I wouldn't say my drawings are that good, either, though I've improved a bit since I started. I pretty much only draw from pictures. The first goose I drew (Great white-fronted), my mother said it looked like a duck! But my most recent goose (Pink-footed) actually looks like a goose! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) I've never worked up the motivation to try a musical instrument. Based on my experiences with foreign languages in high school and college, I suspect I would stop practicing =very= quickly. Although I type pretty well...

Bombycilla Cedorum Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I love almost all sports. Classical music is pretty much what I do all day, because I plan to be professional musician, so I immerse myself in concertos, symphonies, sonatas, etc. I also enjoy reading, especially biographies. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to say I do martial arts as well. (Which is pretty much the only distinguishing factor between me and Seanbirds 🤣). I also want to become a professional musician some day, ever since I got a taste of what it's like to make music together in a youth orchestra. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be really disappointed in us whenever we messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting. I can definitely see how group settings motivate people, especially when the Shifu yells at you to do those V-ups properly.

Seattle Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Cycling! Why drive a car when you can ride a bike! I have to admit that 105 today was a little over my threshold for heat. I've lost 25 pounds in the past 3 months with another 20 to go. It's a great workout for most of your major muscle groups. I have a bike trainer in the house for bad days and I ride the country side when the weather allows. When we rode up the Going to the Sun Road at Glacier I didn't know we missed so much in the car.   6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been biking less lately because you can't use binoculars on a bike, though. My non-birder sister would definitely agree with you, she's crazy about bicycles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can definitely use binoculars on a bike. You can either pull off for a second or just look through your bins and bike no-handed for a few seconds. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I can't see really being able to keep the binoculars steady and focused on a bicycle. The pull over part is good though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
