I do like to camp and fish as well as snorkel. I haven't been in a while and it doesn't look like I will be doing any this summer. It is fun. Of course, we now sissy camp in the RV. We haven't rough camped in a long time.
Lol...sounds like a plan...except last time we camped on the beach a tornadic thunderstorm threw our shade canopy into the Gulf and filled our tent and sleeping bags with wet sand; it is about 55 miles to the marina from my house; it is 100F outside with a heat index of 105-110F; the boat burned up in a fire during Hurricane Ike in 2008, and the nearest coral reef is about 100 miles offshore at the Flower Gardens. So I spin inside at the gym, watch this old house and the national geographic channel, and fly to the Caribbean to go diving once every 12-18 months.

I know that since I got diagnosed with MS, I've gotten a lot more free time to indulge my hobbies. I probably would never have learned to knit if it wasnt for the MS. Good thing I did. Knitting kept me from going insane.

Default Used to me more physical, now it's a bit physical but more mental

I was a SCUBA diver for years. now can't do that anymore so I do too much TV and internet surfing.

Other than that I shoot. I am a very strong supporter of the second amendment and gun nut. I am trying to get good enough to compete in a pistol competition in August. It's a great hobby/sport. I am quite a good shot already but range time is something I really should find more of.

The world class shooters can take a nail 1/2 pounded into a board and shoot the bullet so it puts it the rest of the way in the board. I want to get that good.

I wish I could do 3 gun (pistol, shotgun and rifle) but my arm strength is not really that good.

So yep, that's my testosterone filler give me something that shoots a projectile and I'm happy. I even like slingshot's and blowguns.

You and me both on the needing more range time. I still need to spend the time to go get my CHL. The neighborhood is slowly going downhill and I might need it sooner than later.

I would love to learn to shoot. Luckily, I've got a boyfriend who has weapons. Went shooting with him once. Only gun I've ever shot was a .380. That was FUN! Loud, but fun! I'm just scared to touch a gun since I got MS. Kind of afraid that I'll screw up and not follow a direction and end up shooting someone or myself.

Luckily I live in AZ. We don't need no stinking license. I carry everywhere I go and am glad I can exercise my 2nd amendment rights freely. Hopefully constitutional carry will be nationwide one day.

Cooking/baking, cake decorating, party planning, scrapbooking, sketching, painting, sewing, camping, gardening, reading, singing... I know there's more but my brain wont work!

I don't get to read much at all because by the end of a paragraph I don't know what I just read most days. I can't sing most days, because my strength for breathing out is 16% of normal. I haven't been camping in quite some time, poor hubby works too much to pay the bills I cook every day for the family, but I bake for most holidays and birthdays. I used to do big parties for each of the kids birthdays but now they just get a special cake that they pick the theme for and then I decorate. I get to scrapbook and sketch when I have friends who will do it with me (it's not as fun by myself). Painting I do every once in a while. I sew when I have a special gift I want to make someone. My most recent was sewing four diaper bags for three baby showers (my brother and his fiance are having twins!). I have a big garden in the back yard for my family and a friends and she comes to help me with it whenever she gets enough time off work.
