This is an interesting thread.....I think sometime ago it was discussed. Bottles being my first love I like to do things that are creative. I have refinished some furniture. I too go to flea markets, antique auctions and yard sales. I too am a cerified pack rat. It isnt like what you see on the "hoarding" shows on TV. But I have every single toy my son has ever owned ( he is 24). I have a house full of antiques...(furntiure, advertiseing signs, coca cola, Disneyana etc)

When the show Ace of Cakes came out I thought it would be pretty cool to do something like that, so I went and took classes. So now I make cakes. Not professionally. Just another way to express my creativity. I also was a football coach for 17 yrs. Here is a picture of one of the cakes I made....

I don't see anything unusual about it.. probably happens every day.. a feller goes digging a privy, comes home and while he's in the kitchen rinsing off the takes, he whips up a triple layer cake with columns.. quite efficient if you ask me.. [:)]

Ahhhh yes....Some delicious and tasty Privy Cheese Cake. Takes mud pies to a whole new level. Do you use real midnight soil or the imitation kind out of the box? [8|]

I hunt,fish,write digging story's "when I have something to write about" [:D] mess with computers here and there.
But mostly my mind is on digging bottles these days.If i am not digging them, I'm trying to get permissions to dig them.


When I was younger,I used to shoot the bow at 3D tournaments,refinish furniture,and dig bottles [8D]

Besides collecting bottles, which is pretty much my #1 hobby.. well, I scare people with the evil eye, get in the way of vehicular transport, import feral hogs from Russia, and burn plastic in the parking lot.. I also collect cicada shells, I have an army 12,000 strong of them hanging on my walls.. to whoever says our parents had it better than we will have, I say PAH! [8D]
