What do you do in your free time?

I Will g to library in my free time and read different books there.

You cannot free time without enslaving eternity.

I sell my free time on ebay.
It ain't cheap either.
People will pay top euro, pounds, or dollar for it.

Time is money.

I do Not hunt my neighbors.  No.  I do not.

I don't know why you would think that I do.  Because, I don't. 

Free time?

If my wife knew I had any free time I'd be re-decorating, gardening, re-laying the front path, painting the fence panels, chopping down trees.............

Free time.

When I get some, I'll let you know what I do with it

Someone once told me to make time. I reminded them that I was in fact, NOT a Bapu 

Zactly!

Free?  I'm always paying for it somehow...

speaking of which, you owe me $679.34.  and that's BEFORE the Bouy taxes.

 I average 5 hours sleep of every 24. None of the rest of that is free time. If I had more control over how my time was spent I guarantee you I would have a different schedule. I still wouldnt have any free time but it would be spent in different ways.

 But then, like eating your favorite food every day. Having your cake and eating it too might grow old. I thrive on little changes. If every day were the same you would have reached your pinnacle at day one. I'm following a course but I realize I'm not the one at the helm of the ship,although I am allowed to co-pilot sometimes.

 When I do what I want I'm usually in the studio. I pull away into the cave and then venture out when I have to,being in the cave all the time ain't healthy either. I might find myself on the porch enjoying a beverage deciding what to do next. The older I get the more I think about something before I do it lol.

Isn't is obvious, laff. I spend a lot of time here and there... I LOVE to read too and the best thing I have bought in YEARS is the KINDLE... I connot emphasize this enough.. the KINDLE is the best thing I have bought in years. Most of the books I read are free. I like memoirs and classics. Most of the books I buy are cheap but some I pay more for because I cannot wait or they are highly recommended. I am usually reading 4-5 book at any one time, and read them at different ties of the day or according to my mood. Recently I decided to read Jefferson Davis' book, The Rise and Fall of the Government of the Confederate States of America. Then I decided to counter balance (not that any is really needed) by getting and starting The Slave Narratives... the Narratives are some amazing work. They are interviews with elderly black people who were born into slavery. The interviews were done by the WPA in the 1930s. There are scrores of them. There are four volumes of the GA narratives, there are volumes from everywhere, there are even Slave narratives from slaves that were owned by Indians. They are written in the vernacular of the people being interviewed and are REALLY interesting... and they are free downloads for the Kindle or for that matter the Kindle APP for the PC.
 
My daily devotional.. Grace For the Moment, by Max Lucado
 
I am also reading Military Memoirs of a Confederate: A Critical Narrative by Gen, Edward Porter Alexander. I read his other book Fighting fr the Confederacy: The Personal Memoirs of Edward Porter Alexander, last year and it is one of the better books I have read from that era. He wrote it after the Military book at the insistance of his daughters and it really is good.

I also get two magazines: Guitar Player and American Digger ( I have 7 or 8 metal detectors from old to new/from beginner to top of the line) My other hobby is relic hunting. I have a pretty good collection of Civil War relics and other old stuff.. from old coins, to horse shoes, to brass buttons, to Three Merry Widows tins... detecting may look nerdy but is an amazing hobby because you just never know what you might dig up in an old yard or in the woods. I had the pleasure of finding a girls engagement ring at the beach a few years ago. She had lost it playing volleyball, it was easy to find and very rewarding.
 
I am semi-retired... finally. I still own my own business but don't have to do a lot of work. I didn't do any in August. I might do a ittle in September but then I will take off until March... I now have time to do this sort of thing, to read, and to learn to learn X1. Life is good, if painful... I can't complain though.
 
So many books... so little time. I bet a lot of today's younger generation could not make sense of a book written before the mid 19th century. 19th century people were generally much more literate.

bet most of those people from the mid 19th century are dead now.

 
Their words live on...
