Thank you for the warm welcome! I would be honored to wear the veteran badge.
I am a man of many hobbies. Far too many if you ask my wife. I enjoy fishing, just about any type of hunting but bear hunting is at the top of the list. I enjoy fragrances, photography and astrophotography. I enjoy smoking pipes and cigars, and the family and I enjoy camping together.
I am sure there are several hobbies I have missed. I was born with ADHD and had hobbies and ADHD explained to me once. They said people with ADHD do not have hobbies, the have temporary extreme passions. I can relate with that for sure. I am pretty bad to pick up hobbies and drop them, but I have been consistently intrigued with wet shaving, cigars, and pipes. I go through phases where I won't do one of them, but I always enjoy marveling at the craftsmanship involved in all three. I really enjoy owning and handling well engineered and well-crafted items. I believe that is what keeps me so involved with those three hobbies.
Thank you again, and I am very fortunate and happy to be here.
