    I have a stupid amount of hobbies, but I’ve been pretty depressed lately, trying to force myself off the keyboard.

    Main hobbies are my camp in the swamp and gunsmithing crappy old guns.

    I’ve got 2.5 acres of swampy mess in Florida where I’ve built a permanent camp. I’ve got 2 camping spots for friends and a 3rd that’s useable but not as fancy. Trying to figure a budget cabin that’s within my skillset. That’s a tough one. Building a playground for my kids, way harder than I thought. Stuff like that.

    Stopped buying crappy guns, far too many in the works, incomplete. For example, I got a really neat Sears and Roebuck brand .22 I’m working on. Super common in the 50-60s, but I don’t think there’s anything like it now (tube fed!). My favs are the single-shot shotguns from the 30s-60s, but how many can a man want?!
