2013? I cannot wait that long!
I bet Jim will still be wearing that rather bright shirt though!

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I don't think there is a hobby I haven't tried at sometime or other, but I'm sort of between hobbies at the moment. I am an obsesive who tends to get over-involved with things, which ends up taking all the fun out of it and spoiling the enjoyment... I haven't tried hydroculture yet, but I don't have a basement so the glow of the grow-lights in my shed may attract the wrong kind of attention from Mr Plod.
I bought a plastic model aircraft kit of the SR-71 Blackbird sometime back with the idea of re-constructing Roger Dean's cover for Budgie's Squawk album, but that remains unfinished.

I beat you to it when I was a kid. Sort of. There weren`t even any kits available for the Blackbird because of the aircraft`s classified nature at the time ( some data even remains classified to this day ! ) so I used a Lockheed F-104 Starfighhter kit instead ! I have a couple of great books by a retired Blackbird driver, Lt Col Rich Graham, The SR-71 Revealed and SR-71 Stories Tales & Legends which pretty much tells one everything that they`re going to let you know about this unusual aircraft. Don`t know if they`re still in print. Saw the Blackbird once at an airshow in the 80s but it didn`t land since it requires special ground support. As far as I know it was retired by the Clinton administration in `97 but NASA might fly be flying theirs occasionally for experimental purposes. Even by today`s standards it`s still the most advanced, fastest and highest flying aircraft ever designed.

I play a fair amount of music (drums, synths, ukulele, etc.), usually either psych/space rock jamming with a couple loose groups or performing children's music with a singer-storyteller friend. I also like reading, loafing around with my wife, hiking, board games, croquet, and occasionally kicking the old footbag around. I used to enjoy building analog synth modules (from kits), but it got to be a bit too expensive for my taste...

Cool! I run a semi-regular D&D campaign, a mix of B/X + 1st ed Advanced + Castles & Crusades; nice to see there's at least one other "analog gamer" here at PA. Prog Rock and fantasy role-playing games, always a winning combination!

Well my mate who DM's is an oldschool 2e player from the '80s and never upgraded to 3 or 3.5e, so I play good ol' 2e occasionally (in Forgotten Realms though, 'cause it's easier and I happen to like the setting and the lore) when time permits for both of us. I had completely destroyed many areas of Faerun last time I played (I'm only level 4!)... don't ask!
Very enjoyable though and the game is still going, it's just we're both busy at the moment to continue on with it.
