mabe its time to revisit an old favorite topic. Whats you fav hobby/
interest?
my hobbys are restoring all things old, and i collect minerals. im
restoring an 1862 hearse right now, no ine has ever seen on like this.
it is smaller, and has a sleigh gbody for the winter and a carriage
frame for the summer. i believe it is the only one like it in existance.
been working on it for a few months now, and i have the carriage frame
and the sleigh body done. Am working on the fills now. ( the part that
the horse connects to.) this one has both types, for one and two horses.
havent started on the hearse body itself yet though i do have all the
wood planed and ready. usually i can be found restoring old water pumps
, but they are on hold till i finish this project.

Ram, that's too cool. Are you the one who collects and restores the
water pumps too?

No main hobby at the moment, except for pool/billiards. I love to do
miniatures. I do quilling, I make elaborate things out of rolled or
scrolled up paper, like doll house furniture, or fixtures, several music
boxes and miniature shadow box type wall hangings, and room settings for
display, all out of paper.

I learned to fly these sailplanes and enjoy the lake on my SeaDoo. I
have been the President of a remote control airplane club. I
ski,skate,parasail and dirt bike. Adult go-karting is fun and I am a
Nascar fan. Hiking and camping is a blast along with mountain biking.
There's more just ask.drinker

My hobby is being awesome.

As you can see, I've never really dedicated myself to it much.

... as for my mineral collection, i have a bunch of Trinitite, which was
sand fused into glass from the first atomic explosion in 1945 in New
mexico. Yes its radioactive, but very mildly so, less than a granite
countertop actually. i have some fairly large pieces, one is 42 grams.
Also, i have some asbestiforms, or asbestos bearing rocks. yah thier
safe to handle, only after processing into asbestos is there a danger. i
have some flourescent/radioactives, and some other minerals such as the
lead ores. i call it my toxic mineral collection. they are very
interesting, some are quite beautiful actually with thier crystal
structures, and quite safe to handle if you take proper precautions. i
keep all my toxic minerals in glass jars to contain any dust, and if i
handle them i do so on newspaper, which i can discard afterwards. all
my radioactives i store in a concrete/lead container in a locked shed
away from any houses. this is overkill actually because all the minerals
are just slightly radioactive, all are less than an older coleman
lantern mantle, which are actually quite hot i was suprised to find.
i have some very old geiger counters which i can use to test the
minerals as well as my containment vessel. ther are a lot of myths about
radioactivity, some believe that you can become contaminated by exposure
to radiation and actually become radioactive. this is in fact true only
if you ingest the item, not just by being near it.
the readings drop off fast as you get farther away from the mineral,
with no readings at all as close as one foot from the source. these are
of course just very mildly radioactive.

Rambill..that's really interesting. Can't wait to see the end.
Redy...that sounds pretty neat. That would be really neat to learn I
think.

rambill... I have to use a radioactive soil compaction testing gauge at
times that has 2 pieces of radioactive material inside it. We have to go
to school to learn how to safely handle it and we wear monitoring badges
when we are near it to keep track of the amount of REMS that we are
recieving. Once we recieve the maximum amount we can no longer work with
or be near that machine. I am not around it much so I don't glow in the
dark.!!laugh laugh
