I was wondering what other interests hobbyists have that they spend money and/or time on i.e. fishing, hunting, woodworking, re-enacting, collecting stamps, etc etc.

Scuba diving. I also like to visit museums and historical sites, but that might be called an interest as opposed to a hobby.

magical monstrous steve06 Nov 2019 4:44 p.m. PST

Grousing on internet forums.

Is reading a hobby? I need it to stay sane.

Recreational shooting. Less real firearms since the public range was shut down and more high end pellet guns these days.

(I'm a member of a private indoor range but it's not the same.)

None, I'm not well rounded.

KSmyth06 Nov 2019 6:17 p.m. PST

I listen to a lot of music and curate my collection of 1,500 vinyl records. It sucks up a lot of game money, but I have enough lead (and plastic) to keep me busy the rest of my days.

manyslayer06 Nov 2019 6:32 p.m. PST

Board games, role-playing games. I guess I don't wander too far.

Reading and starting to learn to draw. But it's a little hard to put things into discrete categories. The reading generates scenarios--or I play scenarios to see the options in the history--and the drawing was taken up to produce better scenario maps.

mjkerner07 Nov 2019 8:02 a.m. PST

Camping (in the mountains out west whenever possible)

Reading history

Herpetology, concentrating on the Western Hemisphere members of order Crocodilia, in particular Alligator mississippiensis, the American alligator. I do most of this in the national park where I used to work, so I get to interact with visitors on occasion, which usually turns into me giving The Alligator Lecture. The visitors seem to enjoy it but the alligators have not commented on it yet.

I also read a lot.

Syrinx007 Nov 2019 8:20 p.m. PST

Reading is my number one hobby. Gaming and painting are secondary. Cooking is a new pursuit in the last few years though not sure it is a hobby per se.

Borderguy19007 Nov 2019 9:59 p.m. PST

Scuba diving, model railroading, reading, board gaming, boating, shooting, writing, blogging, triathlons.

Stew art Supporting Member of TMP08 Nov 2019 4:33 p.m. PST

Nope. Miniature war gaming is the only hobby. The rest of the time is taken up with work and family.
