Hobbies you enjoy that DONT get you paid

[Mark Updegraff]

Life is too short to not have a little fun!

Me (don't worry I'll keep it short and sweet!):

Glassblowing (well, actually flameworking), here I use a propane / oxygen / compressed air mix and a German torch to heat up rods of glass in to a molten state, mix them around a bit, and have lots of fun. The flame is about 5K degrees F.

Skiing: not much to report here, I tore my ACL a couple seasons ago, so I haven't been raging the mountain too much, but plan to get the surgery and be back on the hill next year.

Texas Hold'em: IMO, the best game ever!

Frisbee Golf: IMO, the best sport ever ;-)

And of course, all things "The great outdoors" Especially things that involve water!

You could approach the hottest girls and break every rule of flirting because "you're a photographer". Nothing breaks down the defense walls they put up like a camera...lol So...in a way...that one kind of did get me paid. :lol:

Tim,
I think I caught a typo in that last word - change "p" to ...
