  Aside from brewing beer, what other hobbies do you all have?  Fishing and Fords of various design are mine.  I have several Mustangs, a couple F150's and a Explorer.  I really enjoy ocean Fishing, whether from shore, jetty or boat.  Haven't fished for trout for near 15 years, but I do enjoy fishing the Susquehanna River in PA for Small Mouth Bass, catfish & Muskie.

  I also like to cook!  In a way, that's how the brewing started!  Did you ever notice how much fresh bread smells like fresh wort!  I did!  I was proofing yeast for some bread I was to make for my daughter, smelled so much like a good stout it was unreal!  And yes, since then I have made "beer" bread.

  Picked up a recipe from my Niece's husband for Soft Pretzels I want to try.  He had them for treats during football games Saturday, fresh from the oven!  Awesome!

We have several other hobbys as well.  We like to go camping in the Rv and tenting too.  We like to go fishing in lakes and rivers. I have not had the opportunity to fish in the ocean.  Just got a 2011 diesel ford truck so I have been learning about that too.  Sometimes it seems like we all have too many hobbies and not enough time or money.

  Yeh, the time & money thing is a b!tch.  At this point, DOWN SIZING is the one constant order of the day.  We tent camped for years.  We discovered the log cabins at many camp sites, so most of the camping equipment will be at the next yard sale!  I had been buying/ selling Ford car & truck parts for about 15 years, so it seems every nock & cranny has parts from this or that.  Need a grille for a 1938 Ford truck?  Grille trim for a '48 truck?  How about a 1962 406 engine?  '98 Cobra Engine? I already took 10,000 lbs into recycle.  I have a 1991 Chevy 1 ton 15 passenger van I used for hauling to shows, thats next for the recycle yard!  Damn shame it only has 60,000 miles on it, but mice got into the wiring.
  I used to hunt a good bit, but multiple bulging/ degenerating disc's in the neck & back has ended that.  No wonder that beer tastes so good!!
