Not familiar with the Fallout series...My grandkids are playing the Fortnite game to death! I like that the game will end in a certain amount of time and not a level base. Graphics have come a very, very long way!

0.5mm vs 0.7mm graphite sizes is much like 9mm vs 45acp...they both work if you know what you are doing. - me

Well, I've fairly recently started flight training...

I like to keep my feet as close to the ground as I can. Good luck on training!

Oh I agree with you there 110%. Graphics have come a very long way. Same thing with movies, remember Texas Chainsaw Massacre??? I wouldn’t watch it because I was told it was too scary and bloody. I was flipping channels about three years ago and saw this really bad cheesy movie and then found out it was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and laughed at how bad it was, as movies now a day are way better.

I collect vintage guns, mainly .22's and military surplus weapons. I build custom damascus knives for a living.
This set was built for a friend (Traded these and a crossbow for a car for my youngest son)
Whitetail deer antler, spacers are 'africa wood and vintage claro walnut. 300 plus layers of 2 types of steel 18" oal.
I train for and run ultra marathons and play World of Warcraft. Fallout is also great though - I play it and Borderlands periodically on Xbox.

Newest hobby is attempting to learn to bake bread. Like, really good crispy sourdough. I have brewed beer for the last 14 years and sourdough feels like a nice next frontier in the world of fermentation.
Some successes so far, but nothing that makes me go "wow!"
Most recent bake:
30% rye. 24 hour first rise in the fridge. Baked in a pan at 450 with a cast iron on the bottom rack as a heat sink that I hit with 1/4 cup water at the start of the bake.
Crust was pretty soft, overall, but tasty. Crumb could have been better, imo, but wasn't bad. The biggest deal is getting my starter to a nice sour place. A week's worth of twice a day feeding with flour and rye has really upped the tang. Loaf planned to bake tomorrow. I'll have to see how it turns out!

I'm actually fond of driving. I have my Ford F-150 to take on a long trip whenever I feel toxic and stressed. It relaxes me and gives me peace of mind especially when accompanied with a good playlist. Though I need to make fixing my truck a priority since I haven't used it in a while.
I'm planning to get a set of touren wheels this week. Hopefully I still know how to replace the wheel. it's been a while.
That bread looks great!
Hijack away! I think it's one of the most entertaining threads I've seen.
I like Vivian Maier's work very much. I'm not terribly crazy about Cartier-Bresson, even though I love and appreciate very much some of his images, because I know what it takes to capture them when your "memory card" is limited to 24 or 36 shots at a time, there's no way to make even 3 shots in quick-succession and, even worse, it will take days until you see any results. With such constraints, most digital street photographers wouldn't be able to get too far. I don't know if such instinct can be honed.
Then there are the likes of Adams, whose art is, calculated to the last detail, and it is those details that make his images amazing. If you have a chance to see an actual print, and you like photography, you owe getting lost in contemplation to yourself. The screen doesn't even begin to do his photographs any justice.
Check out Harvey Stein. You'll like him. Natan Dvir is another photographer I like very much.
Years ago I wanted to be a street photographer and got some good feedback at a few portfolio reviews, but then I figured that I'm not really sure what I want to be when I grow up, and after two group shows in NY and a project that drained my soul to the point that I didn't touch my camera but casually for two years, I have to admit that I'm up to my eyeballs in imposter syndrome ;-)

I've been able to get in some more range time lately and in particular let some of my more experienced handguns go walkabout. All are at least a half century old and still function flawlessly.
A 1919 Colt Army Special 38 Special:
the 1926 Colt Police Positive in 38 New Police (38 S&W):
a most likely 1902 or 1903 Smith & Wesson DA model 4:
a pre-model numbers Chief's Special:
a Model 40 "Lemon Squeezer" Safety Hammerless: interestingly this one still has the factory pin you can use to lock the safety in the "off" position.
A nice old Webley Mark IV:
