Two new hobbies

Ok as many people know I am a serial hobbiest.  A friend at work has been asking me to try out their gym.  It is a Thai Boxing gym.  I finally went.  I had been slacking on my working out and gained 15 lbs since the spring. I had been going regularly but the intensity enough to make a difference.  Now I have a true hour workout that is intense and I hope to gain a new skill in the process.  It has been hard due to the nature of the workout, lots of aches and pains from using new muscles but actually my cardio has been keeping up pretty well.  We'll see how the weight loss goes but I don't think my body has a choice but to lose doing this.

The second one I have taken steps to start but not actually done it yet and that is reloading.  I got two new rifles this year and ammo is actually still hard to find due to hoarding because of gun control crackdowns causing fear, but that is another subject.  I have purchased the majority of the items I need but I still need a few things.  The first is  a good reference book.  The library doesn't have anything on it which I am surprised or is this part of the conspiracy against gun rights?  I hope not, but it is odd.  I would rely on the old internet, but when it comes to a potential safety issue I think I am going back to the old analogue book for this one.   This hobby isn't about saving money because It probably going to take 1000s of rounds to break even.  It is more about tuning to get the best performance and availability.  Again we'll see how it is goes or I will be typing with one hand or eye in the next month or so...
