Hunting, fishing, music, gym,movies.

[Lacessit]

Golf. Making videos on various topics and posting them on YouTube. I'll never get rich with them; however, it is creative.

Writing my autobiography, now at 153,000 words. IMO I've had an interesting life.

Playing pa som sip ( Thai national card game ) with my GF, It's cut-throat, 10 coins each, who wins them all wins a 20 baht note. A lot of swearing in Thai and English.

Trying out new restaurants, learning Thai, reading books, and listening to mostly classical music.

Posting on ASEAN. With my background in science, sometimes what I post is useful.

Still here, until I can resettle back home. No hunting, Bass or Pike fishing. Mostly pay and fish besides big reservoirs I haven't tried yet here, and not the species I'm into, although I did catch some huge carp and catfish here in Phuket. Isaan most boring place I've ever seen regarding what I like, so as soon as I can, going back.

Electronics.  Working on a Time Machine at the moment.  Things are progressing. 

 

Posted just now. Of course because time is always now. The future does not exist.  Yeah, right.

Computer, electronics, 3d printing, currently my condo renovation, home automation, later maybe I will build a CNC machine. 

And obviously enough time to drink espresso and eat good food.

When I die. I add to it occasionally when I feel an event is of interest to myself and others.

It's a legacy to my son, who probably won't publish it because he got his mother's prude gene.

Gym; weight training, boxing (training, cardio only, these days). Listening to music (most kinds). I enjoy walking (with my dogs, and sometimes family ????).

Trying new restaurants / food, and the occasional bar. Traveling, domestic and abroad. Reading, internet, and occasional DIY on our home and properties. Sounds like a lot but this is just weekends and holidays, when I ain't working.

3d printing is very interesting,maybe in the near future we do not need to buy small things anymore,all you will need is the program to print what you want.

Pay for the program and print it yourself,or go to the local print shop.

Sounds like enough to keep you out of trouble.

Yes, in theory...

After looking at lots of videos I decided to buy a relative expensive Prusa 3d printer.

The reason is/was that that thing works accurately the way it should work. You tell it to do A and it actually does A.

It seems with many cheap printers there are lots of problems which especially beginners don't see, because they don't have the experience. That is headache.

So if you want to buy a 3d printer better learn first what you get into.
