Hey you forgot rock collecting too.
Yeah that's a serious display.

Hunting shooting guns and old ammo collecting fishing and billiards are most of mine.

BTW got the eyes/alignment problem under control.

Machining and gun butchery. Will be more camping as I’ve built a tiny camper.

I collect old cameras. Earliest I have is from the early 1900s. A leather bellows camera.

I collect spores, molds, and funguses.

Dancing, photography, building Sistra (Sistrums), cursing smartphones.

I've been playing bass and growing stuff in my gardens. Got a butterfly and some food gardens.

I also grow and ferment peppers to make sauce. I've made Tabasco (meh), cayenne (good, kinda funky), pure habanero (use sparingly), and a smoked jalapeno and smoked cayenne (my favorite.) I've got a jar of fire-roasted habanero, grilled sweet onion, garlic, and chili fermenting, interested to see how that turns out. I also pickle my own peppers and radishes, and make pepper vinegar

Right now I'm growing chilis, "super chilis," jalapenos, cayennes, habaneros, and cowhorns growing.

I'm big into snowboarding, and managed an 8 month season this year. Next year I'm gearing up to get into backcountry split boarding. I also dabble in backpacking.

I have looked at those as well. Can't figure it though, you can buy a pretty decent kayak for well under a grand but add pedal propulsion and it's over 3 grand.

Substantially less I would think but that opens up another can of worm here anyway. Any powered watercraft has to be registered with an annual fee along with it. Also there are some bodies of water that are off limits to powered craft of any kind.

Added a $100 trolling motor to mine. With that, I’m supposed to get it licensed etc.

Obviously, cooking is one of mine. I have been known to make wine from time to time. We started a garden this year.... this time raised beds. That is going great. Guitars/producing music... I got all the software and stuff, played with it for awhile. That is more of a winter project when I am off work though. The first one I am trying to make is "The Anthem of Butt Jerm" so my ass has theme music.

Then I like to build/rebuild stuff. Some projects on my list includes deer blinds for our camp up north, pig roasters, rebuilding some generators, and rebuilding a post mix soda fountain. Then there is the food truck.

Freaking jerk! Now I have to live to be 156 years old to finish up all my projects instead of 152.

I forgot gardening. We started a garden this year and I'm wholly enthralled with its daily progress.
