Aside From Coins, Do You Have Any Other Hobbies?

...and your other hobby was cleaning up the floor?

If I went into someone's house and a spider ran out of a box, something just might run out of my pants leg...

 

I am very impressed by many of these hobbies. My neighbor was an astronomer when we lived in Indiana; it was pretty cool looking at the rings of Saturn.

My own hobbies include fishing, but I don’t get out as much anymore. We are building a pond out behind the house to change that. I also collect books. I read a great deal of science fiction, fantasy, and mysteries – bookcases are full all over the house. On occasion I like to drink a beer. So I have gotten into making my own, and I have also collected the bottles from store-bought beers I have enjoyed. Several bottles decorate some open shelving in the kitchen; the rest recently got recycled. When we settled in South Carolina, we went to the beach as often as we could -- so obviously we collected shells and shark’s teeth… I tend to specialize in the teeth.

I also happily support my wife’s hobbies. She collects kids and animals. We have our own kids, have been foster parents for over 30 kids, and have also adopted. In addition we have sponsored over a dozen foreign students. We always had pets, but we finally bought a farm so that she could add some horses, goats, mules, donkeys, guinea hens and chickens. Her hobbies are much more exciting than mine.

 

I have a lot of those...

 

I have a few Philip K. Dick's

 

I had no idea he was that prolific!

 

You win the thread, and life.

 

I confess that I am a very lucky fellow. But I was serious about her collecting habits. She just came back from the feed store (we always seem to need more horse or goat food) and couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick up half a dozen keets. LOL

 

2 more Malachite polished pieces. I enjoy seeing the patterns of green on these...




and this 1...




They have a calming effect on me.

 

i'ma fan of P K Dick...i reckon you have "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"?!...

 

I enjoy mountain biking and gold panning.

 

Of course, now I just have to find it...great book, someone should make a movie of it.

 

Great story.

 

..haha!...they did! ...Harrison Ford starred in it...(of course i think you knew that already )

 

Very low fat content = less flavor, IMO.

 

My favorite is the G21. I just enjoy the .45 Round so much better. However, since the 9mm was the original platform for Glock, and the round is fairly low cost, I have the Standard size 9mm, and the Smaller conceal carry. The same with the .45 G21 Standard, and the G30S conceal carry. Regardless, from my product design background, I am very impressed with the simplicity and innovative design that Glock brought to the market in the 80's. Fit/Form/Function. They nailed it, and everyone else copied them.

 

Actually that...kind of...used the idea, but I would still like to see a movie made of the events in the book. I particularly liked the religion angle. Did you see Blade Runner 2049? Somehow I thought that conveyed a lot of Dick's original ideas. There have been so many movies made from his ideas, unfortunately after his death. Interesting that Robert Heinlein, a really conservative guy, was one of Dick's best friends seeing as how he was such a freak.

 

well, he was alive when they started making bladerunner, but died during production, so he got to know that his ideas/stories were being made into commerical usage..he was a great visionary in my book and a lot of episodes of my favorite shows , twilight zone and star trek original series, have to do with his question of artificial intelligence, as of like even now, being considered real and just as good as human..

 

Those are sweet pieces and would go very well with any rock collection, especially mine. Hehehe
