<p>[QUOTE=&quot;differential, post: 7503892, member: 120104&quot;]Hmmm...my first post! So many great hobbies here--might try some.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m an old guy, recently retired. I have fished all my life, probably tens of thousands of casts. After all these years I caught a &quot;trophy&quot; fish two years ago: a 24 inch, five pound brown trout. If it were a coin it would be MS 68, a beaut. I gave it to a family who needed food and they really appreciated it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bike riding has always been a passion. maybe I collect bikes--I have a race bike, mountain bike, Walmart fat bike, Brompton tiny bike, hybrid bike, and a 1960s 70 pound Schwinn tandem. (Sorry, have to figure out how to post pictures.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to the person who posted his shoe collection. I suspect I am a collector of Allen Edmond shoes, made before 2014. I have three pairs of boots, including cordovan. A couple pair of tan comfort shoes. And a couple pair of &quot;Leeds,&quot; a dress shoe. All of these shoes have been resoled, many times. They are made very well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly, I am discovering that as a retired guy there are days when I start to collect unhappiness! The best therapy for this, I have found, is to work on my modest collection or do reading that helps understand history and numismatics. It&#039;s also amazing how calming roll-collecting (and re-rolling) can be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best to all. I&#039;ve read many great posts here before deciding to join. Thanks for all this great info![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
