I need a new hobby


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

I am self employed now and have some downtime. I may have a LOT of downtime next year. So i need some things to fill the day

First of all current hobbies

1) Running - but i am not the kind of guy who will just go to the gym for hours at a time. Max run over the next year would be 4-5 miles

2) Poker - working towards the WSOP next year. but I can't do this all day. Really an hour max for now

3) Xbox/PC games

4) Drinking/drugs - no drinking before 5:00 and weed in moderation

Caveats

1) I need something where I can be close to a computer and available to help with the kids. in other words spelunking is not an option

2) I have cash flow but not that much. So restoring vintage cars is no good.

3) I have a limited attention span so nothing that will last more than 1-2 hours.

4) Not much in to volunteering

5) I'm lazy

Thanks in advance

Also please no tomfoolery or ballyhoo this is a very serious thread.

My suggestion is out. I was going to suggest that you take up Gold Prospecting. It get's you outside, low startup costs, once you find a peice of gold, you're hooked. You can use the computer to research where you might want to use your metal detector, or if you prefer, go into a stream and look for gold that way.

You can do it at home, if you want to buy paydirt and work that instead of going out. (Which is what I do right now until I move into a condo.) It's more fun to get outdoors though. And there are lots of people here in NC (and all over) that do it. Men, women, children, etc.

ok, here's some options,

Since you say you run 4-5 miles I'll assume your in decent shape.

1, road/mountain biking is a lot of fun if you like the outdoors

2, Paintball woods/speed ball lots of fun it's the one time you can legally shoot someone can get a little expensive I usually spend between $75-$100 every time I play with that said it's also something where the more you play the more expensive it gets.

3. Fishing, self explanatory, cheap kills a lot of time.

4. Remodeling the house, take your free time to do some home improvement it's not hard and if you know where to look it's not too expensive either.

These are great suggestions.

Biking is good because i can do this as corss training. Although i will spend a couple $k on bike stuff i bet

Paintball and fishing are good although i need to be around my computer generally.

Wife does all the remodeling :o:o:o

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
