What are your hobbies, passions, that are a big part of your life that we at Sigforum don’t know about. What are yours. Show us!!!!!!!!! Pics mandatory.

Mine is music, particularly guitar. Finally, at a stage in my life where I can fulfill lifelong desires to learn to play. It has been an on-off thing my whole life. Now it’s “the” time.

Exploring the woods and trails with my wife. We spend WAY more time riding than I do shooting.

Pretty sure a lot if you know about this, but my true passion is going off road. Someday I would like a Wrangler Rubicon lifted and on 37’s. Until then, the Tacoma gets me a lot of places.

I have a YouTube Channel if anyone is interested. https://youtube.com/user/beancooker

Music in general and guitars in particular as important activities to me are probably pretty well known. What may not be is Spanish language. I love the language and have worked to improve my fluency in it for a long, long time. It started with living almost 20 years in Arizona and going to college at UofA in Tucson, continued with a couple of years on a horse farm with many Spanish speaking hands. I’ve taken what community college courses were available to me and use Duolingo (nearly two years now) to increase vocabulary. Guitar in the morning, Spanish in the afternoon. Yeah, living in Wyoming increases the degree of difficulty in attaining anything approaching fluency.

Getting out on the water in our canoe.




Working on the property with my tractor.




Riding the UTV around the property.





Riding and traveling on various motorcycles. (LOL of course many of you probably already knew this.)











Camping

I've always combined camping with motorcycle travel, and still do, but lately I've been enjoying traveling some by car and camping with my friend.



No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

I read some. These are some books I’ve read recently and are now waiting to be given away.





I have about 350 titles in my Nook e-reader, all but a few of which I have finished reading. Although I don’t still own all of them, my physical library listing has over 2100 titles. A few of that list are references or others that I haven’t read cover to cover, but I’ve read the vast majority of them.

I also regularly read articles from The Wall Street Journal, the science journals Nature and Nature Astronomy, plus the membership journals of the American Radio Relay League, the National Rifle Association, Mensa, and the Military Officers Association.

I like to collect and warehouse random junk to build store displays. When given a list of materials, some times I am given a budget that pays more for old boots (among other things) than new ones. Even paid someone else to wear them for a few years. Just something to keep my mind busy if nothing else.

At one time I found 200+ factory shop manuals and would read them every now and then. Some like to sit down with a James Patterson book, I like wiring diagrams and technical service bullitens. Then I realized what each manual would sell for. Eek
Bunch of manuals for the Cavalier, F-150, Allante', Tacoma, Firenza, Viper, etc... and some have the parts and illustration manuals to go with them. So now I can learn how to rebuild a Cummins or do a wheel alignment on a Viper. I think it would be easier to rebuild a Cummins.
They come in handy when adding options (raiding the corporate parts bin) to trucks that they weren't equipped with or weren't available when they were made.

Right now I'm cleaning out some woods in the back yard. There was a house that was built in the 1800s and burned in the 1960s. It had a well that is crazy deep. It could hold about three school busses. I've also found some neat stuff back there and have a good way to go before I'm done.

I also have gotten into guitars. I just bought a pedal steel I just started learning. I have started roasting my own coffee. Huge improvement and amazing how many kinds of green coffee beans are available.

Even after making and selling over 11,000 salt and pepper mills over a 12 year period I still enjoy making them. I'm in the shop almost everyday, I enjoy the smell of freshly machined wood and the beauty of the grain. I've often been asked about using a duplicator, my reply is always the same, ' it would take all the fun out of making one'. That still holds true today.

I make guitar pedals and other electronic projects. This one is a Klon circuit for a friend.


I have another on the bench ready for an enclosure that I plan to karma to someone here.


I make YouTube videos about the process: https://www.youtube.com/c/HomespunEffects

The transformers on the bench are for a Marshall 50W that I'm planning to build.

I read & collect (accumulate) books. I'm rather fond of old Encyclopedias.

Also very interested in the history of the Roman Republic and Empire. Particularly Roman military of mid 1st century.
