I don't know if anyone else on here has done of these, but if they have feel free to rmove this one.
I was just wondering what you guys like to do when your really bored.
For me, I usually read, surf the net, listen to music, or watch tv.
What about you guys?

I like to fish,or hunt when I can.Hunting is out this year because of a defibulator placement.I can't even fish until the end of next month.My wife doesn't want to go by myself anymore,and I see her point.I read,play my Play Station II,surf the net,etc. It's torture not being able to use my left arm.I also play guitar and I'm in the process of learning to paint and making my own fishing lures and flies.I also am trying my hand at making walking sticks and canes.

Cool. I have always wanted to try fishing, but have never been able to.

I like to hunt/fish, but don't get to all that often. When I have free time at home, I'm usually reading, playing Wii or walking the dog. About the only time I watch TV is when I'm eating. My free time tends to be decreasing as time goes on, though, so finding ways to fill it is becoming less and less of a problem. :)

I like to bully folks smaller than me, only on tuesday's and never on sunday I go to church, and sometimes on thursday's but not often hardly ever as a matter of fact, and I don't disciminate, men and women alike, small dogs, kittens, goldfish and sapplings, and when I get bored of doing that I like to sleep, I even have dream of bullying folks in my sleep.
Just kidding I like fishing.

Reading. Thats the thing for me... i need to work on it because i bounce around alot. With some things thats ok because some of the books I have really arent meant to be read straight through (Like the book of customs in the biblical period)
Walks are critical to me when i have time. Its a good time to pray and enjoy God's creation

With 3 kids I'm seldom bored. But when I do have some "free" time I like to read.

When I'm bored I don't do anything. Then when I get bored of doing nothing, I do something...
It's an endless cycle :P
Keeps me busy though :rofl:

Boredom.... what's that?
I vaguely remember feeling it back when I was a kid, & the weather was too nasty to go outside.....
But nowadays I'm always in the middle of something.
Work, Parenting, fixing stuff, reading, studying....
Sometimes I miss those good ol' "do nothing days".

As a kid growing up in the country, I learned very quickly that "I'm bored" were the two most dangerous words I could ever utter to my parents. There were always fences that needed fixing, horse lots that needed cleaning, and 100 other "activities" they could find to alleviate my boredom. :)

Have a couple of kids. That will take care of any free time you thought you might have.

some photos:
WW2 American Airborne rifle platoon from the 82nd Abn. They wear the M1942 uniform and can be used to represent any regiment prior to Op Market-Garden, or the 504th PIR during said operation. I will have to do another company for anything else.

A few random German Fallschirmjager (paratroopers). They are wearing what is referred to as the "Water and Tan" camouflage uniform (who knows why it's called that...) and plain Luftwaffe grenadier trousers.

Clavicula_Nox, you hand paint those?
Yeah. They start off as plain petwer, plastic, or resin and I prime them, then paint them.
The five Fallschirmjager's smocks were based on this pattern:

That is nice work! Try to get some more pics up! My father served in WW2 in the South Pacific as an Army combat engineer, 77th I think. All the way from Bouganville to Okinawa where he fought the full 84 days. Carried dynamite on his back to blow out caves! that is all...

This isn't finished, but it's a 105mm artillery battery. The additional stands are an observer, a "staff team", and a platoon leader. They are wearing the insignia of the VII Corps:
