My primary hobby is still collecting and working on old motorcycles. Mostly Kawasakis.
I no longer race. I'm too old and sore now. But I still own a 209 H.P. streetbike.(just in case)
I also enjoy working on projects in the home. And that's handy because something always needs doing.
My animals and wife occupy the rest of my time.
I'd like to fish more. I'd like to ride more. But I seldom get around to it.
Nice! Do you have any pics of your bikes? Sound like you stay pretty busy. You should try to set aside some time to go fishing and riding sometime. It's always a good and therapeutic to get a good smile out of doing the things you love to do.

Same here. I just retired after 36 years at the Broward County School Board....At 54.
Now what?
In my case....It was a part time job at Lowes.
I liked the idea of retiring. But so far, I'm not enjoying retirement.
Good luck.
You need to go fishing and bike riding.

I don’t do photography but I do a lot of artwork. I like painting and drawing and working on illustrator to do digital work, but my biggest passion is Origami. I do all sorts of “true” origami and I have been doing so since I was 6 years old. My whole bedroom is just filled with models and I have probably about 1500 sheets of origami paper in my room. I’m not so good at creating intricate models without a base but I have created a few models on my own.
Here’s some physical work

I lost a good deal of digital works but here’s a surviving one

And here’s just a small portion of origami I do

IMG_1985.jpg
IMG_0390.jpg (for size reference that is a dime that little crane is sitting on. There’s a flower in the back slightly smaller than the crane)
If anyone else does origami or is looking to start I’d love to hear!

Very nice artwork! Origami always has interested me, but I never actually tried it. I suppose I'll put my tiny Japanese origami book to use some day. Is the tortoise riding a pterodactyl?

I thought I would add a few more photos I had taken recently.

My art ability is Appreciation. It never ceases to amaze me how 100 people could take the same photo under the same conditions and at least 1 always produces that magical perspective and ART is born. The University I work at is very Art heavy so I get to see all kinds of mediums-foam, clay, glass, wood, metal etc. To date my favorite piece was a masters student that made an exucutive's desk. He blended metal, wood, and glass so smoothly that you would expect to see it in a Fortune 500 Office. So please all you artists- keep producing!!!
