Pappy wrote:The guitar is my main hobby, actually. Reading is very nice and I love to do it, but I often read about guitars and amps in addition to the usual stuff I read. I just got done building my own amplifier which seems to be wired wrong so I'll be working on fixing that later on.

But I do love guitars. New ones, old ones, some old ones are just magic. Few new ones seem to have so much feeling behind them, but that's what you get when you let macines do all the work. Greater quality assurance, sure, but the individuality is gone.

The guitar in my avatar is from 1962 I believe. I found it in a guitar store in Tucson, AZ and would have bought it right then even though I was never a fan of the florentine cutaway (the sharp point at the bottom near my left hand), or that cherry shade of a suburst. Playing it though... It was like it knew exactly what I was trying to do and helped me do it.

Magic.

I only hope whoever gets/bought that guitar will appreciate it.

Fine! Good for you! The guitar is fine.

If you want to crochet for a cause, I suggest checking out the rectangle6x9 website. All you do is make 6"x9" rectangles - a small, quick project you can take with you easily. The rectangles are put together to make afghans for injured soldiers.

Thanks! I will definitely look for that site!

Update:
I looked at the site and will probably try to make some squares for the group. I wouldn't mind even making a full afghan for a soldier. Do you know of any groups that do this? I've looked around on the internet and couldn't find any active ones, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

Here are a few places for you to start: Soldiers Angels - Blankets of Gratitude; The Ships Project; Daily Knitter, Knitting for Charity (which lists the Ships Project, as well).

My favorite is Daily Knitter, Knitting for Charity since it lists many other worthy charities to knit and crochet for, not just soldiers.

watching movies, sports(any), archery, chess, sudoku, writing, youtube, making games(well at least the coding part. I suck at art so I usually just "borrow" the sprites :) ) I'm sure I am missing allot but its late and I'm tired so this will have to suffice.

Well, I'm a photographer for a living, but I also enjoy doing it just for fun.

And, well, I'm here in these forums, so I read a lot.

I also listen to music, like to go out with friends, take the gf and kids to movies, play xbox

Other than reading, I write, watch anime, smother my cat with love, sometimes draw, write to my pen-pals, and play video games on my PS2.

Besides reading, I enjoy gaming. Games such as minecraft, racing games, horror games. I also enjoy building model cars, I've done two so far and I'm hoping that as I get more practice, the finished product will become even better! And lastly, watching Netflix shows, some top favorites are Criminal Minds, New Girl, How to Get Away with Murder, Dexter was awesome, and Santa Clarita Diet, just to name a few.
