Monthly poker game with friends (...I am a terrible player so I prefer giving my money to friends rather than strangers).

Had the same epiphany about football pools and gambling on sports. While I'm a pretty good poker player I'm a horrible gambler (poker played correctly is not gambling) so giving up football pools and placing bets on games was a relief and allowed me to start enjoying football again. Why do I need to pull my hair out because the Raiders end up covering, or Minnesota kicks a last second field goal to wreck my card. It was all foolish so I gave it up and I've not regretted one second. If I had cooler friends I'd start another poker game but honestly I can live without it.

The licensing requirements these days for a Technician license almost makes amateur radio seem like a CB. There is a 35 question multiple choice test that is based on a larger question pool where everyone has access. Most just memorize the Q&A either during a "ham cram," 7 hour study session right before taking the exam or on their own. In addition, the requirements of morse code was removed from the test years ago. Today's operators have it easy. There are three different licenses (technician, general, extra). Each upgrade allows you access to more frequencies. A general class license is the most you would need. You can talk to anyone in the world bouncing off repeaters and such. You can learn more here: http://www.arrl.org/ham-radio-licenses GMRS also requires a no test license and is what most people are familiar with when they see those handheld "walkie talkies" at the store or in use by parents and kids at a park. These require line of sight operation and may get a range of >5 miles without obstruction or 1 mile in obstructed areas (forests, buildings, etc.) To learn more about various radio frequencies you can visit this site. http://www.radioreference.com/ '73 Edit: just realized you're in Canada. The comments I made are for the U.S. Not sure what the requirements are but nonetheless it's a fun hobby if you're interested in this type of stuff. |

Watching the workings of some honeybees when time permits:
rolexguynfl-bee.jpg They seem to work at their own pace, which doesn't produce much reward other than watching them dart about. The spend more time watching the clock than working I guess.
