What Is Your Hobby?

Most of us have a hobby. We may not realize it’s a hobby, however, if it’s something that we really enjoy doing and we research and learn how to perfect it, then it can probably be considered a hobby. Hobbies can range from minor interests to full-blown obsessive infatuations. Does it really matter though? As long as you enjoy it and it gives you something to do, who cares? Stamp collecting, living history, building birdhouses, woodworking, video games, and many other activities are considered hobbies, however, do not appeal to everyone. These are niche hobbies. Another niche hobby is fishing. Fishing does not appeal to everyone, however, the people that do find this hobby exciting and really get into it wholeheartedly. For example, my husband now believes himself to be a saltwater fisherman, even though we live nowhere close to the coast and only get to go twice a year. This, however, does not deter him from obsessively researching this hobby, as well as, compulsively purchasing equipment for this hobby.

The Downside to Not Being Able to Practice a Hobby Regularly

Although my husband enjoys saltwater fishing to the extent of it becoming a new hobby, there are some drawbacks when it comes to not being able to practice this hobby very often. For one, he purchases a lot of expensive equipment that he thinks may work but is not sure. He is slowly taking over the garage. Another drawback is the fact that you never really become excellent at something unless you can practice it. Living six hours from our favorite coastal vacation spot only allows him to be able to fish in the ocean maybe twice a year. This is not enough time to really get a feel for what he’s doing or find good fishing spots. When he catches something, it is mostly by luck or chance not necessarily skill.

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...

The Importance of Wearing Your Seatbelt When doing our research into buying a new vehicle, we shop around, go for a test drive, look into the car's history, find repair records, and other countless things.
