things i like to do besides watch cfb:

  • woodworking
  • hiking/camping
  • gaming
  • mrs. rtf
  • designing and 3d printing

see woodworking thread for recent and upcoming projects.

family loves to go hiking and they love the idea of camping, but i seem to be the only one that's actually enjoying it when we do it. but every year starting... about now, actually, we start scouting new hiking trails. mostly looking for ones with a nice 'destination', like a waterfall or some such at the end. there are some beautiful hidden gems around west alabama.

i've always been a gamer. all the back to atari. had almost every system out there, but still haven't jumped to the latest gen consoles. mrs rtf threatened our boys that if they didn't behave they'd get a switch for xmas, so that's what we did. except it's a nintendo switch. which is ridiculously fun. this summer thinking i might move on up to next gen and/or a nice pc. leaning pc. partially because...

i got a 3d printer recently. it kinda goes hand in hand with the pc i mentioned. i've always wanted to fly, be a pilot. and i'm a middle aged-ish male, so i love ww1 and 2. and there are some really awesome sims for flight and combat, but needs a nice pc. and then i went down rabbit hole and found a company that has designs for 3d printed flight sticks, throttle controls, etc. give is a real sim feel. so, i jumped in a bought a 3d printer. and have been goofing around with it since xmas or so, even designing a few things myself (custom tool holders and what-not). i've found myself enjoying that part as much or more than the printing. just last night i modified a craft... thing, not sure what to call it, for my daughter that likes to make bracelets and necklaces and such. gonna get it on printer tonight, i think. if she approves. but she's gonna love it.

I don't save sketches.  They're nothing, throwaway things to me, because they're quick and easy.  Other people sometimes want to keep them, but they're a dime a dozen to me.

Anything you'd like.  I'll take a picture of it, and won't take more than 2 min on it.
how about school mascots or logos? start with playoff participants. or b1g and/or sec.

would be fun for us to have a collection of those to use around here. with your permission, of course.

maybe caricatures of some too, for funs.

Lots of kids on the last Celebrity we did. Not using them again.
Just did Celebrity for the first time, a couple of weeks ago.  Almost no Kids.  I think kid infestation has more to do with the timing of your cruise than the cruise line (other than Disney and Carnival).

Almost said "one of my stepsons has the same hobbies" but then I thought, wait a minute....

Yeah, ours was probably bad timing. It was around spring break. Still, I like the smaller ships, awesome food and free drinks that Azamara provides. Great entertainment too.

Man I find flying east (to Europe for example) to be much worse than flying west as far as jetlag and general crappiness go.

We've done a couple of Carnival cruises with the kids, and had a really good time.

I'd absolutely love to do one of those nicer European cruises like @847badgerfan does.  Maybe someday when I grow up to be as cool as he is. :)

Draw a picture of OrangeAfroMan.

Definitely a lil rusty.  I'm surprised I could find a pencil.  This is sort of a doodle/sketch.  Quick, frantic sketching, then a once-over with darker overlay.  
If I cleaned it up and spent 20 more minutes on it, that would include the shading and it would be a proper pencil drawing.
I took a lil more time than I thought I would, but that's not important.
Orange afro wig with orange-dyed beard.  Blue face paint U-F on my cheeks.

Did you really dye your beard orange?  That's awesome!

Kind of.
I had an old orange nose-coat sunscreen thing.  It was in one of those circular makeup snap-case things.  I'd apply it to my beard and it looked just like I dyed it.
.
One of the big-screen "Gatorvision" sideline cameras was right in front of us, and we had front-row season tickets.  So I was on the jumbotron all the time.  That's where OAM comes from - they named me that, with my own graphic on the screen.

I love to fish, and me and my sons spend a lot of time and money pursuing this. I’m expanding my water well business, going to start drilling wells soon.

Used to be:

* Basketball (pretty good)
* Beisbol (meh, I wasn't picked last but not first either)
* Drums (made a great secondary income for years)
* Bass (meh, nobody was going to pay me, but were usually happy to have me free)
* Piano (terrible, but hey, nobody says you gotta be good at a hobby)

Can't really do any of those anymore, unfortunately, due to physical drawbacks.  Always have loved reading, particularly sci-fi/fantasy but in recent years I've trended way more into non-fiction.  I teach an apologetics class at my church that I enjoy doing.  Built a book-case with my dad for my now-wife a couple years ago that I enjoyed working on, and thought I might like to get into woodworking, but I don't think my true interest matches the expense of a hobby like that.  But maybe when I'm done with school I might try a few more things. 

ETA:  I also like to annoy rtf4 and utee, which is a lot of time and hard work, but it's worth it.
