So let’s see your interests. Share as many pics as you’d like doing things outside the gym.

Cooking, shooting, and making music? You’ve got some of my favorite hobbies! I still haven’t had any outdoor range time, but am planning on it this summer. Do you compete?

Cooking, shooting, and making music? You’ve got some of my favorite hobbies! I still haven’t had any outdoor range time, but am planning on it this summer. Do you compete?

I competed in a few USPSA and IPSC competitions when I still lived in Hawaii, but I haven’t really done any shooting since I left there in 2018 because of living and coaching in China, then Covid, and then living and coaching in New York.
However, just a couple of weeks ago I finally got all my belongings that were in storage, my shooting gear among them, so I plan to compete in a few local matches in the next month. I also want to do a few 3 Gun and Tactical Games competitions.
I now have an excuse to buy that Canik Rival I’ve had my eye on.

An attempt at some videography using my 360 camera.

I am terrible but want to get the hang of it before i go to Alaska at the end of August.

GoPro 360 Trial 2

360 Camera Trial 1

The 360 camera idea is neat. Basically take a spherical video and pick anything in that 360 to focus on in the video.

I know nothing about this stuff, but saw this in the woods and reminded me of your post. Don’t worry, I didn’t eat any.

Those ones just arent very good. Very woody/tough. A couple days earlier they would be a vibrant orange/yellow.

These are in the same family but much better-

Sweet floral scent with the consistency of chicken. Awesome in stir fry and tomato sauces.

I’d be back to that tree in a month or so to look for sheeps heads too.

Having trouble sleeping, so I’ll chime in. I like to write poetry. It’s amature, but I enjoy it.

This was tonight’s writing.

You are not wrong.
You are not broken.
You are perfect, with the lines of black burned into granite eyes,
And gold rivers you dreamed that fill your cracked veins to shine your weaknesses and become your strongest armor.

I am your storm,
I will be your rage,
I will be your calm,
I will be your tears,
I will be your comfort that spreads across that face when your eyes are laughing, and your mouth is silent.

I will be your punching bag, with red leather and callused knuckles,
I will be your cheerleader, bodyguard, and confidant,
I will be your beckoning invitation to explore everything bright to inspire us, and the hot dark where we have to say,

“Stop. I need to catch my breath.”

Then take an ultraviolet brush to paint us into each other.

Swirl.
By.
Swirl.

Chills. Wow!

I also want to do a few 3 Gun

An excellent hobby.

Glad people enjoyed it. I’ll throw out some more when I’m having late nights, since somebody decided not to sell Z-12 anymore.

My first father would come home with camouflage and field makeup, dripping violence and deception like a tree oozing sap from a cut.

My second father wore black robes and echoed piano tones. We played chess and spoke the lies about how another father would save us.

My third father asked me to call him grandpa so his girlfriend wouldn’t know about his wife, and sex education was a stash of videos and photo binders I shouldn’t have seen.

My fourth father bought a car for his real son. I lost a brother in an afternoon.

My fifth father sunk so low into his darkness that red and blue lights weren’t enough. The sheriff came and spoke. It was the worst they had ever seen.

My sixth father read me the stories I love, but always wanted to drown things. Ideas, kindness, and the horizon - the dark water to dive in and tear out.

My seventh father made my mother happy. I didn’t. Christmases with thrown gifts, I was strong enough to make him feel weak.

My first father loves his grandchildren.
He’s lying. He’s going to die soon.

hahaha I know the feeling. My brain seems to think 2-3 am is a great time to be up and active.

Maybe we need to start a thread just for insomniacs and fill it with uncommon solutions or just things to do while you’re not sleeping.

[Brant_Drake]

I like that idea.

[fitafter40]

I am up at 2:30 every morning…M/W/F in the gym at 4:30, its a great way to start the day

Please keep us posted on this! Have someone film you so we can see you compete.

I did my first competition last week and performed terribly. But it was a fantastic learning experience.

I like that idea.

Done!

I’ve gotten interest in photography lately (no idea what I’m doing)

and still drawing when I can.
