I play tennis, collect movies, series, art and comic books and read a lot of books about architecture and spiritual enlightenment.

I don't have a partner so I can't really share a hobby like you.

Knish, I used to play a lot of tennis in my 20’s and I played a lot with my daughter in HS. It’s such a great sport and the only one I follow on TV.

tennis is the only sport i really enjoy watching.
i've always had a vague dream of taking lessons & trying to become semi-competent at it, but that day has not come yet.

Cool, I have been playing for 3 years now and am going to play tournaments and competition this year.

Home audio equipment. What we used to call stereos. I like the magazines, too. I subscribe to Stereophile and The Absolute Sound.

My partner and I love to cook. If we like something in a restaurant we will try to recreate it at home. We also like camping and scuba diving. I don't really know if any of those count as hobbies though.

I collect DVD, VHS and movie posters. I collect lots of vinyl and 12” singles are my favorites. I’m always buying used stereo equipment also.

I’ve restored many old Chevy trucks, Blazers and Suburbans over the years mostly 67-72 and 73-87 body styles.

i enjoy keeping ant farms in the summer.
i do a lot of biking.
i used to jog, but gave it up a year or so back when i noticed that i was getting nagging, ongoing injuries that magically went away as soon as i stopped. i do miss it though, & might try doing at least some treadmill running.

I have a few hobbies and pastimes...

Gardening (herbs, herbs, herbs!)
Reading
Deer Hunting
Collecting Americana/Folk Art
Music (no talent but I like to listen)
Fishing
Camping

Whatever keeps us 'sane,' right?

Do you make deer pepperoni?

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (74263) 5 years ago

No, I don't know how to do that
I like a balsamic and red onion marinade on the steaks and a spicy dry rub on the tenderloins

The rest gets ground into chilly
You need the spices and herbs because it's a very lean meat

It's quite good if prepared properly

I like deer. Venison pepperoni is one of my favourite pepperonis. If you ever get a chance to try Kudo it's very similar.

I need to look it up, thanks sslssg

[–] sslssg (31322) 5 years ago

Venison Kielbasa is super yummy too.

The MasterChef semi-final last week was venison...the final is tomorrow, Wednesday.

Sorry I missed it
Deer season is in November here

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20840) 5 years ago

There is a place here I bring at least one deer a season to that makes tamales and burritos mixed with your deer meat and pork. I take out the back straps and tenderloins before I drop it off. It’s so popular that you have to bring your first shot of the season or the waiting list is long.

Are you familiar with the YouTube channel "deermeatfordinner"?

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (74263) 5 years ago

I just looked it up and watched that Alligator hunt video...WOW, pretty intense!
Thanks for the recommendation, that guy is a good host

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

He is. His channel has exploded in the last year or so. Besides hunting, he does a lot of fishing/diving.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (74263) 5 years ago

I love hunting and fishing...the diving freaked me out once or twice and I gave it up LOL...never knew I was claustrophobic until I got 1 atmosphere down!

This is a really cool channel, thanks Padeen
