Member hobbies

[Dan]

I drink …started making cocktails several years back. Enjoy them nightly. 
 

I do other things when I can like house projects.. currently building a built in dresser.. and yard work… but I’m not sure that’s really a hobby as much as just what you do.  
 

I’d like to travel more for fun and less for work.  One day.

Hiking with dogs

Random factoid, perhaps you did not know.

 

It is quite common in baseball a right handed player who bats left handed.  But it is ultra rare, in fact only 1 player in MLB has been left handed and bats right handed.

Pete, I’m left handed (short bus as there are only 10% of us in the world) and have always batted, swung a hockey stick, and swung a golf club right.  Swinging left is unnatural for me.

 

Being taught by the nuns in the 70’s in elementary school, they used to make me cut papers, etc. after school with my right hand as they said I had a weakness in my right hand.  Seems pretty antiquated now, but I didn’t know any better from the St. Joseph’s nuns at OMGC.  Not sure if you know it, but now a closed down Catholic elementary school located in Blasdell.I I grew up on the border of Hamburg, but went to a Blasdell Catholic school.

Of the more embarrassing hobbies, I make TikToks. Mostly comedy about parenting and marriage. Some Bills content there too. 

Well now you have to share your TikTok handle… 😉 lol

That homemade Tele is gorgeous and you absolutely NAILED that solo!

Thanks, man. There are actually a few mistakes, but close enough!

 

the tele is a mahogany body and roasted maple neck. Sounds great! Finished w/ tru-oil with gold flake embedded. About 25 thin coats.

I'm left-handed but I play golf right-handed as well.

 

When I was a kid, and just starting playing golf, I was told that it is actually an advantage for a lefty to play right-handed because your strong arm would be your leading arm in the swing.

 

In fact, Phil Mickelson is actually right-handed, but plays left-handed for the same reason.

Used to make computer games until work and life got too busy. Hoping to get back to that when I retire soon.

 

Also used to be heavily into racquetball until a few years ago, when my hip could no longer stand it.

 

Also love cooking and photography, especially wildlife and landscapes.

 

Cool thread!

Can vouch for this. My wife due to her cancer surgery, had her right pectoral muscle flipped into her neck. She swings a club right handed, so her left side is her leading side. She can hit a ball about 150 yards.

I’m a cornhole dynamo. Both with the wife and on the boards.

You are an outlier.  George Bush played baseball at Yale, and he threw lefty and batted rightie.  At least on the professional level its supremely rare.  From what I gather the dominant eye is more important than L/R, and is the eye facing pitcher.  Most people are Left Eye dominant.  

 

Im right handed, I shoot Lefty with Hockey Stick, Bat and Golf Rightie

I have been getting into Gundam model kits. Very zen to take my time cutting out the parts, sanding, assembling, painting, and building. 

 

I am also a long time collector of 1/6 scale figures (mostly Star Wars and scifi).

[XXXtraAnchovies]

my hobbies are fast cars and fast women. that's why the guys in my car club call me the cruiser

[BillsBruce]

Bass guitar, plastic modeling and cats.  My nerd game is strong.

Did you see my TNG reference in the Training Camp 7/29 thread? "There are FOUR lights!" I'm always quoting TNG to blank faces, sigh. 

I missed that but well done sir!
