In the 80's I went to JR Olympics in Ping Pong. Truth is, there were three of us and they took us three. I was the third by default. When I got there, everyone was beating me; bad. Then I got this kid half my age. He could barely look over the edge of the table. I thought "Finally, someone I can beat!" I served and he jumped in the air like a kamikaze smacking the ball like Serena Williams! I thought, "$%%^& !!! I can't even beat this little runt!"

It's funny and sad at the same time!

👍. Me too




I also like firearms but not sure its ok to post those pictures. If you look hard enough you can see my steel targets and a paper stand

Love to build and run HO trains and love to collect skateboards

I build furniture once in a while. I used to collect antique woodworking tools, particularly planes. I still use them but haven't added to the herd lately. I ride motorcycles and have a couple of ancient ones that I work on more than I ride.

We got into honeybees a few years ago.
We bought a house in the country on 18 acres with a pond and woods, and a friend of mine that is a beekeeper asked if he could place a hive here.
Well……one thing led to another, and 10 hives later we are beekeeping and selling honey. We don’t make a fortune on it. In fact, we put most of the profits into MORE equipment and more hives. I guess we make a few bucks each year, but it’s not going to replace our 401k’s.
So……it a hobby that pays for itself. We found out our garden is much stronger with the bees here also.

Problem solving is my hobby

I have a lot of interests to fill my days. I ride motorcycles, collect and play guitars, regular visits to my local rifle/pistol range, collect and listen to vinyl records and cassettes and I have a huge skateboard collection. My obsessions are a historical snapshot of my life.

I love retirement.
