What's your 'other' hobby?

[Colin1230]

When I was teenager, I wanted to play the guitar really bad. But growing up in a small town in SW Kansas, there were no music shops for a hundred miles.
Now that I'm in my sixties, I can play the guitar...................really bad!

Ha Ha , funny you would say that. i just started to learn the guitar......for the last 12 years now

Not a current hobby.
I'm not financially able to maintain four hobbies.
I had my fun with skydiving, I do miss it, but...
I had to choose the shooting, fishing and hunting since I can share them with my family.

Cooking, but I suck. Better at bbq.. gardening and waisting time

I've been golfing since I was in elementary school. In 2019 I played maybe a dozen times, and last year not at all. I estimated I saved at least $2,000 last year then used that as an excuse to buy an MES 40.

My wife and i best friends, love fishing also, she bought me my first boat, we both go fishing as often as we can. Love to go hand lining or just fishing off the dock at home for trout or bass

Since our Granddaughter was born in November, she's been our hobby, lol. Prior to that, I collected Zippo lighters for 30 years. I have approx 3000 + Zippo's plus several spinner racks, etc. Haven't done much with it the last 2-3 years. It's gotten a little more expensive than it used to be.

I'll second that with an addition of golf. Use to coach baseball for my son but that's out the window right now with all the uncertainty here. We are focusing on the individual recreational items you mention, and I couldn't be happier. Just need to focus on making time for them.

Neat thread... Seems like a perfect way to reintroduce myself to the group.

I'm preparing to get back into vegetable gardening this season. Maintaining my 1890-built house is also considered somewhat of a hobby, I guess? I also enjoy kayaking and sometimes bring a fishing rod with me and pretend I know what to do with it (zero--yes, zero--catches last season). Recently decided to visit all of New Hampshire's covered bridges, too, which is a great excuse to just get out and explore my beautiful state.

Recording concerts and collecting concert recordings. Not being able to do that since last March has led me to spending more time smoking food. In normal times I am recording in excess of 100 bands a year and the last 3 I recorded before the shutdown was Eric Clapton's tribute to Ginger Baker in London, Buddy Guy in Oakland and the Allman Brothers show in New York. Once I get my second vaccine I will be ready for more of that.

Very cool!

Check this out. This was Eric Clapton's tribute to Ginger Baker. Was a group project with 4 friends running video cameras. 2 were from UK, One from Denmark, one from Japan and I did the audio tracks where it sounded the best. One of the guys running video was shut down midway through the show but there was still enough footage to complete the show.

Love the intro!

 

[Inscrutable]

Too damn many hobbies to pursue deeply concurrently .... each tend to ebb and flow

Audio gear playing and restoration
Media (vinyl & tape) collection and listening
Golf
Woodworking
Boating
Threatening to take up fishing ( the fish aren’t worried)
Threatening to learn/play guitar and bass (my instruments similarly mocking me)

Dont have the big theater anymore for real movie experience, and don’t have the rotator cuffs and knees anymore for tennis.
