what are some of all your hobbies besides credit cards and traveling?

Photography! I've done it professionally here and there, but just don't have the time anymore. I shoot pics of my kiddos and whatever else I feel like clicking my shutter release at these days. No pressure to get the editing done on time for anyone anymore. I enjoy it very much!

Poker. I play Texas Holdem a couple times a week at 2 local bars. $20 buy in.

Concerts/music festivals are big for me. I usually go to a bunch of shows every year, until covid hit. 

I'm gonna be going to some outdoor shows later this summer. 🤘

I have an old pick up truck that I enjoy throwing money at.

Actual water-and-soil gardening and collecting ancient coins.

I'm a tech junkie. It takes a lot of self control to not blow money on all the things I want. Like I have a 12 Pro Max right now and really want a Pixel but only so I can play with Android 12. I buy game consoles even though I really don't play them a lot because of my anxiety. Every year I have to talk myself out of buying a new TV - it's a fight I have with myself at least twice a year (when they are released and again around Black Friday). I built my first computer when I was 12 and I usually end up being tech support for friends and family. Love tinkering with OSes. I used to go on Distrowatch and download a new linux distribution at least once a week and I spent the better part of 3 months with the OS X Tiger Intel developer image that leaked figuring out how to get it to boot and install natively instead of having to use it in VMware or dd the VMware image to a hard drive partition. I also dabbled in ROM development for Windows Mobile 5 and early versions of Android. 

Before my panic attacks got really bad I used to be big into music. Rock, alternative, metal, electronica (trance, hard dance, breaks, techno, liquid DnB, psytrance, goa, IDM, psychill - pretty much the only things I didn't like were happy hardcore and anything else that was over 170 BPM)... I was a bit of a DJ (trance, hard trance, hardstyle, breaks, and right before I sold my tables I made my first DnB mix) and I used to always love driving my car up to the mountains to enjoy the drive while blasting music. I also used to go to a lot of raves and parties. 

Photography has always been an interest of mine but with my tech junkie mentality it would be a huge money sink so I have stayed away from really diving into it. The most expensive cameras I have bought are the Canon PowerShot G series (I have a G16 currently and my first one was the G9) because they were a good middle ground between point and shoot and DSLRs. Now I'm happy to just take shots with my phone.

I enjoy anime as well. I don't watch it as much as I used to because my eyes bother me when I'm reading subtitles and I can't stand dubs but I'm getting new glasses next month and I'm hoping that will bring back some anime binges. I just realized that Sailor Moon Eternal is available on Netflix so I'm going to watch that tomorrow.

LOL, I don't consider credit cards a hobby of mine, just a means to an end, which often means travel. 

My other hobbies are taking care of a bunch of horses, running (being a fat old man still capable of running a 5K in the low 20-minute range and half-marathons in the 1:40 range, it is a lot of fun seeing younger and fitter looking folks try and bend their brains around having just been beaten by an old grey beard), writing, and, since the advent of working from home due to the COVID thing, baking sourdough bread.  I managed to find a sourdough culture which claims to have an unbroken lineage harkening back to the 1849 gold rush, and while I have no way of proving that, I will say it is a most hardy and sour culture which makes wonderful tasting bread.

Crochet, sewing, autobody, build and refurbish furniture(still have all 10 fingers and both eyes), gardening/landscaping---> (esp. with a cold drink on my zero turn ...this one could be a daily hobby?) and these are maybe hobbies or just JOYS I partake in on a regular.. camping & boating (esp. with a cold drink  ...theme?)  Geneology is in the mix too....found and made some great online/phone/email friendships and esp. enjoy helping adopted relatives in their search for answers. (come to find out, I'm not a Peach, I'm a hybrid  )

Not enough time in the day, not enough days in the week but those are my hobbies that I do on a regular come hell or high water. 

Fun thread!  Great posts and hobbies from the other ^^^mf'ers! Rock on!
