Other Hobbies?

Sleeping. Whittling bushings and sleeves and spaces out of steel round barstock on the lathe. Working on my vintage bikes. Reading. Watching OLD movies that I can fall asleep during. Avoiding the news and weather channels. Not doing anything with wood right now; made all the forms for my new front steps and upper sidewalk extension and hand mixed and poured the concrete. Pulling weeds out of the iris beds. Trying to find food that I can eat without it putting me in the hospital...………..more sleep.
 
Ive had a few things that I enjoyed doing over the years. One of the most relaxing was collecting and building 1:87 (HO) scale European fire and emergency vehicles. I have well over 800 of them packed away in my basement. It was something to do back when my wife was working 3-11 before my kids were born.
Now besides the cars I have a second hobby similar to Turbo Zach. No more hunting out here so Im content with poking holes in paper at 50 and 100 yards. After the cars are totally finished I want to buy a nice bolt action. Maybe go to PA and try some long range stuff.
 
Then there is the old H.O. slot car collection that I race with the Jr. Mechanic,

I still have my Aurora AFX G plus and magna traction car collection. Between my brother and I we still have a lot of track packed away. Back in the day it was a lot of fun.
 
Fishing, on my boat or land. Unfortunately not much tim for that the past few years. Also recently started messing with my old rc cars. My biggest hobby right now seems to be home renovations unfortunately.
