What is your hobby?
Living in the mountains, many of the drivers I work with are hunters. Always talking about getting drawed for elk, deer, bear or big horn sheep. Is drawed even a word? (redneck terminology)? They have a lot of pictures on their cell phones they pass around sometimes. It’s nice to see people passionate about a hobby, football, baseball and racing.
Danny A. is a camper! He just loves going camping. He has a storage shed full of camping supplies, 2 quads and a very nice travel trailer. I think he even has a fishing boat. The winters are tough, just staying inside most of the time but look out fall and summer, Danny is gone just about every weekend. Danny was our number 1 driver, something like 15 years experience. He retired last year and I just talked to him last week. He has been traveling, all over the state of Arizona. Mixer driver tourist!
Back to the hobbies! My number 1 hobby is this computer/internet! 3 years ago I started playing with internet marketing, web sites, domain names and anything that would lead to making a little extra money. I still haven’t found it. But I will, I will never give up! I wounder, is this a hobby? or an obsession? I love it either way. Auto racing, wood working and fishing are some of my other interest. What are your hobbies?
Yeah, I work with a bunch of damned blood-letters, too. They’re always passing-around their silly-phones, sharing pictures of bambies they’ve snuffed/dusted. Speaking of hobbies, among other things, I collect guns and knives. All the guys who hunt can’t understand my interest in guns, esp. if I have no intention of killing an animal with ‘em. I’m fascinated by firearms, because I admire, and love to handle and use, fine machinery. Maybe that’s why I’m a mixer driver (heh-heh)?
Bye-the-way . . . little grammatical correction, here . . . I believe the terminology is “being drawned” for deer, elk, bear, big horn sheep, etc.
Re your question about computer being your number one hobby, or obsession. Think it was emphasized in the film “City Slickers,” that it’s up to every individual to discover THE ONE aspect of their lives that excites them most, and to focus on it in the pursuit of happiness and success. I truly believe in the undeniable fact that the happiest, most accomplished, most productive individuals, are those who understand that concept, and are blessed, every day, with the opportunity to pursue their passion (hobby, obsession, love, etc). Success is just a natural by-product of their endeavors.
Well, gotta go whistle with the birds, feed my elk some carrots, and scratch a bear on da belly! It was fun browsing yer site. Off to NEW concrete adventures with unknown pours at a distant plant, early AM tomorrow. Later . . .
