Given all the WB members that enjoy home wine and beer making I am contemplating a new hobby. Home brew taste testing and critique. PLEASE send samples! Just pm me for my address!

Disc golf? PHikes, It seems to be mostly for 30 something guys, have you noticed that? More fun than regular golf, but older people sometimes can't do that twist very elegantly or without some pain later..
I love to trout fish and deer hunt, to take care of my little homestead (keep bees, chickens, rabbits, goats, etc.), and teach and train in martial arts (Chinese boxing, tai chi, escrima). I live within a few miles of the Great Smoky Mtns and Big South Fork NRRA. Lucky me! I was a wilderness guide for over 20 years, taking at-risk kids on wilderness expeditions, rock climbing, caving, rafting, etc. Now retired from teaching school and coaching, so I have more time for me.
I used to have other hobbies... After finishing section hiking the AT, I will travel more to non-mountainous destinations (wife has demanded a cruise), and may start heading up mountains the easy way, i.e., on a ski lift. May get back into beer making again too.
