Lisa’s blogging has suffered quite a bit as well as her crafts (sewing, cross-stitching). For me . . . WORK!

😆 Thanks for bringing it up!

Where to start?

Well I have not washed “The Geo-Jimmy” for months.

It’s been so long since I’ve trail-ridden my bike that when I filled the tires to head to the 4th of July parade, they were completely empty of air.

I bought an airbrush over a year ago to take up that hobby again, but used it just the first time last week to touch up the paint on the wife’s car to trade it in.

I had an R/C nitro Monster Truck I used to race, but it sat so long. I sold it on e-Bay to further fund my caching adventures.

The good news is, I now use the Geo-Jimmy more for caching than for work. Since I aired up the tires on my mountain bike, I’ve ridden it more, and plan to use it to cache now as well. And, the airbrush I know will come in handy for cammoing some upcoming caches.

So, the moral to the story is this I guess…

…Don’t give up your old hobbies, combine them???

I second the fishing. I haven’t even bought a licenses yet this year. I even got a new 10 ft Ultra light rod and reel combo and it hasn’t even seen the water. And Reading. I use to read a lot, but now I spend my time on here! 😯 😳 🙄 😉

What have I been neglecting to go caching? Cleaning, cooking, and yard work. That way I still have time for my hobbies and sleep, but not much more. Will probably be doing a lot of catch-up cleaning this weekend as Mr. GOJeeper has decided to pursue his favorite hobby of off-road Jeeping. *sigh* We did get some major (for us) caching in on Wednesday so I can’t complain.

We use to share Packer season tickets with my (Cathy) brother, but since geocaching, we have given up spending the time and mega bucks on a schedule set up by the NFL, sitting in weather for hours that may or may not be comfortable, and witnessing one team win and one team lose.
With geocaching we spend less money for 48 hours (time we choose) of fun, exercise, history & geographical lessons, etc. and usually win 40- 50 times…with minimal losses.

Oh, still take photos, create albums of the venture, hiking, snowshoeing, canoeing, biking, picnics, and making new friends… seems like the hobby has added more than taken away in our lives.

Agree, there. I used to go to every home game on my families tickets (I “own” a seat up there cuz I coughed up the $1400 user fee to keep the ticket in the family). Now I will only go to the first and the last games of the season and maybe one in between. I can’t quite justify spending that kind of money on something when I could spend tremendous amounts less doing something I enjoy even more! (and I can still listen to Wayne and Larry in the car!)
