Thought I'd just ask as I have too many hobbies.

Always had a passion for VW Scirocco's so owned my one for over 26 years now and then bought a VW Corrado G60 and in the process of buying another Corrado G60. 🙄

Computers, always been into gaming, playing Diablo 2, 3 and Immortalon the PC, Nintendo Switch, Mobile etc

Built a Sim Rig, whilst in Covid Lockdown, although we still had to work throughout as we were Essential Workers, but we had to work 12's week on week off.

Drones and Photography.

Think that's about it 😆

What about you?

It's the old saying "You have to make time" ;)

When I'm not working or flying I'm in my outdoor kitchen. I love to cook outside. I have 2 smokers, a gas grill, a griddle, and a pizza oven. I would say cooking for friends and family would be my hobby.20220529_105720.jpg
 
Good morning to all-
I prefer to think of my other ways to spend time as "activities," "Hobbies" doesn't sound quite right to me.
Anyway, I build and use fly rods, I throw up a cloud of dust- and sometimes mud- in the garden, I take care of a flock of semi-productive chickens out back, I enjoy observing the many birds we have on our property ,I use kayaks for fishing, I shoot arrows at a target out back, I enjoy fishing of all types. I am a photographer.
And for pocket money, I'm an outdoor writer for various regional and national magazines.
And from 11:30 to 12:30 nearly every day, I am a world-class sleeper. My Boston terrier snores along with me.

And yes, I am retired. from public school teaching for almost 40 years.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

I've been carrying my trusty Mini on most my rides. Just looking for a more secluded open twisty road to have my Air2 follow me.
 
Some great Hobbies, Activities and Scenery! Just beautiful!
I too like to cook outside, but normally cremate everything!

Fly fishing for trout and sometimes salmon, sea fishing for cod and haddock, astronomy, fly dressing, landscape photography, the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Far, far too many 😀

Bushwalking (hiking) for a few decades.
(Yes, I AM really tired, lol.)
Have walked a lot of great places all over Oz and numerous countries.

Loved extending this with 4wd trips until that was written off around 18 months ago, still looking between work and other play for a replacement.

These activities go so well with drone flight.

Also an avid family home renovator, still in first ever built family home of 38years.

Have been know you stand on a beach somewhere looking stupid (fishing).

I loved my '77 Scirocco back in the day!

It was iridescent lime green....people used to ask "do you really like that color?"...I'd say "I'm on the inside driving it, so I don't see the color". It was either that one color left on the lot or wait for next shipment at a higher price.

Flying regular airplanes, riding motorcycles fast on mountain roads, genealogy, writing/reading/watching science fiction, science, history, and political/philosophical debate.

I'm sort of a gear-head nerd...

Wow, you retired from teaching almost 40 years ago. You must be some age! I retired, also from teaching, 27 years ago, so I'm way younger than you. Not sure I feel it though.

Enjoying our grand children (se glad we let our kids survive their teenage years).
Started playing pickle ball (old man's tennis).
Just love the new perspective my drone gives me.
Learning to edit photos and videos.
My wife and I really enjoy ballroom dancing (it's our date night).
Giving back to my community (just became a board member of a local college).
I chase a little white ball with a long thin stick through the woods (you may be tempted to call this golf).
 
For me I love to hike deep into the backcountry and fishing. While hiking I do bring my DJI MINI 2 and my Osmo Action along to capture the moments.
