Those are not hobbies, those are sports.

The only ones, I hear...

Wait should I take up slack lining?

I didn’t mean actually “doing” them. I meant watching them on YouTube! ;)

Are drugs a hobby? 

I prefer the term "passion".

Homebrewing!

I like to think of it as a lifestyle 

Fly fishing, skiing (backcountry and resort), scuba, driving, miniature gaming, computer games, shooting and hunting, photography, exploring petroglyphs and ruins.    

Stand-Up Paddleboarding. I find it very satisfying...

Just like a bunch of climbers to have such selfish hobbies.

God bless Tamiban for doing the Lords work for you!

The furniture isn’t my main work now, but I can’t stop taking selective commissions if I can fit them in.

we are cheap ass climbers.  not a single person here would be able to afford your furniture.  

beautiful work!! that stuff looks like it belongs in a museum.

Still eager to make a fencing bout happen on the Eldo concrete pad.

Challenge accepted. I still have three epees, but I'll need to borrow some stuff: all my soft goods rotted and I threw out my mask because I'm sure it wouldn't pass the punch test any more. My last competitive bout was at an Olympic festival in Mexico City in 1992 - we were invited as the 'Texas National Team' and we competed against the South American Olympic teams. I got my butt kicked, of course. 

Farming. While fun, it’s also a shit-ton of work, so I would not recommend it.

Sweep rowing and sculling—which has really eaten into my rock climbing time for the last 5 years. Colorado is a pretty great place to row, despite small reservoirs and short-ish seasons.

Way too many hobbies. Probably only 2 I would consider give me the similar type of satisfaction as climbing.

*Skiing/snowboarding

*Surfing

Poker tournaments. It is like a big king of the hill contest. Last man standing has all the chips and gets the lion share of $.  Uses many parallels as climbing. Situational awareness, selective aggression, patience, etc. etc.

I spend most of my free time in prayer and fasting...I will keep you in prayer. I frankly liked the old Tradiban better.

This is awesome! Greg, will DM you in the next couple days about logistics, timing. You should come drop in at NCF wednesday night! 6:30-8:30pm.

I learned fencing at Grapevine Fencing Center, now Gold Blade Fencing Center, in Grapevine/Southlake, DFW Texas. Eager to learn more about the “Texas National Team”!
