When I'm bored, I...

...go for a drive! Scenes from yesterday after work; it definitely doesn't hurt living near the PCH and Big Sur.

What's your go-to "I'm bored" activity?

I go for a drive too.......just not in a pretty blue Corvette.

Sometimes the Jeep and sometimes the motorcycle.

Oh yeah, sometimes I hammer the piano.

That omega is sexy!

Sometimes a drive

But I usually go for a ride on one of my bikes. These are my 2 favorites. But have half a dozen more depending on my mood

When I'm bored I re-read Jesse post and live vicariously thru him.

Nah, I'm very seldom bored and try to keep myself occupied most of the day.

Eddie, you have the best outlook on life...even as an Air Force guy.

I hope I can be like you someday, my friend!

Jesse, remember to use very simple words and write slowly when talking to Eddie

Fix / maintain things. Today it was pressure-washing the driveway, sidewalk, and street gutter.

If I’m on TRF, I’m bored. Otherwise I’m doing something relatively exciting.

I'm on TRF every waking moment, it seems. I must be bored then.

Rarely bored, but when I have free time, I go for a long walk.

Same here, nice long drive usually fits the bill. I tend to get a lot of thinking done on those drives as well.

Wow, lovely vette.

I drove the PCH in September last year. Had hired a drop top Mustang(just a shame it was the ecoboost!).

Amazing coastline!

What camera you using? Pictures are brilliant!

Love your photos. When I’m bored, I go outside and blow snow. Can’t go anywhere today because the highways are all closed due to the current blizzard. Might be able to move around by Friday.

Thanks! Usually a Fuji x100v but these were taken with my cell (Samsung). If we're not traveling, I generally don't bring the camera along anymore. Cell phone photography has come a long way.

Brian, looks like a great way to spend some time... what kind of dog?

reminds me of a friends Portuguese water dog (he used to bring him on hikes regularly)

Thanks Gus. If you don't smile after a walk with Norma, you must be dead

She's an F1 golden doodle. She's on the small side (40lbs) which is the perfect size for us. My daughter Ava thinks so at least

Oh, and she smiles too.

That's probably the best picture you've ever posted, Brian! How could you not smile at that beautiful pup.
