bendableWhat hobbies do you have besides firearms?
I count calories, weigh food, shop for groceries, convert grams to ounces, drink water, prepare future meals in 4 - 5 ounce portions.
Yeah that's pretty much it these days.
After 25 years of not eating right it looks as though the next 20 are pretty much spoken for
Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

techguyWell I’m going to get into photography. On the way from BH Photo and Video I’m getting the Sony A7iii and the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 Di lll VXG D2. I think I’ll join a local photography group so I can learn how to use it.

BeancookerOff road driving. Anything from dirt roads to level 7 or so rock crawling. It’s my daily driver, so trails that you’re likely to break something, or get body damage, I stay away from.
Shooting. Recently I was gifted a very nice rifle, and an optic by a really generous forum member. Sine then, I have been out a couple times. Now I have to zero the optic.
Cooking, as most if you know.
Recently started welding again. Built some stuff. I see an iron fence in my future. Need to find more things to weld.
Fixing stuff around the house, but that’s not a hobby I really enjoy.

Russ59Daily exercising for Ironmans and marathons.
Long term hobby is my 59 Impala, which is bunch of fun. I am looking to get into a Porsche 911 (996 or 997), but wife isn't keen on the idea.

ftttuWhat I'm most active doing now is hi-fi, which consists of the equipment and listening to music. In addition, I watch a lot of youtube related to hi-fi/audiophile related videos.
Amateur astronomy, photography, flying drones, birding/wild bird photography, bird feeding along with watching youtube videos relating to some of the above are some other interests.
I'm still a shooter/hunter and a fisherman, but most of that action lately is...watching youtube videos relating to that. Hopefully I'll be retired again in about 6 months so I can get back into the field and on the water.
