Besides flying Drones.. What other hobbies does everyone enjoy?

It's very interesting reading what everyone's hobbies are, and to see that we all have so much in common.

Nothing like I used to do incl scuba diving, motorbike riding, riding, walking, eating, drinking, music etc.

Now its just travelling, fishing, photography (wildlife, fast cars jets etc), and this drone thing

One of my hobbies is walking which the Mavic goes perfectly with as it's easy to carry with me even I decide to take the DSLR along as well. My walking companion is a cocker spaniel who from the first moment he saw the drone has absolutely loved it although I stopped taking it out with him for a while as it was getting stressful making sure he was secured for landing and take off. However when he was out walking with someone else they showed me a video of him behaving strangely and I recognised straight away it's exactly as he behaves when the drone is in the air and it was at a spot I regularly practiced the Mavic when I first bought it. So I've been taking it out again to keep him happy.

My other main hobby is cycling both on and off road although off road is my preference, I keep meaning to try getting the Mavic tracking the bike for some good shots although the large number of trees are a problem.

Duck Hunting and decoy carving. owned and ran a decoy carving forum for about 10 years which was fun until a lot of the friends I made started changing hobbies and I got an offer to from someone wanting to buy it. Also own a 1960 Willys CJ-5 that I did a off frame restoration on. Now most my time is watching kids activities and working....

After I got out of the military I made my living for four years doing wedding photography then I started my 32 year career in law enforcement......I still do photography but just for fun.
I was a competition barefoot water skier for 18 years winning 9 National titles......but it took it's tool on my body so now I bowl in 2 leagues [ Average 186 ]....play golf 4-5 times [ 6 hdcp ] and have been into drone flying for a little over a year and I love it. The money I win bowling pays for all of my drones and all my wife's says is
"go for it!"....you won the money.

Here are a couple of photos from my days "walking on the water."

Working on my money pit , Gunsmithing, and tinkering on anything i can get my hands on. Anything aviation related which lead me to drones which are leading to dipping my toes into the photography world.

Yea it is a great spectacle. I love everything motorsports. Fun to see stuff locally. What event will you guys be going to this year? My wife and I usually go with the in-laws to a few races a year.
