hobby

So the other day I was out back talking on the phone when something white caught my eye. I tried to get some good photos of it since I have never seen anything in my life like it. Long story short, it's a leucistic house sparrow, an ultra rare condition. I uploaded it to a bird watching...

Man those are some amazing colors of wood. Prices are insane as well.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I inherited chickens here about 2 weeks ago from my sister. She had to move and I ended up with the 5 chickens, a chicken coop, and a chicken run.I grew up with chickens, but it has been a long time since I have been around them. They are much happier here since...

Anyone else into hurting for old uranium glass? It all kind of started with me walking by an antique store's window to see a vase that looked like it was made of uranium glass. I knew what it was, but then I picked myself up a 365nm flashlight, and one even when I was downtown, I walked by and...

Well, I have been running my NZXT case, fans, and water cooling for a while. I ordered a new Corsair case, and went back to all Corsair fans, water cooling, and components. I really just enjoy Corsair stuff so much more. Thier quality of their cases are top notch! 

I think I am going to purchase the Epson Perfection v600 scanner. I have a lot of slides that my parents took of us growing up (apparently slides were the thing back in the day). But I want to start to get them scanned in before something happens to them and we lose them forever. It has some...

My son is into remote controlled cars and he wants a new one for Christmas. Anybody know what the good brands are these days? When I was a kid, I had a Tyco Turbo Hopper and that thing was awesome. He's only 4 so we don't have to get too carried away.

I always had fun flying kites when I was a kid. I have a couple of cheap models for the kids, but recently bought a nice delta kite for myself. They are cheap these days. It's nice a fast to setup/put away, and has simple controls. You do see quite a few on along the coastal areas. There is just...

Growing up I always wanted to get into metal detecting. A friend of mine is in it and I watched a Youtube video that he made about it last night. Does anyone own one or been around it at all?

I thought I would make a post of a little hobby that I have been doing for the past couple of weeks. I got my old rock tumbler from my parents that I had growing up. I thought it would be a fun project for my Daughter. I ordered some new grit packets off of Amazon. I spent a few weeks collecting...

So I built my parents a computer (i7, 16gig ddr3, Corsair 650watt modular power supply, Corsair case, Coolermaster heatsink). I pulled a few of my parts out and decided to build a new one. Parts ordered: Motherboard Z170 Chipset...

Anyone do a lot of solder work?  I've generally not been the greatest at this, but one sister-in-law had brought a number of poorly treated electronic devices that needed some work.  I've soldered a 3.5mm jack onto something that was torn off before, so she had hoped I could fix them.  They've...

Has anyone ever gone gold panning before? I had some Amazon credit and since I live in the heartland for this I thought why not? I picked up some 14" pans and two snuffers to be able to though in the back of the car in case were out by a stream or something. Hey you never know...

I have been losing weight again and have no plans for the future. I was 223 pounds in April. I started my diet on April 17th and am down to 185 today, which means I have lost 38 pounds as of today, July 19th. That's ~40 pounds in almost exactly 3 months. I'm not here to brag, just setting a...

I saw that Corsair has a new line of mechanical keyboard out. I got to feel them hands on and see the K70. I have to admit they are very,very nice. Has Cherry reds and love all the color settings. More

I have seen these all over the web but never really paid attention. I was talking to a co-worker and noticed he had one. He had the pebble and it was really call. Alerts and buzzes his wrist when someone calls and displays the weather etc. It's has e-ink so works great outside and in all light...

Looks like something from @ryanator fantasy.

Well as seen in the recent purchase, we picked up a number of items last night to start work on the flower garden that surrounds the outside of our townhome.  One of these days when rain isn't in the forcast I need to get out and spray round up on everything.  There is a lot of crab grass in...

Got any projects planned for your dwelling?

Does anyone collect things or use to collect things? I use to collect comic books when i was younger, and rocks. I guess music nowadays. Oh and computers lol.
