The Weekend Hobby Thread (2/10/24)

Happy Saturday afternoon Hobbyists. Welcome aboard the Hobby Train. What have you folks been up to lately? Please feel free to discuss the wonderful world of hobbies. And by all means, leave the politics and/or current events outside the front door.

Many hobbyists use 1LB LP Gas bottles for their activities. Yours truly included. Before the Chinese Kung Flu Pandemic hit they were pretty affordable. Not now.

I'm not advocating anything hazardous or illegal, but you will find this video very interesting...............

For example the other day I exchanged my empty 20LB LP Gas cylinder for a full one and it cost me $20.42. Even with my bad math skills, that is about a dollar a 1LB for LP. Hmm, I saw them at the local sport shop for $8.99 plus tax.

Those who follow the Hobby Thread on a regular basis know that I have talked about taking up oil painting. I haven't gotten there quite yet. I thought this past week was going to be the week. It wasn't but I did finish this Basswood Plank with my acrylics.

I call it 'Christmas In The Mountains'.

My favorite Son-In-Law (Yes, he is the only one) has been making beer for a number of years. How can I put this delicately? He is really into it. And I've been told his home brews are very tasty. Unfortunately, he doesn't make NA for his favorite Father-In-Law.

Are any of you Morons brew masters? If you are we would like to hear about it.

My late Father-In-Law (Yes, I was his favorite Son-In-Law) was an avid model railroader. I don't think he would approve of the following although we never spoke about it.

That wraps up this week's Hobby Thread. What's going on in your world? I've been contacted by a couple of Morons about cars/trucks. Do you restore vehicles for your own enjoyment? Well that is a hobby. Changing oil not so much, you are just economical. If you pursue an activity that you think is a hobby, please submit your stories, photos, tips and loose change to petmorons at gmail dot com.

You can also send tubes of Jenkins Green, 20/0 fan brushes and dark roasted coffee to the address above. Until the next time, Keep On Hobbying!.
