That's a full, good life! Good for you.

The writing thing is very impressive, and even breaking even at doing something you love is more than worth it in my book. Being published. Just awesome!

My day was busy, and I missed this in the morning.  Yes, it has been a full life.  I'm 63 and I have a major health crisis every thirty years or so.  I figure, since this last one is pretty much in the books, I'm good up to 100, maybe.

But after reading your list of 'things,' I thought, "Dang, if this gal owned half interest in a liquor store, I might have to look her up!"  Keep living the good life, because this is not a rehearsal.

I collect WWII aircraft prints.  I now have nine of them from the living-room  to the bedroom.  Hey...I couldn't do that stuff when I was married!

I collect antique table radios from the 1930s thru the 1950s.  Yes..they all work.  MY Grandson asked if he could hear one play......so he picked the 1938 Zenith.  He turned it on and immediately said it was broke.  I informed him if he would wait a minute or two it would play.  He wasn't familiar with vacuum tubes from back in the day.  ;)

History.......of any kind. from my families history (while investigating I found out my Great Grandfather and his brother, my Great uncle were in the Ohio 6th Army during the Civil War and both were in the Oho 6th Cavalry which was at the Battle of Gettysburg. The 56th FG also.........I am a voracious reader on aircraft from WWII. I own many books on the subject. I also have many model aircraft from the era everywhere but in the bathroom  :D

I've been a gearhead since the mid sixties and have owned several muscle cars since (drove my wife nuts...I had to get rid of a few because the used to much gas.....women eh?)
I still own a muscle car but it is of the recent vintage only driven during the summer......a Dodge Challenger Hellcat.  Yep......I may be 72 but I still like my toys  :aok

Did you read the part where I said I am married to the same woman for 40 years???? There are certain prices to pay for that and building RC into my models isnt one of them...... yet   :devil

One of my cousins married a man and then insisted that he sell his Ferrari.  The rest of us wanted to have her burned at the stake as a witch.  Her first husband drove a Porshe 914, and she made him get rid of that.  They divorced the next year.  C.O Jones versus no C.O. Jones.

Been a lotta places, done a few things, have a few t-shirts gathered along the way. Hiya Hajo :) You and I are 'middle-aged' looks like :) A lot of similar interests. I'll be 72 in May :)

Gearhead.. ohh yaa. Still have my NHRA license :) Sadly, muscle cars are gone. I finally let Kathy pick out our last car and she tackled it like a project doin all the research, surprised me .. and ended up getting us a Honda CRV. -embarrassed look- I ..umm .. kinda like it :) (ducks)
I do miss drivin the Hemi R/T Challenger (Hellcat sounds like it would be FUN) ..and I miss the Corvettes. Go-carts on steroids.

Very sucked into Cities:Skylines atm. Puzzle-solving city builder. Kind of my primary 'thing' these days. Kathy got me a laptop that just buried my old beast of a desktop in every aspect. I am hammered dog poop after having a lung removed, kinda slowed me down, so I have the laptop on a pillow on my chest most days an just rock on. Lookin forward  to Forza 8, should be interesting makin scrap metal out of some of those cars :)

Enjoy the day :)

My favorite of all the hobbies I have is beer brewing. Nothing like sitting back with a brew made  with my own 2 hands and time. Not to mention the uniqueness of the flavors that larger brewers will never try.

Others include: woodworking, fishing, keeping fish (this is more of an addiction with 6 tanks), just started rc planes, camping, pretty much love tinkering with anything i can get my hands on.

Shooting, mostly steel plates.
Reloading, because you'll shoot more, and it's fun to develop a load for a specific rifle.
3d printing, I just started playing around with it. Surprisingly, it fits well with reloading.

Hiyas GE!  Great to see you again!  I do hope all is well with you and yours.  We may age, and think that when we wake up in the morning we are still 19.  Then...we have to get out of bed  :rofl

Keep well old friend from AW.

Aside from work and being a part-time dad (divorced), reenacting and hiking/climbing.





Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
