Yes it will fly wildly with the 35cc gas engine. Been flying RC for 50 some years.

I rebuild late '40s-early '50s Chevrolet trucks. It is more therapy than a hobby. I used to lay around all winter being depressed over nothing. I bought my first old truck, a basket case '52 twenty-something years ago and spent the winter months working on it. The depression went away. Four trucks later and it hasn't come back.

Do you use the dermestid beetles for skull cleaning.

Hunting, shooting, reloading and trapping. As I get older, lots of tinkering around the shop on those hobbies.

I farm part time too, although that most often feels like a job.

No Grandpa, I do not. I had a good colony for many years in an old chest freezer with a light bulb for heat. Worked fantastic. But I found that I couldn't contain the beetles. My furs and my mounts would all eventually get dermestids, no matter what I did to kill them in the house. I got rid of the beetles. I now use crackpot cooking or, in some cases, maceration.

My life has always included many hobbies that have become what some people would designate as passions and even lifestyles. Since grade school, it has been my goal to learn something new everyday. Through my involvement in my faith, family, education, career, and these hobbies, passions, and lifestyle, I have easily accomplished that goal. The result has been an interesting and full life along with a lot of gear and equipment.

At my age and health condition, it seems wise to consider the future and specifically my future. Therefore I have been planning, organizing, and gradually working on a pre-need advance estate sale. I certainly would not want to leave this arduous task to my sweet wife. Although she has encouraged me to enjoy life and not sell things that enrich life. When reducing, divesting, and selling instead of increasing, investing, and buying gear and equipment I have a slightly different refreshed perspective. Plus, there is a little less clutter and a little more cash to cache away in savings. And hopefully there will be enough return to fund a fishing vacation for us next year.

I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

I do some metal detecting, but I do still work at my regular job. Since I will be retiring the end of this year, I will be working to eradicate the buckthorn in my woods and there's a lot of it. For a break from that, I'll spend it fishing.


Wife: That's the 4th time you've gone back for dessert, doesn't that embarrass you? Me: No, I keep telling them it's for you.

Willy I agree with your line of thinking Many times I have told others that i hope I learn something new every day for as long a I live Because if that is happening my mind and body are in good enough condition to maintain and active life .And if you are having a positive impact on someone each day what more can you ask for
