i guess we're being recorded what do you have any hobbies that you like to do
okay
oh yeah cycling computers uh backpacking just about everything you know i generically have you know millions of hobbies
oh that's
all right that's a interesting assortment my husband's into cycling in fact he's out there right now before it gets dark trying to get in his miles for the the time
uh-huh
i am not quite that bad i'm just a weekend cyclist
uh do you have any do you do any handicraft type things i think was the question
handicraft type things
yeah whittle
yeah just whittle away my life uh no no i cannot
nothing like that i i do some things i've gotten into uh oh i i like to decorate things and i do sweatshirts and tee shirts and i've gotten to where i start have started selling them at craft shows and things and then
oh that's pretty good
uh you know have have done fairly well at them i've had a a few of my little hobby projects have totally bombed but most of them have worked out pretty good there
yeah they my only craft work is kind of like computers and you know go off to the little computer club meetings and it's kind of nice because i've made money on it too
considering i i work for it a living but i you know i i got a couple of articles published and it's kind of kind of neat
oh yeah what what does a computer club do i didn't know there were such things
oh yeah just all over the place they just get around and and talk techy or or else uh you know like half the members are really expert and the other half are like really not
um-hum
and uh we kind of help out the people who are really not
you don't uh you're not into into hacking or whatever
oh i i think i'm i think i'm a hacker but i'm not not kind the not the uh the you know dial around randomly trying to break into computers type hackers no that's one of those sports i don't go for
um-hum
well that's that's kind of interesting hobby what else do you you said you did cycling what was the other thing backpacking what
yeah backpacking yeah i belong to a a Boy Scout troop it beats paying United Way i just you know donate a whole bunch of my time to the Boy Scouts and have fun
uh-huh
well you that's we have done that uh our two older boys were in Boy Scouts and my daughter was in Girl Scouts until just about a year ago so we've uh
um-hum
done a fair amount of that in our spare time also but it i that's a great thing to do you know really have you been backpacking anyplace exciting
uh well just last weekend went to Davy Crockett Forest which is kind of out in east Texas
oh
uh-huh
and we go to uh places out in uh
uh let's see what's that what's that state north of us that state yeah yeah that one that one yeah yeah and
oh that one okay to the the uh oh by Fort Sill there do you
uh no to another fort uh a old Indian fort that's out there trying to think of the name of it
darn uh yeah no sorry no memory
uh-huh have have you gone like to Fillmont with the Boy Scouts
no i missed out this last year i wasn't able to get the time off but maybe next year it's a good possibility
i've always thought that be a real fun thing to do
oh yeah yeah when i was a kid uh we'd do the equivalent thing in the High Sierras and that was loads of fun
um-hum does does your whole family like to do it like you you know for a vacation you'd go backpacking
uh no not quite because i'm not a whole family i'm just me
oh okay you just oh and and you volunteer for the Boy Scouts huh
oh yeah i rent my kids
uh-huh well well sometimes sometimes uh
it's it's better than you know owning on them and making payments on them and you know things like that yeah
sometimes i think that might not be a bad idea have uh
you said you did it in the High Sierras uh do you ever you know just vacation someplace where you strictly backpack
oh yeah yeah uh not recently because you know like the Boy Scouts makes it so that i go like once a month you know someplace
uh-huh
but uh there's uh some stuff some stuff that i want to do with like Sierra Club and go down the Grand Canyon or something like that
so you know they they have lots of tours where they get a bunch of people together and off you go
um-hum
which seems kind of reasonable because that means you don't have to take twenty thirteen year olds with you it seems a little just a tad more relaxing
well i probably probably that's uh well my my other things that i like to do in my spare time i'm i like swimming
um-hum
which is in now i've done that and i i also if i like something i usually try to figure out how to make money off of it
