The cycling leisure or work?

Is a hobby that you enjoy working and are generally not paid. Labor, on the other hand, is a job you need to do to bread on the table, and the wolf from the door. If your hobby is just work without pay, create a new one or to rethink the old one.

When Jerry and I first married, we much time for a weekend with his grandparents on the river, about two hours from home. He was determined to teach me to fish. There is just something about worms and minnow wiggling around your hand that have a negative effect on my interest in fishing. I am a Softie. I love to eat fish, but I do not want them to catch and kill them.

A weekend when we arrived, the nearest neighbors, Pat and Wayne were there. They were an old couple, and spent much time in retirement at the lake. As we all resolve, Jerry began to tell about fishing Press he had heard instead Elrits. The toilet were reported moving water, and bite hard. I've never been so much enthusiasm. "Let's Go Buddy," I told Wayne. The two men begin to lay the tackle boxes, rods, reels, flashlights, lighting, life jackets, nets, drink, what to eat and two minnow buckets in the boat. The engine was revved on the boat and they were on the water with barely a wave. The last words I heard one of them said it was Wayne's Hold cooking. We will in some fresh fish. "

Pat expects more from me after their departure. "Come on baby," she says. "I'll show you how to catch fish really." We walked to his boat and hopped in. I looked around. I saw a stick stick. No rods, reels or other address is in sight. Having never learned to swim, I looked at the ragged old life jacket seat cushions with great care. "Do not worry," she laughed. "I will save you as I do. I guarantee we will eat fish and fish will, we are on the table." Because it is an area for fishing beginner, I had no idea how this would happen without bait or face, but she was fishing a lot more years than me. Pat articulated the boat and we went from the opposite direction, and Jerry Wayne.

"Do you have a secret fishing hole," I asked. Jerry told me that most fishermen, who knew the river, a favorite fishing spots and they rarely share these secret places. Pat just laughed. Dusk was darkness and ends on arrival .

In Alabama, in the spring, the days are warm but the nights cool off quickly. At the end of this spring day and night approaching. Crickets sang. Bats fly around looking for food. The moon was coming. I was wondering how we intend to go when the engine began depleted ring and the boat begins to slow. I looked around to see where we were. Pat went back to an old broken dock.

"Take the rope and toss it around the stack, she said. Once I got thrown around, it took at rowing and began to paddle us on the edge of the dock." We will leave here. The boat is easy to see when we get back. "Did she say.

"Get Back", I thought. Where in the world are we going? The yard gave me the Willies. I was sure Pat would do much on his word to save me when I fell through the rotted boards. The house, I could see in the distance does not look much better. Dogs began barking. I know that many of you love dogs, but the truth of the matter is not so that I can not swim, and I'm afraid of the dark, but the dogs, especially large dogs, I climb the nearest tree and wait for rescue . I admit it. I'm a wimp! These were very large dog racing towards us with their mouths open and teeth showing. I prayed.

Pat has it all in the background. They called their names and they calmed down somewhat. My father, who tried his best to help me for years to get over my fear of dogs, drilled a house in truth for me. "If you show fear, the dogs know, and then become more nervous themselves. Want a brave front and ignore them. Never run. Stand still until she 's inure to you," says he used to say. I remembered his words. I look at the dogs. Nonsense, I thought that I like the Hounds of Satan is after me, and the first big climbing tree I found. I was so busy with the dogs, I had not noticed the man walking towards us. His cry of all the dogs sent back home runs.

In low light, he looked like one of the moon money my mother used to tell me when she was warned me that if I still far in my adolescence. Being in the hills in northern Alabama, where counties are "dry" meaning that they do not allow the sale of alcohol, the moon shines is a way of life we all heard. He flourished. The man next to me was wearing a bib few combinations. He had an old cap pulled low on his face. He had shot a gun in his hand. As he got closer I could see his suits are torn to shreds and covered with what looked like dried blood and dirt. Murder immediately come to mind. Who, I wondered if he had murdered, and we will be next? I have the shirt Pat, that I had not even that I was in this context. She kept walking towards him. He opened his mouth and Pat Shon flashlight on the face, I saw a perfect set of white teeth. Now, certainly, a man can not be bad if all the problems, just keep his teeth good research.

"Hi Pat, what can I do for you two beautiful ladies," he asked.

"John, I'm Judy training on how to fish on the table after each trip. We need a stricter toilet Nice if you them, and I think a big catfish or bass round We leave," said Pat. John began to laugh and walk. We followed along behind. The road was strewed with buckets and old foam ice. There were several boats around different circumstances, none of which is good. The light of the house lit our way as we have gone through the nest to run. We have finally reached a boathouse. boat outside the house were several Trays filled with fish. The water flows around trays in the maintenance of their lives. John has begun to achieve the bins and set the fish and the fish in a row. During the last tank, but a release cat, fish, I could hardly hold it was also great. "This should be John. Put it on my account and I will catch up next time." Pat said. John just smiled and said that we are back on the boat.

I could hear laughter and talking with Pat about retirement. Said he was never to retire, not so much because there are fish in the river. Back in the boat, Pat stored in fish and fish. "Who is this man," I asked.

"He is a man trot. Each day, he and his bait trot lines will return later to check them. There are hundreds of lines on the river. It connects a trot of a bank or float a line across the streams that feed into the river. The spaces on the line hooks and bait. And then later, perhaps even the next day he goes back and checks for his capture. Most of the time he sells his catch to a local restaurant, but still has some Refund sell to people like me who like to count on a real fish for dinner, "says Pat." Trot fishing is his hobby and also a little pocket change. "This hobby seemed much work for me.

To be honest, I never used the approach of Pat for the fish on the table. I had confidence in Jerry's skills to catch them. Fishing is his hobby for years, he worked hard. As he used to say, sometimes he got some fish and the fish.

Living in the streets of us is a couple that have been riding for years and years. During the summer, we see the man cutting the grass when he gets home on Friday.

We roll the change and deposit savings in our backyard about every two weeks. Small quantities regularly. Each day we change our bags in our empty jar. We are not digging for change to the fund. We fish to the next dollar. We reserve the change in the pot. We have taken more money in the pot. If I cut coupons and save money at the grocery, I pay my own savings in my change jar, the amount saved. If Jerry is an invitation for lunch and not pay, he has his usual lunch money in the pot. Sometimes we eat together and save the money that we normally would have spent in our pot. In particular, if there is something special we know we need money. Do we have more money than you? No, we live and breathe on a budget. We get the least we can use this money for our hobby, whether for gas, repairs or new equipment. We are planning ahead for emergencies with an economy is for them with our change. There are areas that you spend money where you can also use a little here and there.

Check the weather is outside my field. What I can do is when the weather is too poor to leave the house is to use the time to catch up on jobs to do, spend time on the phone with parents who knew nothing've heard of me in the time, cook a bit before meals and freeze them, call the children and invite them to dinner, spend some quality time with Jerry. I love spending time browsing on the net, talk with other cyclists to see what to buy or trade. Rainey nights and short days of winter are good times for these activities. One thing I will not do, it's a pity I am not in the house. Jerry's boss used to say "fight the battles you can win and leave the rest away." I can not win and win a battle with time. I can only get ready for another day. When it comes, I am the first to the door.
