Diving, boating, traveling, but not much of that lately. Keeping birds and dogs, and a few other pets. Cooking new things when I can. I’m in the sports mom phase right now, so the main hobby is my kid.

Digging out my white belt and jorts and riding around in my Vette.

Building models and working on my diorama.

Creating Rube Goldberg/Tim the Toolman machines out of whatever I have laying around.

Flower gardening.

Most of my free time outside my day job is spent preparing to preach or teach at my church. Normally I hunt a couple times a year too, usually for feral hog.

Fly fishing and bird hunting are what take up most of my free time when not shooting. I guess bird hunting technically involves shooting but to me it is less about the firearms.

Last year I sold my motorcycle when my adult son expressed an interest in getting one for himself. It has gotten too congested and dangerous to ride anywhere around Nashville even out into the deep rural suburbs. I made him a deal that if I sold mine that he would not get one while I am alive. The last few years I would long for rides and with 15 minutes of riding had the overwhelming feeling of just trying to survive them. Way too many close calls with drivers running red lights and displaced deer from all the developing around us. I don’t miss it much at all.

My number one hobby is riding my motorcycle and I also enjoy home improvement projects.

Photography and Volunteer EMS (although sometimes this feels like a second job)

Somebody has to say it.

Hookers and Blow

Hiking, biking, walking and disc golf.

I am studying languages, currently Spanish. Not sure that's a hobby but an interest.

Guitar and working on my Spanish. I don’t consider exercise a hobby, but I fit that in between morning guitar playing and afternoon Spanish. We like to sauna at least 5 days/week and before you know it, supper time.

Skiing, MC riding, hiking, golfing.
Kind of depends on the place and season.

Mostly not dying. This includes getting out on the bike when weather permits, maintaining and putting on muscle, proper nutrition, and accumulating knowledge on human biology (Gary Brecka is a person I am currently following). I am also finding pleasure in listening to/collecting vinyl and other physical media.

It was motor cycle riding until a soccer mom pulled out in front of me in 2017

Fishing when I can

Collecting firearms

The wife and I are amateur foodies, we love going to different restaurants and wine tastings

Reading, reloading, bowling, and woodworking.

Cars and motorcycles

I do miss having a motorcycle in the garage. We need to get out for another ride soon.
The Midget gets my 'hobby time' which seems to be less & less with 3 busy kids.

Per the OP:
I'm cheap, so I DIY as much home & auto stuff as I'm able.
Want to get a 3D printer & dabble in that as well.
