And thinking I need a new hobby before I start smoking again...... Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't do drugs, not much of a drinker and life is getting a little boring these days

Know that feeling sparky....I don't do any of them either....and even the odd drink I do have isn't the same now I don't smoke...and I'd be too tempted to go back to the fags if I had a few!!

Hi again Sparky,

Well you are in a very good position aren't you? Not doing drugs and not drinking........and now not smoking!! I wouldn't advise taking up any of them now or in the future........I too used to think life was boring without my vices but having quit smoking can say thats not the case.........and as for drinking, well been contemplating knocking that one on the head too!!

So here you are all healthy, I can think of a million and 1 hobbies for you to try...........how about a game of golf? taking a brisk walk or a little jog? Running can become addictive and think how fit you would be! Any sport would get you up and motivated!

Or how about something you have always fancied doing? learn an instrument? painting? reading?

I'm sure there's something you can fit in around your busy work schedule!

Good Luck, Shelly X

I appreciate the suggestions but any new activity needs to come with a sense of being somewhat bad in order to be satisfying. The bad boy rebellious side of a person needs to be satisfied sometimes too. So golf............. boring unless you’re hitting golf balls through windows, Walk............. boring unless it’s in the woods tracking animals (get you mind out of the gutter. I hunt them) Reading.... I would rather take the book and go around trying to sneak up on people to give them paper cuts with the corner of the pages.

Do you see the problem?

Yes I get what you mean........think we are talking the same language (a bit)........I like popping animals too and I have my sights set on the fat clumsy pigeon who keeps throwin himself into my bedroom window every morning then constantly whoooo hoooo ing.........! So he will be in a pigeon pie sometime soon!! So Sparky arm yourself and get hunting, get somethin nice in for your tea!! :eek:

OK, the bad boy man thing.......how about gettin yourself a Harley D?? All that money your savin you could get the bike, kit yourself out and join the Outlaws!! Used to be a little pipe dream of mine but never passed the big bike test can only ride a fartbox!! :(

Theres got to be lots of bad things to do, I will have a little think and be back to report later ;)

Cheerio me yankee pal XX

I guess this will be my last post.

Hunting season starts in less than 4 weeks... exciting. We are planning a trip to Main to go Bear Hunting in September and I have a few fishing trips already planned so the outdoor stuff will start soon enough.

As for the Harley D......... Wayyy tooo slow. I like fast bikes the last one I had up until about 2 months ago was a Suzuki GSXR750 set up for racing (top speed just over 200 MPH) lots of fun but everyone stopped riding around here so I sold it. Maybe I need another one...... good point

I treid to put a picture in but don't know how. Wll add it to an album

Just did a Six mile run down the c****...Getting fit for the tennis court and plan to start Martial Arts...Nothing like a bit of fighting to get the heart beating!

I feel I have got my evenings back now I don't crack open a beer and smoke up on the doorstep every night...

No cigarette or beer for that matter feels as good as feeling fit... However after a run I could quite easily sink a cold one later in the evening...Like right now:)

The martial arts thing sounds like a great idea, my son does it already and he is way more advanced so we wouldn't be in the same class, The thought of going there every night for a longer period of time makes me want to smoke....... only kidding. I may take up the running thing soon (been thinking about it a lot) My problem is I think I would like it better if I was being chased........ thinking......... and thinking............must be a Chantix side effect. Much thought no answers

Good luck defrog enjoy the cold one

Tee hee hee, Yeah knitting and painting a safe bet!!

You sure the suzuki was 200 MPH sure you dont mean KPH it is only a 750 after all? For me now its not about speed, its about the build, the chrome, the comfort, and the NOISE!! When a HD passes me I go all funny, lots of bikers I know and no I am not a speed demon.........the dream is just cruising...........yeah!!

In fact if I could ride a Harley and go hunt bears then finish with a few hours quiet fishing.............that sounds bliss LOL..............but hey the running will be great, get that fresh air down yer lungs, enjoy running myself altho had to stop lately for a few weeks, it is fun though and especially good when its cold get them cheeks all red!!

You will find something to fill the 'void' I'm sure

Wait Shelly before you go please read this

Knitting & Painting !!!!! Listen just because I know how to braid hair does not mean that I like to knit and paint....... wait a minute that just gave me an idea....... Female body painting. I have seen it before and it is beautiful.

Yes I'm sure with the 200 MPH. I had the bike set to a local race shop, lots of work and dyno tested. Top speed 206.

I like the sounds of the little trip idea you have but it may actually end up like this

Pack all your hunting gear onto the back of the Harley, ride it half way then push it the rest of the way after it breaks down..... 2 days 3 hours latter arrive at said hunting location throw out some food, climb a tree and wait........and wait.............. and wait some more.....2 days and 4 hours latter you realize that the reason you are not seeing any bears is because you stink of sweat and cigarette smoke (remember when the bike broke down..... good reason to smoke). Now you’re getting really mad........... Leave all the gear in the woods (since you’re stuck with no wheels) you have no choice but to run home. It’s been about 2 hours since you started your run home and now you’re lost in the middle of the woods but wait.......... oh look a fishing hole. You manage to climb up the nearest tree and unwind the string, hook and bobber that the last little snot nosed kid got tangled in the tree, tie it to a stick and dig around find some worms and minutes latter you have a beautiful salmon fish. One problem, In all the excitement you never thought to turn around to see the 400 pound black bear that just killed you for the fish you just caught............... THE END

Ok Sparky,

In that post you have just solved your problem, you can be a hair braiding tattoo artist!! Female body art?.........:eek: Leave that one with ya! Dont do gimmicks myself!!

Then as a part time hobby you could write comedy adventures for the All American Man..............that story was novel LOL, yes you got a flair.........maybe a book? Hairy Harley Man goes Hunting? :D

Ignore me I'm overdosing on flu remedy :mad:
