What are your other interests?

[hospitaller]

Not sure if we're allowed to post photos in this off-topic section or not?

Just wondering what all are everyone else's other interests in life?

I do/used to do:

WWII 5th Ranger Battalion Reenactment (we were regulars for the BBC and The History Channel)

[hospitaller]

Also some Motocross





And some Photography as well

Wow, Hector, these photos are both beautiful and amazing! I can't get over how authentic the landing one looks to the period.

And it's interesting to see what you look like under those muttonchops!

Thanks for the pic's Hector. They brought back fond memories of my fathers best friend and my youth baseball coach, who was a Ranger 2/B s/sgt on D'Day.

Well, these days, other than kilts, or being completely enveloped with work, I'm an avid bookworm. I read read read. As many know, I'm also a techno-junkie. No, not the music, but electronic gadgets. Actually, that and my reading have even merged into the Amazon Kindle. lol. Anyway, I used to work full time as a tattooist, but that's been some years ago. I do still enjoy tattooing occasionally on friends and family and such...

I sing a bit, folk music I'm afraid, and play my drum for Border Morris dancing, I service and repair knitting machines, and make things on them too, I sew all sorts of stuff, and do patchwork, I like to paint, but never seem to have the time these days.

I used to keep birds, mostly psittacines, but the neighbours did not like the noise of them chirping.

I'm a sucker for chicks though - I am feeding up a 'fell out of the nest' common swift - Apus apus - that is, hopefully a little under two weeks too young to fly. It is costing a lot to buy the crickets and it doesn't like them much, but they are keeping it growing. It is just too sweet. It looks as though it has a tiny little beak, but it opens up into this (comparatively) great maw for swallowing down flies.

Way back, when I lived in the Midlands, in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, I was a camp follower with John Lilburne's Regiment of Musket and Pike - an English Civil War reenactor group, in the Roundhead association. That is probably when I started making costumes rather than fashion clothing.

My trouble has always been that I am interested in far too many things, and have never managed to tidy a pile of books, ever.

This thread could be very interesting and insightful.

My hobbies include collecting beer related items: serving trays, ash trays, signs, etc.





I also enjoy photography. I'm still learning about composition and looking at things from a different perspective. I have lots of fun altering things on the computer. I use MS PictureIt. Here's a couple of my favourites.

Bob (bigdad1) and I are both insatiable readers, especially the Reacher series and Doc Ford. But we re-met through our love of old sports cars, expressed in part by working corners ("flagging") at vintage auto races -- VARA and HSR-West events in So Calif and Vegas -- and our membership in the Long Beach MG Club.
