Nerdy hobby

[Texan69]

What’s a nerdy, geeky, strange hobby you have?
mine is I used to enjoy painting miniature soldiers. Like the Napoleon war war not the Star Trek type stuff. I’ve since given it up but I’ve i am ever at an antique store I’ll take a look and sometimes I’ll find em and buy em lol

It was quite relaxing and I am a big military history nerd so it was a nice way to escape and let stress drift off.

I like to jerk off as often as possible in between sex. #geeksquad
Also I have seen the movie The Burbs 87,000 times.
One more thing, I follow bodybuilding and strongman.

I love to play a good game of chess. Some think that's nerdy. Usually the ones that don't know how to play

Lol. My son was a pretty fair hand at Chess, beat everyone in HS and the SEC college he went to, then moved out to the Santa Monica area. There's an outdoor chess park there on the beach, he saw another kid one day wearing a tee shirt with an orange T on it. My son's SEC ass figured that meant Tennessee, figured "I can beat him," and they sat down to play. Turned out the kid was local, the T meant Cal Tech, and my son got his ass whupped.

Me? I taught that little shit how to play, he was beating me by the time he was 12 or so. I would love to play a good​ game of Chess, but my brain ain't wired that way, I stick to recreational bodybuilding, where I'm medium, might do ok in the Mr Cal Tech, Masters Division, maybe.

Been into anime since I was a kid - Dragon Ball, Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and any of the Studio Ghibli movies (excellent movies for kids too)...I also like reading fantasy/sci-fi novels as a form of escapism - typically stories with interesting characters/worlds. Favorites are Dresden Files, anything by Brandon Sanderson, LOTR, Elder Empire series, First Law trilogy, Malazan, Dune, The Expanse. I usually have my Kindle with me wherever I go.

Growing up my parents were terrible about cleaning out their cars. They would have months of trash in them, some sort of stink, and you would always have to push some sh$t out of the way to sit down. No joke....in grade school kids asked if I was homeless and if we lived in it so now I’m compulsive about detailing our cars. I have clean them in back to back days. I know I over done, doesn’t always even need it,and we aren’t driving Ferrari’s,But It’s cathartic for me and gives me a sense of pride.

can you tell us a little about this contraption? You ever toy with Honda Zoomers?

this is a 2 stroke case Reed 47cc with all custom parts.

so basically I start with a bare frame, get custom cutout decks,poles, hardware, wheels, a custom built motor, i anodize or powder coat the parts to my liking, choose my gearing and assemble. This build cost me about 4500. Never had the chance to work on a Honda zoomer but it could be possible if someone asked me to work on one for them lol.
