What other hobbies consume your time?
mohawk1367:
I don't have enough money to pursue other hobbies ;D
I work out, but I'm not a bodybuilder and I don't really see it as a hobby. I just do it casually to stay in shape.
ArchDill:
I started gaming a bit again so that has been fun! Catching up on some of the games that I missed the last few years. Since the weather is nice, I am also going to start camping some!
Pretendo:
I have a standard set that I cycle through:
- Electronics repair (ie-just go to goodwill, buy interesting looking electronics, fix them up and sell them to break even. Also repair my own stuff when it's needed, or just take it apart for the heck of it.)
- Vintage PC gaming and programming. Atari 8-bit mostly.
- Modern gaming
- Writing
- Fountain pen repair and restoration.
- Project car (MX-5 Miata)
- Record collecting/listening and hifi system building
- Keyboard collecting and repair
- Typewriter use/collecting/selling/repair.
- Reading
- Baking (mostly various breads and bagels)
- Cooking
- Etc (ie - for a few weeks I'll be really into finding the optimal shaving setup, then move on to journaling, then try to plant some garlic, and on and on...)
I'm pretty ADHD, so I'll tend to latch onto one of these for a month or two until I get bored, then switch to something else.
Pretendo:

I also have about 30 odd double edge safety razors and a ton load of shaving brushes. Most of which I never us... just sit looking at and admiring them.

I cycle in and out of this one from time to time. I landed on a good safety razor setup some years back, so it's gone ignored for a couple of years, but recently I've been wanting to sharpen and use some straight razors I inherited from my great grandfather.
I've got them just sharp enough to be useful with an 8000 grit wet stone, but the edge still needs refinement. I'm holding out for a nice 12000 grit stone for the holidays (I want it now, but a decent one is in range for gift prices and my wife never knows what to get me, so I'll let her buy me one and be patient.) Once that comes in and I can get them super sharp, I'll probably spend a little while refining the rest of my process again.
