Technically I already do some of those things in an indirect way.

I build and paint Heavy Gear miniatures, which covers model building and painting. As it’s a miniatures game it then shares the quality of chess.

But as others have noted, why is not listening to music here. Though I suppose it depends on the type of music.

Computer programming actually started as a job for women– it was considered to be easy as compared to actually making the computer itself.

Well, I just spend two hours submitting the most exciting and satisfying hobby of metal detecting until I accidentally hit some wrong key and erased the whole thing two hour long exciting project. I was so sad for about an hour, but finally pulled myself together to put together a small piece.
It’s really a shame because it really brought out the wonder and excitement of what one might find under the ground and the thougts that run through ones mind about the person or child that lost the particular treasure or valuable object. Or the person who just forgot where he buried the big treasure. It is sort of like fishing for treasure both big and small without having to clean the fish. I am so sorry because I really put my heart and soul into the many different stories of our adventures as serious treasure hunters of both small and large treasures, and of course as with most hobbies men fine the gizmos and gadgets that come along with the hobby exciting and fascinating. Well, I guess someday, when I have a couple of hours to spend I will again try to tell of the many adventures of the past and the possibilities of the future of the fascinating hobby of metal detecting. Where excitement and wonderful exercise and friendship, comrodery and plane old fun come together in a wonderful montage of deep thought and adventure among men of a common interest of a wonderful and most unusual hobby that would not normally cross ones mind. That is until you see a guy with two pockets full of silver coins and gold rings come walking toward you swinging a metal detector with a big smile on his face who is half way trying to hide his excitement as I did in an old park in Oklahoma city in 1974. I guess I am An old timer now, but was a young sniffeled nosed kid when I ran into the old timers of the past that were kind enough to take in a ego filled 23 year old kid among their midst and make me teachable through some hard knocks and their abundant wisdom. I have to tell you I really, really loved those old guys. They were the fathers of the past that I never had. Yes, I will always think about them and our incredible adventures and just keep loving them, and loving them. And doing that feels so very very good indeed. I just guess that it i possible for a group of young and old timers to get together now days and do it all over again. Now that is an interesting possibility is it not.
