Your Other Hobbies

[JohnnyGT]

Apparently, the scale says my other hobby is eating. I love to cook, when I have time. Home made bbq sauce and rubs, marinara sauce, lasagna, ravioli, real chicken soup (personal favorite this time of year). Snack / finger foods. Biscuits and gravey.

Looking up, I don't see any salads on my list. Hmm.... I wonder if that has anything to do with what the stupid f@&!ng scale had to say.

LOL

Same here. Love my chicken soup from scratch, everyone else that gets some does too. Started smoking things a few years ago. Took some time, but my pork ribs are getting really good. Briskets, pastrami have also come a long way.

Aside from the Thai Curries I could eat everyday, the best thing I'm making right now is enchiladas. Pre made sauce can be okish, but once I started making the sauce from scratch...the COVID-50 hit.

Hatch chilies fresh or dried. Dried seem to be the better sauce base. I've got a ristra hanging up in the kitchen right now; need to turn that whole thing into the best sauce there is soon.

Then there's a few more hobbies as well.

I can't wait to see how these new AMD cards preform. Wasn't happy with my Radeon VII, not that happy with the 2080s either. Running an ultra wide 1440p monitor and have some ridiculous FPS drops in CoD.

You reloading? That's something I want to get setup sooner than later.. I have a lot of brass that's ready and waiting.

My dad won some awards for his wine. I tried making hard cider a few times...disaster. lol

My 5700xt does better in games than the Radeon VII with half the CU's power. GCN was just not great for gaming. They do clean house in mining and other pure compute workloads.

Not reloading yet, I don't have room in the apartment for all the gear I'd need. Those are just some very nice 9mm +p+ from Federal.

I make mead. Honestly had more disasters than successes, but that's how you learn the craft.

Yeah, I need to flip that RVII sooner than later. It's just siting pretty on my shelf for Zoom meetings. Seems like the value in resale is still there thankfully.

I want to at lest get a simple setup for my S&W 686 6". Buffalo Bore's stuff is so expensive. Should be a fairly safe starting point to reloading. Next I'll move up to the rifle calibers. Really hoping I can still buy cheap 45, 9mm, 5.56, .308 and x39 in the future.

So cool. Not my thing right now, but I can definitely see the appeal. Love it!

I used to be a painter. I put the brushes down for ten years. I don't know why, guess I just lost it you know. Well I started again. Here's one I did for Halloween. I ended up rushing to get it done so there's things I would have liked to do differently. Other than painting, I homebrew beer and wine.

I've got an R9 Fury kicking around that might just turn into a display piece. I got it at launch, and it's such a monstrous card. It punched above weight class for a long time with zero issues.

I haven't been shooting at all during the pandemic, so my ammo consumption has been zero. Mostly because the wife keeps me from solving every problem with a 12ga

Nice! I'll admit I'm an AMD fanboy. Last build around 2012 was an FX processor with dual 7070s.

Same for me with the range time. Last time I was out I took my BiL for his first time. The Skys opened up within 10min and I ended up testing out the Expedition's off road capabilities on the way off the mountain.

Good for you man! /Woman! My art skills ended in 10th grade. That's really great looking rush piece after a 10yr hiatus.

RC Helicopters are my main other thing. Well there's Hookers and Blow but I can't post pics of that without getting banned

I work in IT. It was a hobby until it became a career. Still keeping the hobby going though.

Plex and a PiHole.

I spy a Cloud key and Mac mini.

I'm an avid cyclist (one of many things)

Those are dope as hell. Speaking of metal work, I made my wife's engagement ring (and both our bands).

How are some of you so dang talented?
