ATV riding. i have 2 ATV. a 2024 Yamaha Kodiak 700 EPS. and a 2025 Kawasaki Brute Force 750. i ride in a gigantic area with almost endless trails. i am a member of an ATV club and i have my annual pass. gives me access to provincial trails. i ride in an area called Haute Cote Nord. land area is 12 557 square kilometers.
Stargazing. but i do it exclusively with Binoculars on a tripod or hand held. i prefer Binoculars because the image quality is much better. i m not interested in extremely distant objects. i like beautiful views. wide fields.
i also played drums, but decided to stop after 35 years. it is simply too expensive and complicated. i decided to stop last month. i am currently selling all of my drumming gear.

Wow that table is impressive. I love surfing craigslist free section and finding stuff i think i can fix. Basically it either works out im my favor or how it usually goes is i get the item and realize after digging into it it needs more than anticipated but end up fixing it anyway. Its a great way to learn about stuff plus new processes to fix things and you can justify buying cool tools along the way.
I enjoy 4 wheeling. When the kids were young we use to trail ride but as they left home and had kids of their own we mainly use them for work.
My Son-in-law plays drums in a band . I enjoy there shows .

Most of my hobbies are boring to most people lol. But they would be collecting old electronics like VCRs, the original iPhone and all older iPhones etc. I collect movies like VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray and have over 1,000 DVD/Blu-Ray and around 200 VHS tapes.
I enjoy studying baseball statistics and watching baseball and collecting baseball cards and equipment. As well as restoring old baseball gloves.
I enjoy detailing cars especially when it comes to the washing and waxing parts. And then I really enjoy working on my project cars but I’ve lost so much motivation to do that because where I’m a mechanic 5 days a week I don’t want to do anything on weekends lol. And I enjoy tinkering with small engines too like mowers, pressure washers, tillers, hedge trimmers etc.
And I enjoy collecting and restoring old stuff like shovels, dolly’s, wheelbarrows etc. This week I’m on vacation so I’m planning on at least getting one dolly sanded and primer and hopefully painted too. And then I’ve got a new handle for a shovel that snapped on me so I hope to get that done as well.
Just so many hobbies for me but it passes the time and I really enjoy them.

No space for hobbies really.
That's interesting to play for 35 years and put down the sticks because it's "complicated". That is a lot of years to practice and get good at it!
I've also been playing for about 25 years, give or take. But I still actively play a few times a week, so a few hours of kit time. No band or anything, just jamming along to music and just improving my skills. I'd be interested in a few people just to play and jam with, not so interested in playing shows and all that (as of now). I drum mostly for exercise, stress relief and fun/enjoyment more than anything. I still genuinely enjoy playing, though.
My kit:
I also have another new cymbal on the way I just bought... Zildjian 18" K Sweet Crash currently en-route!
Other hobby wise, I love making bread/pizzas and cooking in general. Cook basically everything we eat when not on vacation. Have a few smokers and love to smoke/BBQ.
Traveling is a big one for us... This year alone we have gone to the Poland, Germany and Hawaii... This November we are off to Japan for the first time. Last year we did England, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Denmark.
Aviation is a big one for me... Love plane spotting and always playing in flight simulator (X-Plane!).
Likewise, amusement parks is another one. Most of our travels revolve around visiting amusement parks all around the world when possible.
Lastly, beer. Been into it for many years and homebrew as well... Currently brewed batch #119 which is currently lagering (my Oktoberfest Marzen for 2025!).
So a handful of hobbies!

I like woodworking, investing, dog training, gardening, hiking, cooking, fermenting, ebiking, van life, .
Nice work on the table, the wood part is really nice, but to be honest with you I hate river/resin tables. Not my thing. That said, I love live edge benches and tables. I've made a bunch of tables and several benches - walnut, doug fir, cedar, chestnut. Here is my first outdoor bar table, WRC. I don't love the legs, but wanted tall and they are very stable.

Awesome work on the Bar ! Looks like a great place to crack a cold one and shoot the Sh..t .
for how much planning I did it turned out great . My favorite Drum BattleThat's interesting to play for 35 years and put down the sticks because it's "complicated". That is a lot of years to practice and get good at it!
