I've run 3, all slower than a three-legged possum with asthma, but I'm hoping to win my age group someday. My family tends to be long-lived so I'm hoping to outlive the competition and be the only finisher in my age group. My first one was Buffalo marathon 1999 and trying to lineup up for Buffalo to be 100 in 2026 1 2 2 Quote
Sierra Foothills Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I'm happily married and blessed to have a life better than I deserve... other than kids not being in the cards. I meet that disappointment by trying to be a good son to Mom (I miss Dad every day), a good uncle, sibling, stepdad, etc. My current and hopefully last job allows me to mentor many construction Apprentices so all of that softens the blow of not having any of my own. Outside of work and hopefully into retirement I'll continue transforming our hillside property into our version of paradise. That includes agricultural as well as water and land management projects. Like the OP I enjoy woodworking but lean towards natural/greenwood methods using tools like a froe, timber slick, drawknife, spokeshave, and assorted axes, adzes, wood chisels and augers. I need to make a shave horse pretty soon. Being in construction I love building things big and small and have a tool fetish, most recently Buffalo-made antique tools. At some point I started to take my own life seriously and stopped living vicariously through sports fandom and now only follow the Bills and the NFL. 3 6 Quote
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 — Listening to Bills pods and stalking TBD; —Running…have done 5 marathons and getting ready to do my first baby ultra (32 miles) in November, all at snails paces; —History, specifically WW2; —Star Trek/Star Wars. Oh, but my 3 kids basically keep me away from most of the above since I run a frenetic carpool service in most of my spare time! 😝 2 Quote

Chugga Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I’m a collector in my free time. My two biggest collections are Bills action figures from 1988 up to today. My more time consuming hobby is collecting game used Bills jerseys and even though I hate social media, I catalog all of them on an instagram I made (you can see the jerseys at @chugga3478) 3 Quote

The Wiz Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) 2 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Now that I can calm down about Spencer Brown's back, maybe we can take a break from training camp news and share a little about ourselves My hobby is fine woodworking. I grew up watching Norm on the New Yankee Workshop and just as he did over time I've gotten to be a solidly above average woodworker. I moslty make pieces of furniture and the occasional small box. I have also done some turning on the lathe as well. My favorite woodworker is Garrett Hack but I've found inspiration in many others. What is your favorite hobby? 2 hours ago, saundena said: Buffalo Bills Vinyl records / audiophile HiFi Warhammer Magic the gathering Board games Travel Outdoors Movies Someday I want to build an HO layout Big nerd here The weird part is I could probably hang out with both of you and have a great time. Son of a carpenter and had uncles that are an electrician and plumber so I can do pretty much any average household project. However, It was never really my interest and was always into computers so gaming and programming(part of my job) is a pretty much everyday thing for me. I started doing CNC and laser engravings with a small 3018 pro table top machine and bought an expansion kit for a 3036 pro for bigger projects but barely have the time during the summer with soccer and softball for my kids. Really want to get back into it but haven't had the right motivation in a bit. And fishing is always my go too for even 30 minutes of quit time. Edited August 1 by The Wiz 3 1 Quote
