That's what we've been doing on this rainy day.

Rod and I have flown with the San Diego club at Mission Bay several times. We also know some of the members there.

Margaret and I intended on getting together before I left but time got out of control...
Here's some shots of the NM Unit rally at White Sands last March. There were about 10 rigs and we had a great time.
Looking forward to linking up when we get back and cooking up some good chow!
Take care,

Safe travels and we'll get together when you get back!

I have recently taught myself to tat (lacemaking with a shuttle). It's the perfect 'streaming hobby. Takes up very little room and is inexpensive. All you need is a ball of thread and a shuttle or two. I'm also an avid reader but tatting is a nice alternative.
We also keep a running game of gin that's a lot of fun and keeps our competitive spirits sharp!

Not really a hobby as much as a passion... Astronomy, either with binoculars or a telescope. We always keep a bunch of binos in the trailer (everything from 7x35 up to 20x80). I find that short tube 80mm refractors on simple alt/az mounts are great for camping. When we go the the TAC Bash later this month, I plan to bring a 4" f/11 refractor on a German equatorial mount as well as the 80mm f/6.

I know what you mean about the 2-wheel hobby; here's a couple of mine - almost an obsession at times (much like being an AirStreamer!)  :

As well as knitting and reading, I enjoy history and genealogy. As long as I can get on the internet, I can continue to be a detective for my family history as it connected to world history. Love it especially when I can go see many of the locations myself!

I have been known to drag my 10" Dob along to rallies in the past, and have even taken the trailer to a star party a few years ago (talk about deluxe accommodations).

I have a strong interest in model and toy trains, too. I keep threatening to build a small N gauge layout where the rear vanity is in our '64 Bambi II as Lynn thinks it is silly to have two sinks so close together. It would be a perfect little place for a small layout!

I often pull my Base Camp to the dark sky site. I don't NEED to bring it, but it's nice to be able to crash out for a while when waiting out the clouds!

Ya know... a small switching layout just might work...
