BOBBER BOY

There have been occasions in my life where I have realized I waste time on the couch watching television or searching the net.  About five years ago I suddenly decided I needed to expand my hobbies to negate wasted time.  For sure, we all need down time, but when I can stimulate my brain and senses easily I may as well take advantage of the opportunity.

One of the hobbies that I started to enjoy over the past five years is float making.  I have spent thousands of dollars and tens of thousands of man hours since the age of 29 making fishing floats.  It all started with a drill press, a block of balsa from a hobby shop, and some spray paint.  Currently I am making an average of 20 floats per week.  I have negated that wasted time I used to have and created more wasted time in the basement of my house.  I guess making floats is better than spending time in a bar or watching re-runs of "Everybody Loves Raymond."
