What activities do you lose yourself in?

There are a few things that I lose myself in. They have been my go to things that I have done ever since I was a child. These are the thing sthat help keep me in a sound mind.

TO begin with, I have always been addicted to fishing. It does not matter what kind of fishing, from freshwater to saltwater. Bass fishing, Trout fishing, fly fishing and every other type of fishing that you could imagine. It has been one of my go to get aways.

Second, getting out in and spending time in my garage and tinkering with anything mechanical is another activity I use to clear my mind. Work on an old car, motorcycle, or snowmobile gives me extra piece of mind.

Third, spending time in the woods is meditative and mind clearing. It does not matter if I am going hunting, camping or hiking it is where I love to spend my time.

Finally, spending time time with my family completes the list of actives that I can lose myself in. Between all of these things they help me keep my sanity and always give me something to do.

One of the hardest days was the day I had to bury my dad. He was old it was not a complete surprise, he had been having some medical issues and he was old.

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

I built my house from the ground up and did everything myself. The second was restoring my 1970 Nova that I got after it had hit a guardrail, sadly that has been a while and I need to do it again. I had to pull the frame, replace quarter panels, fenders, hood, glass, basically the whole frontend. Custom paint it was a lot of fun. I drove it instead of parking it. The picture is AI because everything is buried in snow right now 😊
