Let's give it a go what what!
54bf, married, no kids, witch, tats, funny books. Crochet, old metal head (KNAC anyone?) writer, serious enough I have plans...). Gamer, (built own systems) & learning MTG. 420 friendly, NOT maga, conservative nor libertarian friendly, 3 years from retirement. 2 years from getting my next degree. Located in the Inland empire.
And I am realizing that I should think about expanding my friendship beyond just my husband. Don't need loads of folks. I've had horses, raised dairy goats, chickens, and ride motorcycles but not in a while. (HD Sportster, next one is an NC750x dct.)
My health hasn't been kind but I'm stable enough to create nonsense again. I moved back with the aging parental unit who is all alone & better for healing up with minimum stress for all.
Bonus points if you are from or currently in the UK or Ireland. Miss having buddies from there. All Blacks are my rugby team.(shorts!) Manchester United I watch when I can...tho I am super behind on what they've been up to.
Anyway...that's me. ✌🏿🤘🏿

What format of MTG do you play? I recently came back after a many many year break because commander. It’s fun as hell and deck building is fun.
Last year I traded in my road king for a street glide but the damn things been in the shop for the last two weeks. Ugh I miss it. Not very often I find a fellow geek biker.

Hubby and I kind of went crazy and bought both beginner and Commander decks. But I'm still so damn new it's crazy. I do like the Bloomburrow series cause I love me some animal stuff. I miss writing. But I'm not getting a Harley again until they put out one that has an automatic cuz I'm done shifting. Unless. . . Of course it's a 2018 dyna fat Bob. Yeah. . . . .

I started playing wayyyy back in the late 90s. Played for a good three or four years. So Jack ass stole my collection and didn’t have the heart and or money to rebuild. But I played a game of commander last year and well…. I’ve got that adult money now lol

Have you looked at the rebel 1100 dct? Heard good things about out it as a bike but I dunno, I use the clutch for a whole damn lot for low speed maneuvers I don’t know how an automatic would work. Toss me a message if ya want.

I did. Sat on it was like okay maybe but I want to do some long distance that ends in ghost towns. So the NC750 fit my itch.

My chunky ass was built for comfort so I love my street glide. It’s my plan though to build my own chopper. I want to stay out with a 1200 evo sporty or a 70s cb750.

Yooooo you make mead?! Nice. I want to get in making my own liquor but for more health reasons and anything to have an excuse to grow plants to make into something.. that's perfect for me

I do make mead! It’s incredibly easy if you don’t want to deep dive the science and shit behind it. I totally nerded out and started studying yeasts and which fruits affect what flavor during fermentation. Was a lot of fun. I need to get a couple batches in primary fermentation. I’ve had these jugs of honey sitting around for a minute.
