    I bowl 4 times per week and I've never scored a 300. I've come close, not I'm still striving to hit a perfect game. Congratulations!!!!!!!!

    20191216_170154_resized.jpg 20191216_152740_resized.jpg Here's a cleaner image of my Flying Goddess bronze.
    The base is finished wood w/ bronze inserts.
    It's very heavy for its size. IMO, a quality piece.

    I collected Hotwheels when my two boy were young. Ended up with a thousand or so. They are mostly pack in boxes awaiting an auction. These are just some loose ones.

    I may have a bit of a full plate on hobbies....

    So I restore classic cars, not job just we have them. Below is my 1967 4spd Cougar.

    I also build and paint models. As well as building SFX outfits that have been featured on a few sites and newspapers.

    Suddenly I'm noticing those Hagerstown Bank sheets in multiple places. It's my family home, so they catch my attention. Wonder if a small accumulation of them came on the market, or if I'm just starting to look in places where they've always appeared?

    My banknotes were framed more than twenty years ago.

    I play classical guitar (for my own pleasure, not in performance).

    IMG_4038.jpeg Ride my Trek FX4 bike 10-40 miles every day that it reaches above 50 F. I'm also learning and re-learning new techniques for web development (PHP, CSS, Divi Builder). I guess you could say beer and wine are also a hobby (drinking, not making).

    I have decided to venture into Lego recreations of aircraft.

    Here is my first one: Sikorsky UH-60M Blackhawk

    Genealogy/family history research, which I've been interested in since childhood, and have been actively engaged in for close to 30 years now. Mostly regarding my own family, but I've also helped out quite a few friends over the years. Now that I'm semi-retired, I've also taken on a few paying clients. But I still consider it a hobby. Or pastime, which sounds more genteel, I suppose!
