Like a few others I enjoy archery and bowhunting.  I also like to ride my road bike, fish a little, spend time with my kids.  This spring I went to a buddys house to check out his maple syrup operation.  I thought that was pretty neat.  I plan on trying to build a sap boiling stove, and doing it myself next spring.

Music:  Still play guitar and sing in a hippie 60s show band.  Gig season starts next week and runs through October.  We'll probably do 15-16 shows this year.  Money from gigs subsidizes next hobby:

Photography:  Started shooting HS sports about 6 years ago and have branched into other areas of interest.  Current gear includes a Canon 5D2 body and several nice lenses.  Shot HS senior pics, love festival type shooting and like to shoot 'small town America' while visiting other towns.

MLB:  Love baseball and going to games.

Hey, I already started this topic.

I'll add to my list. I just got a couple lever action rifles and plan to start hunting. My wife has always been kind of anti-hunting, but she is even more anti big cattle/meat industry (how animals are treated and slaughtered, hormones, antibiotics, etc), so she is now receptive to my getting some natural food. Doesn't get more organic than that!

I know this feeling. My dad was a huge hunter. We never had to buy meat when we went to the grocery store. Downstairs chest freezer was always stuffed with duck, geese, venison, wild turkey, and fresh fish. He passed away a few years ago though, and now I've been considering getting back into hunting to get my hands on the good stuff again.

My apologies for not catching that!

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
