(+) Yeah! (+)

I play the flute and the piano (more like the keyboard, no weighted keys lmao). Mediocre in both but it's whatever

Also, I tried growing an avocado tree from a seed during lockdown but it's not going to well. Endgame for that is bonsai

I also read a bit but it doesn't count cause I mostly download pdfs and not buy paper books

I plan to learn the electric guitar soon.

Trail running

Working up to a solo ultramarathon this summer

I haven't been active in recent times, but I oil paint. Not too great at it, turns out oil is way hard to work with but it's fun.

---

Cycling, gunpla-type stuff and various tinkering I guess

Playing guitar. I experiment with techniques that I come up with on my own, and compose semi improvisational pieces with them.

Playing records. I have an entry level, high end turntable, and decent speakers and amplificatiers. I have a record collection made up of my favorite artists from genres including, Krautrock, ambient, industrial, post-punk, and musique concrte.

---

Listening to music (I've got a 1500+ record collection and I play them often)

Reading (I'm currently on a Vonnegut kick. Re-reading all my favourites)

Playing guitar and bass.

Riding my bike. (I mostly ride for transportation but sometimes I'll go for a ride just for the hell of it)
---

Im learning Italian right now
---

I like learning about Ancient Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean in general. I have quiet a few pdf that I need to read.

I also, or more like used to, like learning and collecting 20th century menswear clothing. I have pieces of classical menswear from the 1900s to the 1990s except for the 1910s. I can usually tell the general period of clothing items by the proportions. Like a Nutter-Sexton silhouette of the 70s, or the bold look of the 50s.

You got me there. I wish physical copies weren't so expensive especially for the more academic stuff.

I'm a big fan of tabletop rpgs, particularly D&D. Currently in a mutants and masterminds game (DC/Marvel style superheroes), and will be starting a 5e D&D game.

Well... these do technically involve a screen since the game is online, but you can play rpgs in person with no screen whatsoever, and I think that's generally the better experience.

---

Bmx, mtb, hiking, swimming, reading, playing guitar.

Formerly lifting weights, bjj, and boxing.

Skating, snowboarding, board games and card games.

Target shooting with my guns.

Target shooting with my guns.

This too although I rarely go out shooting these days since my dad is basically the only one who ever wants to come a long.

It's not as fun by yourself and most of my friends are either just too unfamiliar with guns to have any interest, or they've got guns themselves but they think going out shooting requires at least 2 dozen beers and they never clean up their shells and shit.

Drinking isn't a hobby... it's a way of life.

I've been playing football (soccer) for years since mid high school. I usually play 3-4 times a week. Also working out and jogging as much.

---

Fishing, hiking, gardening, reading.

Getting into radio DXing. Mostly short wave, but I try my luck AM a fair amount too. Recently bought a police scanner so I've been working on programming that.

---

I do hiking a bit too but more as travel than hobby because the good trails around here takes days. Corona got rid of my lifting habit. Installed calisthenics rings but barely used them.
