I want to learn drums. I don't understand why all my hobbies are expensive.

Start out with a practice pad and sticks and a rudiment book. Craigslist is your friend when trying to find quality used gear. Almost everything I own drumwise is second hand and in good condition.
The level of catharsis you get with drums is worth all the money in the world imo

Thanks for the advice. I've been looking at beginner books on Amazon. I'll get a pad and sticks next month as well as the book. It's about time to learn something new. Craiglist seems to be good with band stuff (instruments, finding people to play with, etc). I've always wanted to play an instrument, and drums seem like something you can learn late in the game a bit easier than guitar

Ive missed my drums since 2013 when I no longer had the place to play them. Still 2 more years minimum before I can again.

Look into the Drumeo website too. Lots of free clinic videos on their YouTube channel but a year subscription is worth it given the volume of material on the site. I think it's 100 bucks for a year. I let my subscription lapse but I will definitely sign up again when I have the funds.

Got my state trooper test results back yesterday, ranked 95 with that good 'ol vet privilege. Finished the semester today and a chance at working on a REU project for large data transfer and leaving for Maui tomorrow morning. Things are lookin' up

Eating some dryad saddle I found in the woods. I've gotten into foraging a bit this year after my mom's boyfriend gave me some of his morels. This species a lot of folks don't care for due to it being pretty tough, especislly larger as I harvested it, but I think it's pretty good. Boiled it for a bit hoping to loosen it up, then fried it with butter and lawrys and served with green beans. Has a texture I'd compare to biting into a casing of some sort. Not immediately giving but very satisfying when it does.
@Krow I know you're into foraging what are your thoughts? Ever try it?

From earlier this month. Tbh I find these pretty gross. I've heard of people only eating the outer edge of tender growth (only eating what their knife will pass through easily) or only eating them when they're very young.
No matter what way I've tried to prepare them, I just dont like them at all.

Yeah a lot of people don't eat them, technically edible but they get really rubbery on the bigger end. Not particularly flavorful but I treated them like tofu and a vehicle for the seasoning.
My boyfriend has been completely slaying walleye lately and I'm hell-bent on being a provider in my own way too.

I quit a while back because of the ridiculous drug driving laws here. People have lost their licenses for having weed in their system from a joint from days prior.

Ouch. One of my students had that happen to him a couple of months back, but the Germans give a chance at redemption, albeit with weekly psychological evaluations and drugs for an extended period of time.
I don't drive here, so it's no problem for me. I love being so close to the Dutch border. I'm a relatively short train ride from a small city called Enschede, which happens to be where Pestilence was started. Might need to make a contraband run soon.
On topic, about to meet up with a polish girl I've been dating for the last few weeks. We'll have a couple of beers on a lake and then I'll show off some of my culinary skills at her place later.
