Inspiring thread reading about all the cool things everyone does! Anyway, by day, I toil as a lowly government staff attorney negotiating environmental cleanups on sites contaminated with hazardous substances and oil spills in waterways. When I’m not doing that, the kids take up most of my time. Lately, we’ve done a bit of camping, light off-roading and archery the past few years.

That’s awesome! I want to get back into archery so bad! It’s like having another race car or reloading bench. Lol

Btw, love the Toyota. Got a Tacoma with 200K. Best truck I ever had.

I’ve avoided this thread for a while because I feel useless now that I don’t work. I was an Independent Petroleum Landman in Texas. Now, in Indiana, I don’t know what I am, but I haven’t been very productive. I like to piddle with different things. Like to build things. Nothing fancy and I don’t own any real woodworking tools, not even a table saw, just a handheld circular saw and a drill. What ever I can make with some 2x4’s and I’m pretty happy. Made my cats a house (in pics) with two entrances (one high for the cats and one low for the little dogs) it has levels in side for them and a catwalk. Made some benches for an outdoor wedding, a room size loft for the kids room, a dog house for one of the big dogs, cat trees, etc. I built my home in TX but don’t have any pics of it on this computer. Gave it to my son when I moved along with my land. No expert by any means, but I do it all by myself so I take pride in it, given I am self taught in the carpentry, electrical and plumbing. Finishing work is not my thing however or any kind of detail work. I also dabble with sewing (learning that too). I’ve made some dog leashes and collars (in pics). Currently have about 8 or so still to make for people. Sew lots of cat beds for the local animal shelter (and my own cats), just finished some baby gowns and quilts for my newly born great nephew, and working on a robe for my granddaughter (it’s turning out just terrible). I have spent over the last year fostering pregnant or nursing cats and orphaned or sick kittens and bottle feeding them for the local animal shelter. Quite time consuming as I have had multiple litters of bottle babies (including puppies) at the same time to feed (21 I think all at once), but I am taking a break from that (pics of one litter under the loft I built for the kids). Other than that, I can’t say as I do very much.
