OK my bad, I think I remember.. Ghostbusters

Woodworking/building furniture for family. Cooking on the Big Green Egg. My dog. Hanging out with my posse.

Pheasant hunting
Fly fishing
Cooking and entertaining friends
Riding my Harley
Day trips with my wife, sons & their girlfriends
Watches
Yard work (I actually like it)
Home improvements
I had to finally give up Golf, my back just can’t take the twist motions anymore.
And obviously firearms, competitive club matches every month.

ETA: oh yeah…. sitting in my recliner with my feet up, so that the two cats can curl up in my lap. The big male literally follows me around the house screaming at me that he wants me to sit down so he can curl up and go to sleep on my lap.

There are other hobbies?

photography, singing, birdwatching, smoking meat/cooking, political activism.

Besides firearms?

Cars
Watches
Firewood
Flipping golf carts
Trying like hell to keep my wife happy (it’s mostly a futile effort).

This:

Boating and horsing around.

We keep a 21 foot boat at a marina in the Lower Chesapeake, we don't fish, too many rules and regulations. The scenery and wildlife are fantastic.

We have a small farm with 7 Percheron draft horses, hitch them to carts and carriages. We bale about 30 acres of hay.

I am very fortunate that my wife shares my enthusiasm, for the most part. She hates to drive the skid loader, but she handled it like a pro when I was recovering from my hip replacement.

Played tennis almost every other day for over a decade and loved every minute of it until I was almost 30 and injuries forced me out of competitive play so I had to basically give it up.

These days I love to hike with the kiddos as we look for snakes, frogs, and turtles along with any creepy crawlies to investigate.

Have always loved the guitar as well, nice to have when it’s winter here in the Midwest.

The wife loves horses so through her it has now become my hobby, learning how to care for them and help with shows/competitions.

Recently,, I have become more of a bourbon guy and have some buddies locally who share the interest making it more fun.

One of my favorite things though has to be just sitting on the porch and staring off out over the yard and surrounding landscape just taking in the views and both doing and thinking about NOTHING. The absolute bliss of doing nothing sometimes cannot be overstated.

Reading, mainly science fiction and fantasy.

Hanging out with our Labs

Hiking

Watching college basketball and a little NBA.

History

Sport cars, my daily is a lightly modified BMW 3 series and I’m helping a buddy get his ‘63 vette back on the road.

I’ve had to retire from martial arts and golf due to joint damage.

I’d love to find a local RPG group and start doing that again.

Road cycling since 1975, love road riding fixed gear bikes. Short track speed skating and hockey skating- over 80 days a year. Have raced an inland C Scow sailboat for over 35 years, started racing sailboats about 11 years old. Motorcycles, bought first in 1972. In the process of fixing up a 1972 750 Norton for a buddy. Competitive 3 event water skiing, slalom, tricks, and jumping. Skied at nationals last two years. Probably spend ninety days a year or more in an inboard ski boat. Tinkering on my bicycles, Ski Nautique, Mustang, and 1961 4WD GMC Suburban I've had since 1978. Left the waverunner on the trailer this year. Paddlesports, did nearly nonstop 350 mile canoe race with my son. Won local canoe sprint with my brother 20 years in a row.
