High octane Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 My main hobby is woodworking, then fishing, followed by listening to good rock and roll. Unfortunately I am finding I can't do the first two too much anymore, thus my re-emergence into modeling. Yrs of beating the hell out of my lungs is taking its' toll. Can't do the things I loved doing. advice to others: if you don't smoke, don't ever start. If you do smoke, quit now! Don't wait til you can't breathe anymore. John That's great advice John and I'm REALLY glad that I had quit 28 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madisonwoodsmith Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That's great advice John and I'm REALLY glad that I had quit 28 years ago. Good deal, Nick. I also quit from 1982 to 1999, then went back to my "crutch" when I was going through my 1st divorce and the passing of my Dad right in the middle of it all.

MikeyB08 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Kevin... This is what you use to tie flies. It's a Fly Tying Vise. Holds the hook in place via small vice so you can wrap the hook with rabbit hair and such to create your flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your Mom. I had to get a double bypass done and it is not the most fun thing to deal with, but I'm glad to hear you have made it almost a year.

That is the fun part. People who have hobbies are smart, creative and interesting folks. They have to understand things around them, and dig into learning deep into subjects just out of their natural curiosity. They spend time studying, learning and creating things. That's why we stand apart from the herd that is satisfied with a life of watching TV. Edited April 26, 2013 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
