I would love to do more white water canoeing, but that seems close to impossible these days. However, I enjoyed the little bit of that activity I got to do.
I would hope to get back into cycling, perhaps in the springtime if all goes well. One of our nearby state parks has a nice area for riding. I'd hitch the bike up to the back of the truck and spend a few hours at the park. The nice thing about the park is the smooth roads and no traffic to deal with, along with seeing the deer and other critters. Cycling should be a good way
next but it sure is fun thinking up new things to do.sag111 (imported) wrote: Tue Sep 18, 2007 5:18 pm for me to get back into shape and fairly easy to do.
I also have a train layout but I havent had time to work on it for about a year now.It is an out door layout in G guage that has about 300 foot of track but I will redue this layout this spring.I have also had some fun latly polshing rocks I find in my sluce box along with some gold if I get a luckey spot.I have a metal dector that I have found some nice rings and about a thousand dollars in coins but again I havent had time to get this out latly.And I do have the garden going and that dose keep me busy.I love it because I never know what new hobby I will come up with
I forgot to mention I recently bought a rock polishing kit, but have yet to gather enough good stones to fill my first batch. I do have some quartz from a couple of geodes I got this year to try. I'd love to see some of the stones you have from your neck of the woods.
One day I want to see that outdoor layout you have too.
Metal detecting is another hobby I'd like to get into someday. I have an old metal detector, but it just seems so complicated to use. So far I've only managed to to detect in the backyard without much luck. Finding some places where there don't mind you poking around with one seems to be a chore in itself. If I save my pennies maybe oneday I'll get one of those newer machines that looks to be a lot easier to use.
