    Besides family, work, and the 10 million "honey/daddy do's", I find time for flyfishing, riding my motorcycle (BMW R1100R), golfing and the Seattle Mariners.

    Sailing
    Sea Kayaking

    Both of these are on hold due to cold weather and the fact that I sold all my boats (9 sea kayaks and a 30' sailboat) to build a shop. Built the shop so I could build wooden boats. I'm half way through a 15' sailboat to use to get to my kayaking grounds. Will start a cedar strip kayak when that's done. I'm a certified sea kayak guide and instructor, with a business guiding sea kayak trips in Greece, so my kayak goals have all been met. Now I'm working toward building a large sailboat to sail the Atlantic and on to Greece.

    Of course, all of this stuff involves woodworking.

    Thanks for the thread.

    Parenting is the big one these days. More of a calling than a hobby really
    Cooking: hope to get more of this in when the kitchen's finished
    Skiing, which I haven't managed to do these last 2 seasons; determined to get out there at least once this winter.
    Bicycling: been trying to ride to work twice a week; going to start dragging the small one around in the trailer come spring.

    Also want to get back into homebrewing.

    Well, you shouldn't be. Nobody has any respect for the classics anymore . . .

    I've just given up...

    I've just given up all my hobbies. Now I just want to be Moose!

    With seven kids, 12 grandkids and one greatgrandkid, ya'd think I'd have this Moose thing out of my system by now!
