Hunting.
Deer, elk, antelope, & do gophers count?
I love firearms. Especially, the scary black kind.
A lot of fishing. (She says I'm obsessed...)
I call myself a "semi-professional" fisherman. Make some money doing it, but definitely not enough to live off of!

Golf... Just another four-letter word!

Mechanic by trade. (Subaru)
Used to be a gearhead, but 15+ years of dealership shenanigans will definitely burn a guy out.

I suppose I'm still somewhat of a gearhead when it comes to jet boats. ;)

Gaming. Not much time for it recently, but had always been a great way to unwind when the weather sucks.

Does parenting count? Coming up on two years, but I'm really, really enjoying it. Best thing I've ever done by a long shot.
Those darn scary black assaulty thingies.....

Its funny how much 'Muricans have in common lol.

+1 on subarus, fishing and firearms.
Parenting, cant comment yet but baby boy on the way :)

Pre Covid hobby was Magic: The Gathering. Played EDH. Haven't played but two games over webcam since Covid, though.

Used the cards to fund my tanks, equipment, and livestock so far. I have been playing since 1998, so my collection it fat. I want an MP40? Sell a card or two. Easy.

Wait... There are other hobbies?! Haha! I vaguely remember doing other things before getting into this hobby. Things like woodworking, sewing, quilting, soapmaking and so on. The stuff regular people do.
I didnt know making soap was a regular thing lol

Currently my other hobbies are beekeeping, fruit and vegetable gardening (which is focused on soil management), and raising chickens for eggs. I do a lot of other things but I would call them chores more than a hobby. I also have two German Shepherds that I have trained and continue to train but they are not hobbies they are family.
I am good with fixing/building things and woodworking, sometimes that is a hobby sometimes it is a chore.
If I had more money I would have more hobbies.

Wait... You mean it isn't? What about candle making? I thought in the days of Covid everyone had gone back to the old ways and taken up homesteading. I was about to try toilet paper next. Haha. I really need to get out more because I'm beginning to think I'm in a group of one. LOL

Beekeeping. That's cool. I'm also an avid gardener (fruit, flowers) and have contemplated keeping bees. I have been researching them a fair bit after some wild honeybees turned up in my yard a few years ago. I think they're wild although I guess it's possible someone started an apiary near me. I'm in the heart of the city and it's allowed but space is a consideration in my yard. I love my bees!! I was about to join my local bee group.

Those are pretty snakes (and succulents)! Are those snakes full grown or babies?

Pre-covid all this sound system stuff was out 3-4 times a month either for a band or karaoke or DJing....I have about 300K karaoke tracks (multiple versions of the same song depending how the songs were release) I have only dragged this stuff out about 3 times since Covid but I believe things are picking up. Just got a call from Camp Holly that they are hiring bands again.

So, Sound Engineering, DJ, KJ---Yes, sometimes I know what all the buttons, knobs and levers do.
Sailing when I can.
mountain biking (pretty flat here so let's just call it riding a bicycle)
4 dogs, 2 cats, a senegal parrot, some kids, the wife.
Love to go on cruises but again Covid. Sometimes howl like a cat out singing karaoke on someone else's system...go to see other bands.
build gaming computers, program (PI and Arduino)
Day job work at home writing custom building automation software..

oh and #allmymoneygoestocorals and spending time with all you great folks from around the world.
