What other hobbies do you have?
We're all here because of one shared hobby, but I'm curious what other hobbies everyone has! My major ones: Cooking: food is tasty. I love trying, and making, new things. I also made friends with a local champion barbecuer, so I'll be focusing on upping my grilling and smoking game. Baking...

I have an rc wrx, but I was more into the acrobatic rc helicopters.
My main hobby use to be muscle cars. My buddy still has a hot rod shop. Yes I still have my cars but they are more wall art now. Now those are some serious money pits. Lol.

My hobbies change whenever I feel like I am proficient in something and move one to something new to learn about. Probably why I come back to this hobby so much as it is so broad and difficult to master.
Looking back to the gram I seam to be most consistent with exploring outside, camping and making stuff but can get into almost anything for a while. I do like hunting down obscure places that few people know about.

Gardening - I have the collector bug with named roses same as with my acros, I mail order a new rose from Jackson and Perkins every year to try out. I try to collect ones that have really great scents - Tahitian Sunset, April in Paris, Honey Parfume and Kiss me Kate are some of my newest.
I’m trying to get into fancy hibiscus this year, ordered some from a guy in FL this year who is like the Cornbred of hibiscus but they’re still tiny and will probably take a year to grow out before I can even plant them.

Where are your fav spots to fly kites? We’re beginners but have been going to Shoreline kite park. There is always wind there. We made the mistake of first trying a normal park and someone’s dog wanted to play with our kite too

Yes and more. Fish water does wonders for growing them.

There is only 1 area in Shoreline that you can fly kites at. It is a pretty good area.Where are your fav spots to fly kites? We’re beginners but have been going to Shoreline kite park.

Baylands park is also good. But you have to contend with other park users and sometimes RC flyers. It is shared use.

There maybe others scattered through the summer.
If you want to try some other types/brands of kites, let me know. I'll be pretty rusty but you'll be able to try some different designs and try different string weights/lengths etc.
