all right
i play volleyball and
softball and ceramics
ceramics sounds interesting uh i do computer programming kind of as a hobby on the side and i also like to uh do gardening and also like to workout
i didn't think of working out as a hobby
yeah
or playing with the computer i do both at home
yeah
yeah
well i i uh i work with computers at work and then i come home and do and i have uh a little lap top at home that i just like to play with
uh we've gotten a little Atari computer uh husband describes it as a a computer with training wheels
uh
yeah
well pottery sounds interesting have you made a lot of uh a lot of vases and things or
no i i do ceramics i i you know the pieces are made from a mold and i paint them
what kind of
oh
uh you know you get them you clean them up you know get the uh mold line off
um-hum
you know you scrape that off and uh make it as smooth as possible uh
then you uh put it in a kiln and fire it you know it's like a big ogen oven
um-hum
and uh when you pull it out it's called bisque uh it started it off with greenware
when you first start off and then it goes to bisque and that's when you can paint it
huh
do you have your own kiln or do you do you
no i've uh
you you can rent people's kiln they they uh you take your pieces to their house or their ceramic shop and uh pay them there's one woman that charge ten dollars a month for fire all that i wanted
oh
oh well that that doesn't sound like it's too expensive a hobby does uh does the uh clay and and the paints and things are they expensive
the paints and stuff can get expensive the greenware it depends on what you buy
now i bought a a chess set for my husband and painted it for him and i'd say the greenware for you know twenty four pieces i think is what they're no no
thirty two pieces is a was cost cost me about eight dollars
um-hum
well that doesn't sound very expensive to me
no i liked it i had fun with it but uh you know uh i'm a little shaky when it comes to detail work so i couldn't get the fine pieces so you know i had to
um-hum
get parts that had big spaces in them
yeah
uh couldn't do the fine detailed fine detail on it
hum
but uh you know i made my son his uh Donald Duck and you know the Disney characters painted them for him in real bright colors
uh-huh
and uh he enjoyed them till he was about two and then he uh had fun throwing them and broke them
hm
oh no
well
and that was during one of my softball games and my husband had him and he just kept giving them to him and letting him breaking them
well children will tend to do that
yeah well i didn't get mad at the kid i got mad at my husband for giving them to him
oh
well i i i enjoy working out when i i get home from work just to just to have something to do that that i know isn't going to that's that's good for me something to do other than
i workout with that uh ESPN
excuse me
the people on ESPN
uh-huh
i workout with them or try to
occasionally i'll record one of the shows that's on in the morning while i'm at work and i'll do them when i get home
yeah well i don't work
hm
yeah well i i really
so i do it in the mornings
i enjoy doing that
i haven't worked out in quite awhile i play volleyball i guess that's good enough workout
that is that can be a a workout uh big workout do you play volleyball a lot
yeah it's fun
at once a week uh sometimes sometimes we play two night games a night you know consist of uh fifteen point game and you play two games and you know the best uh person that wins two games wins
hm
and uh few times we've had a tie breaker so i played three games
and uh
yeah
then we'll get a half hour break or so and then i'll go and play another set with somebody else you know
yeah
it's fun
hm
yeah i i enjoy volleyball i'm just not very good at it and i end up just
killing my knees
yeah well uh i've torn mine up uh you know uh we play with a church team so we're not competitive we're just having fun
huh
uh-huh
and uh when i played softball it was with the church team it was just for fun although the church team we made it to the nationals we were ranked fifteenth in the nation so i you know i'm proud of that
wow
yeah
but that was a for another you know i was in another state then
oh
so i'm not with the same softball team
but they're starting up soon so i'll be playing again
yeah
i have several friends that play softball they play softball in different church leagues
it's
around town
it's a good way to get out with people and you don't have to uh
uh let's see what's the word
they have fun without doing
the drinking and all that
yeah yeah
and uh you know you don't hear a lot of
angry words i'll you know be nice and uh you know it's going out to have fun
uh-huh
yeah
because it you know it's a it's a hobby you do not want to be stressed out after playing
no kidding hobbies are supposed to be enjoyable they're not supposed to be difficult or or they're not supposed to make you less relaxed than when you began
um-hum
yeah well uh get back to compooter computer programming of yours uh
uh-huh
i've been uh trying to program some uh
disk or some uh what do you call them putting some programs into the on the disk
and uh i'll get to about fifteen sixteen lines and i'd mess up and it just says you have entered a error in line and i don't see how people do that that drives me batty
uh-huh
well i i have a a Computer Information Systems degree from school and i've been at it awhile so you know you just kind of learn the tricks of the trade and
yeah
and move on
the closest i come to uh
having a uh program work on me was the the Atari toot toot
and you know that was just a couple lines and you push a button and you hear a train and then the the the toot toot
hum
the kids like it though they think it's a hilarious
yeah
yeah
well i need to run i enjoyed talking to you
uh
all right thank you bye-bye
sure bye-bye
