What are your hobbies?

[mar6o]

Soccer and disc golf for sports. Also interested in music- both producing and bedroom-DJing.

What I really miss is travelling. I used to take my cars on roadtrips to Europe- most I did was 7000km (4350miles) in 10 days. Lately I've been flying out and renting cars on the spot and then exploring the country for a week or so. Needless to say, this summer's been different in that respect, but I'll try to make it to neighboring Latvia or Lithuania over my vacation.

I’m looking at buying my first SUP inflatable paddle board. I really want one instead of a kayak. I’d like to get out there at a place I go fishing at in Mayport. It’s saltwater but the pond I fish out of is freshwater. But there’s a kayak launch I want to put in at. Maybe try and do some fishing on the paddle board and land me a nice big Red! I do a lot of fishing during the summer months and when it gets to the colder months, I’m out in the woods hunting deer with the boyfriend. I have a .243 my boyfriend built me for a Christmas present and I killed 2 deer last year. Hoping to get a bigger buck this year. August 15th is when deer season starts in SC in the region his dad lives in but we wait til about the end of October to December to go hunting. It’s to damn hot in August! Lol

Squirrel season in GA starts August 15th as well and is pretty much all my daughter and I have done thus far although the idea of getting a bigger animal to eat has intrigued her. It's a little warm but if we catch some good days... I'll have my daughter out. It's been a few years since I've done anything in FL but I feel like gun season was early/mid November. I got my daughter a little Savage Rascal and added a red dot a couple months ago since she was having issues with the rear peep. Last year she tagged along but this may be her year to start taking a crack at some if she has the desire to. I hunted a bit as a kid but as an adult I mostly just tagged along with one of my uncles who's since passed... but was big into hunting so he could get out of the house since he needed a 'hunting buddy' by then. Pretty much involved me carrying to a spot and sitting with him, but it was time well spent. We do a little pond fishing and there's a decent lake on base you can rent boats on... though the ITT/Outdoor rentals stuff has been depressingly closed for months, so we've just been doing fishing from docks/the side of local ponds.

The paddle board thing sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you have better balance than I do, though. I'd be doing more swimming than fishing off of one. ?

I used to dove hunt in SC with my dad. His mom and dad lived in Hollywood, SC. I’ve only went hunting once with him out in the fields by my grandparents house. There was a hunt club there. My boyfriend got me into hunting with him last year. We just started dating by then but we really knew each other for over 10 years or so. I know he told me his ex wife did a little fishing but didn’t care much for hunting. She wouldn’t go with him anytime he went out to one of the many stands his dad has. His dad has 300 acres in SC.

I killed two deer up there but they were small deer. Still able to eat them. The first one I killed, I was shown how to clean it and of course had to make it a tradition to smear blood on your face lol yeah I know it’s gross but that’s what ya do when you get your first deer. It’s a right of passage. Genesis 27:3.

Getting out of the house and going fishing is better than sitting in front of the tv. Especially if you’re someone who loves being outdoors. I try to get out to the pond we normally fish at and have luck with. And yep, since everything is still closed on base, can’t really do much as far as renting boats and stuff. Hell, there’s a place in St. Augustine we went two weeks ago to do airboat tour and they offer kayak rentals but I’m not sure what their prices run. I would probably do more fishing than paddling anyways ????

Spektrum DX5C but you have to buy a receiver for each car it took a little while to get all cars on the radio (budget depending ) but it’s worth it

Dove hunting was a ton of fun... I got to tag along w/family who's had planted fields. It's probably been 20 years since I last went. The first time I went I was 7 or 8 and got to play the role of bird dog... I was a bit small for even a .410 but eventually I got to shoot some and after a first outing where I hit nothing... I caught on. I always thought the pacing of dove hunting was some of the best... and was some of the more... 'social' as you'd be able to shout a good-natured jab at the misses you'd see someone down the field make.

Maybe I'll do it again one of these days... we shall see. I'm trying to make sure if the kids show interest in anything that I try to let them give it a try while they're young and haven't necessarily closed their mind off to things as folks sometimes do as they get older. I'm kind of a mind I'd buy a steak from the grocery store rather than try to knock one down in the woods... but I do see it as an essential skill if you couldn't go to the store to get those essentials for some reason... and it's a very social activity at it's core in a time where people are becoming more plugged in and unintentionally anti-social. I certainly don't have a problem w/folks not wanting to hunt but I do think it's become something that's gotten hard to get into if you weren't born into a hunting family and want to try... and that's a shame. Up until this past century... it was a way of life for many if not most of Americans. I see our eldest generation of hunters passing away who used to take kids out to give it a try... and the 'middle generation' is kind of letting it fall by the wayside for todays youth in the bustle of life and all the technological crutches.

Yeah. I do like some VR titles. I do some boxing and shooters. You won't catch me playing a fishing game though. No reason to close yourself off from the real world to do something you can do better in real life... and do it with friends.

My boyfriend has been hunting since he was a little kid. And him taking me to the woods with him, is like icing on the cake. He sent me a text while we were sitting in the stand (this was last year in Nov./Dec.)and he was telling me thank you for allowing him to share his passion with someone who he cares about and approaches it with an open mind. I’m hoping this year I can shoot down a nice 6 point buck. I’m ready for it!

I like hiking and taking macro photos, sometimes both at the same time:

And things like these. I think it's called experimental photography.

I'm also into 3D printing, but only on a somewhat basic level... and combine it with macrophotography:

And I like modeling (no CAD, just Blender) for my prints:

Play in a metal band

Mostly Metallica, some other thrash and harder stuff too.

What ‘stuff’ are you playing in the metal band?
