Bill on the other hand never got to fully experience his first childhood. So naturally I’m his greatest cheerleader when he “thinks” he’s found a hobby he might like. Model ship building. Playing tennis. I even said yes to building a hot rod! I also said yes to building a café racer. I did say no to the arsenal of weapons though. Anyway, the man and his mini me used to race slot cars. They used to travel many miles to race their cars at different hobby stores. It was a lot of fun for them. They even painted their own car bodies.
It’s good to have a hobby, right? Well, I think he’s been hankerin’ for a hobby that doesn’t involve the house or thousands of dollars (thank heavens!). I’ve noticed that for the last few weeks he’s been looking at a lot of slot car stuff on the computer. Gearing up, so to speak. He finally said last week, “I think I might like to get back into slot car racing…………….is that dumb?” Heck no! I said. I guess he finally made the commitment in his head and I found myself with him, standing in front of all the tracks at Hobby Town USA, last Saturday. Actually, he dove right in! $200 later…he spent the rest of the weekend laying out his track and practicing. Trying to find just the right number of curves and straight-aways. Next up, an 4ft x 8ft sheet of plywood to attach the track to. Plus, he’s trying to decide where to put the track, since I said NO WAY MISTER to sharing my library/craft room with him. Really, the nerve! We have one extra bdrm. though. I told him that when my library/craft room is done and all my stuff is moved in, he can have that room. Now he’s wondering how he can help ME in regards to finishing the library/craft room.
Aaaaaand, I think this means that I have free evenings to look forward too!
Yep, good to have a hobby ;-)
One more quick thing...I see this tree every morning, it's SO weird! I finally got a picture of it this morning;
