Was into photography in the 70's and had a dark-room/enlarger and did my own film development and photographs. My how things have changed.

Life is so much better with dogs!
I have a 1939 taylorcraft in parts and pieces waiting as a retirement project.
I work where they build em .... there is actually a good sized following of spotters all around the world
So I figured ...It is shooting!

Work, reload, shoot. In that order, don't have time for much else.
Ham radio! You think shooting is expensive???
New tower we raised yesterday to replace one I lost 2 years ago in an ice storm, by the time I get the antennas on it you are looking at $4k++
Since the boom truck was here and I had salvaged 3 sections of the old tower I put it back up with 2 new antennas for 6 meters and 70cm ham bands, and a new rotor because the old one cracked in half when it hit the ground
Old saying in ham radio, if it stays up the antenna was to small! The new tower will have 4 2 meter ham band antennas to bounce signals off the moon!
Mary, that's some neat stuff

I kayak on the rivers in and around the Ozarks.
I'm kind of peculiar because I shoot but don't hunt and I kayak but don't fish.

Casting, Reloading & Shooting
My wife and I do camping and fishing trips here in the spring. Want to do more traveling in the old motor home that is close to being restored. This was delayed some due to the market crash in 2007, just after I retired. Getting back into financial shape to go more often.
When I am not reloading I am woodworking or metalworking, have a shop for each.

I truly envy you who can enjoy English tobacco in well loved briar. I know no other indulgence (other than the love of a fine women) that can best your past time. I've found only one other that even comes close to the sensory satisfaction, Thai cuisine. I miss this so much I refuse to sell my pipes, preferring to defer the possibility for re-igniting the love at some later date.
I now grow and make wine instead.

I resent it when other people try to inflict their ideas of betterness on me. I don’t think they know. And I can’t see any authority on the horizon that’s got any answers that seem worthwhile. FZ

Woodworking, nothing very elaborate. I'm currently building cabinets and benches in a dedicated handloading room. Then there is airbrushing, its prob the least of the three but it pulls at me. I like anything that requires attention to detail and a lot of user input.
