My very un-extreme hobby

Very unextreme

[chelle]

however, come winter we could form a cosy little stitch 'n bitch club for all the knitters. 'splains why we like rope work, don't it?

 

knitting socks will be my next wool & needles adventure. So far I've mastered hats and scarfs...and sweaters just seem too big a project to take on without getting bored.

On KUOW they were recommending knitting cell phone holders. The new potholder, I guess.

[chesterboo]

I am an apiarist!

[luwayo]

LOL, good luck on your knitting adventures then!

the antithesis to my unextremo post is that the royal knitters guild apprenticeship was something like 7 years, men only, and it came with the occupational hazard of loss of sight. i reckon that comes with knitting stockings in silk.

Also, learning to play a left-handed, five-string, Alembic bass;

 

That's a funny sounding fish. What test line do you use?

[MisterMo]

 

what flavor?

 

Whatever's in season. The SO (and only the SO) gets Lemon Meringue, totally from the ground up...much much work.

 

It's tempting to strike a deal with Mike the Barber, whip out a hair pie & Fedex it to Chilliwack.

Yeah, lots of gurgling and flailing.

Five steel leaders.

I'm an indie pop music geek. If I wore glasses, they'd have heavy black frames. Current obsessions include The Evens (playing now), Starlight Mints, and (blush) Spoon.

 

I've come out of the closet as a bass player, I now play in the bedroom.

 

Oh, and I'm a happy tractor operator.

My new un-extreme hobby is re-upholstery. It's fun with a power stapler! I'm redoing bright orange chairs from the 1960's with chrome legs...oooh lala.

I spend a lot of time polishing my extreme vertical cliff climbing snaplinks to a gleaming shine.

 

Occasionally I miniaturize people to hide out in kids' christmas presents in an attempt to take over the planet. This has met with limited success.

I'm an amateur gynacologist.

I like to play the harmonica

Well, here's the reason for my avatar...my unextreme hobby.

 

1991 VW Jetta, that's been infused with much mechanics from a wrecked 1992 VR6 Corrado. The engine/trans/suspension swap was completed over 8 months in a cold Michigan garage with nothing but a propane heater and liberal amounts of tequila and rum to help take the sting out of the frigid temps.

 

 

 

 

Here's a slideshow, complete with soundtrack (Weezer- "In the Garage) that I compiled a while back.

And thus we get to the unextreme part . Even the lyrics are fitting for this thread.

 

That looks a lot like the '90 Golf I used to have (RIP). Were you able to swap the brakes too?

Frankenjetta, meet Frankengolf. Frankengolf, Frankenjetta.

Yeah, sure was. It's a full, 5-lug suspension conversion. It was a fun project, but I won't do it again anytime soon.

 

Frankenjetta? Well, I never thought of....but makes sense

Haha, cute. Looks like me and my big sis when we were that age. She was always makin' me cry.
