What are your other hobbies/

LOL Yes I have seen that before. I always like to point out the inaccuracies of the "uniform" he is wearing LOL

 

Stefan, now that I see the pics, I get it!! Good one!!

JCF, nice pics!

 

Thanks. It was alot of fun being there and participating .

 

I'll bet it was! Looks like fun to me!
Stefan, we need to see a pic of you now!
Michelle, very nice paintings! I like your studio as well!
Since I am requesting pics of you guys in your hobbies, thought I would post one of me as well. This is just about a month ago, a 5 ft shark I caught in about 30 feet of water, he fought like crazy!



sorry, i forgot to mention, this is a Lemon shark.

 

Ask and you shall receive:

 

Dont ya just love the smell and feel of wet wool Stefan? LOL

 

My Hobby Room/Library/Computer Room and all around just my little corner LOL.

 

Damn right mate, my room even has a whiff of that universal 'stores' smell coming from old uniforms and polished boots.

Ahh, there are few things better than waking up and realising that during the night your heavy woolen uniform has absorbed all the water from miles around and now weighs twice your bodyweight, but at least the little body heat you have managed to produce has warmed it up a little!

Well Oregon is the worst place to wear a wool uniform LOL. Rain and heat. I thank god for my "gum blanket" while pulling picket duty.

 

A few more of me.

 

My Sharps will do you. You will never know what hit you....

 

LOL. We have had a few Sharps shooters in our reenactments. There is one in the lower left hand corner of this pic.

 

Mine's an 1859 replica with micrometer tang peep sight and globe and hood front using 550 grain triple grease ring minie balls or 650 grain triple grease ring flat bottom patched ball over 80 gains of musket powder. Freight train meets match stick, if you know what I mean.
I'm working on getting a 40 cal maynard in a ballard highwall drop block so I can use .303 cartrigdges for reloads but that is a while off yet.

 

Music listening ( especially 80´s music )

Movie watching ( comedies, scary movies )

Watching and playing football

 

Love the pics JC, particularly the check shirt one. 'Scruffy soldiering' is definately the future when it comes to re-enactment, it looks so much better than the pristine parade ground tin soldiers you see around a lot of the time.

 

Thanks . At least the shirt is cotton so I am somewhat cool. Everything else is wool. I try to not wear the shell jacket or Frock coat as mush as possible during the summer.

 

Kai, I love the 80's music! The hard rock, pop, punk, Ilike it all! Well, except Madonna!

 

70s - 80s for me. Once again dating me lol.

 

Collecting wrestling figures is my other hobby and listening to music along with watching movies.
