time for my biking. Work full time and have one child still in high school.

Ranked competitive shooter - Highpower mostly, as well as dabbling in metallic silhouette, NRA 3-position, and IPSC. Love to hunt - mostly birds, but really like getting out after wild hogs. If any of you California rural types have a hog problem you want fixed, just let me know.....

I'm also a NRA certified instructor, and teach/coach the youth at a local range where I instruct and am a Range Officer. My little girl went Distinguished Expert in light rifle (.22) just before she turned 10. Good coach....

I've found that shooting and cycling are good family activities, and promote such qualities as mental discipline, personal responsibility, and setting/achieving long term goals.

Woodworking, or as my wife calls it "wooddorking." My gara.... er, shop is full of my table saw, band saw, jointer, planer, drill press, workbench, router table and wood.

Mariner Fan

Major League Baseball. Man I hate when the season's over. Of course now I can concentrate on the hot stove league.

I used to be into woodworking, or, as my ex-wife used to call it, collecting woodworking equipment. I actually don't miss that very much. I do read a lot, and I'm an amateur musician (keyboards) but I haven't played much in a couple of years.

My other passion these days is photography, and right now I'm torn between spending some "found" money (an unexpected client project fell into my lap) on a new lens or two, or spending it on a bike. To be honest, I'm leaning toward the lens. I beg your pardon.

Of course, I could always pay down a bill or two. Sigh. How boring.

Well, we DO have our standards, you know.

I've spent the last three years and all of my vacation participating as a soldier in the re-enactment of the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I enjoy history, woodworking and now that the re-enactment has come to an end I hope to get back into fly fishing.

The Lewis and Clark thing was quite an adventure. I belong to the Discovery Expedition of St. Charles Missouri https://www.lewisandclark.net which is the group that traveled the entire route of the original expedition following the journals in period boats, living in tents, wearing period clothes and educating many many school kids who came to our camps about Lewis and Clark.

Tried to upload a picture of our boats but wasn't successful. Guess I need to spend some spare time learning to post properly.
