Treasure hunting and geneology research. Both are rewarding and interesting.

Volleyball 2 nights a week, I would love to play 3 nights a week, but have not found a 3rd group..
I am tempted to go back to porcelain painting, but I really have no idea what else to paint than cats on mugs. Also I have not felt wanting to draw in years.
Outdoors, hiking, or just walking in the forest, which I should do more often.

Love your new avatar picture, @Tazzo!
And along with your awesome list of other hobbies (I hope you start porcelain painting again!), may I also add two others: stocking up on cheese -- and free buckets!
Carp are bottom feeders, and eat almost anything. Some prefer meat that has had a more restricted diet...
did you ever have to eat your words when you lost out on a conversation? nyuknyuknyuk
i'm reminded of someone saying to me decades ago that washing your hair with eggs is proper. have you hard of that one?Better than eating crow! LOL
Perhaps having egg on your face is better? .
I've never heard of those, they might not live in my area or maybe we have a different name for them
.I am in South Carolina. Here is a picture. I think they are one of the oldest species of fish.I've never heard of those, they might not live in my area or maybe we have a different name for them
Nice! I don't think I've ever seen one. According to the range maps they don't live in my immediate area
.You must be West of the Mississippi. I just looked up their range and did not know they were as far North as Canada. Another fun factNice! I don't think I've ever seen one. According to the range maps they don't live in my immediate area
, they can live out of water up to several days and can live buried in mud for about 21 days. You're welcome. Teaching former Students woodworking, car repair, plumbing, electric wiring in my garage.I’d like to hear from all of you about what hobbies you’re into. @seoulsearch I‘m curious what you enjoy doing when you’re not being awesome online.
If you feel up to it, give us your favorite story(s) with each hobby if you have one!
Also, tell us about any hobbies you used to do, or you’ve always wanted to try but haven't got around to yet.
I’ve been playing piano since I was ten years old. So 26 years. I taught myself and I play by ear. Play a song you like on your phone, give me 30 minutes to study and practice, and I can play that song fairly well. I’ve done a few recitals, I’ve recently won over my nextdoor neighbors (which is great since I don’t have to worry about noise complaints), I’ve gone to elderly homes and played classic and gospel songs, I just went to a coffee shop yesterday and played, and the barista asked if they could record while I play, and I got an applause when I left. It keeps me calm and brings me joy, and the “wow“ factor never gets old. I love making people smile with my music. My church has been asking me to play with them and I’m still considering it.
I’ve taken martial arts for years. Several different styles. Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, MMA, Boxing, etc. There was a class for children and my martial arts instructor confided in me that he was about to let one of the students go because he was struggling to follow the instructions. I told my instructor at 15 years old, “No you can’t do that! His mother brought him here to learn discipline, and if you give up on him now, he’s going to grow up thinking that everyone else will give up on him too. You have to be patient with him and help him grow.” A few weeks later, my instructor and I had a contest. We split the children up, and that child was put on my team. He had a tendency to turn directly around and mow down the line of children who were behind him, so I hyped the kids up, made sure that child went around the kids instead of through them after he was done, and each child was to perform a kata twice and whoever got through their line first wins. Well, my team won!
Recently these last 4-5 years I’ve taken up nutrition and gym-related exercise. Couldn’t recommend it enough! Eating healthy improves your mood, mental health, reduces inflammation, gives you extra energy every day, regulates your body, I could go on forever. Currently in the process of going through body recomposition, and the transformation so far has been very impressive. We all need exercise in our lives, even if it’s walking 30 minutes 5 days a week. Keep your body strong and your future self will thank you for it.
I’m a bit of a foodie. I‘m always willing to try new things. I love sushi, Indian cuisine, dim sum, chinese, Mexican, american, Italian, you name it. I don’t fear vegetables, I embrace them. Haha.
I love watching movies and some TV shows. Not a big fan of drama but I enjoy comedies, horror movies, inspirational films, action-adventure, thrillers, science fiction, the occasional documentaries, and I don’t shy away from animated films either. My favorite style of film is stop-motion animation because of the amount of effort that goes into it. Some of my favorite movies are Back to the Future trilogy, the Harry Potter series, The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies, Terminator 1-2, The Titanic, the Avatar movies. Some of my favorite TV shows are Everybody Loves Raymond, Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, House M.D. Some of my favorite comedians are John Pinette, Ben Bailey and Bill Cosby.
I used to play video games a lot and I still do sometimes, mainly just relaxing ones now. I used to be more focused on action and keeping my reflexes sharp but lately I’ve hung up my virtual swords and grabbed my farming tools and live the simple life. Create, build and grow rather than destroy.
I‘ve recently taken up hiking too, no fantastic stories to mention yet, but beautiful landscapes.
Hobbies I used to do? Sports. Mainly soccer, baseball and football. Car accident changed a lot of things.
Hobbies I want to get into but haven’t yet?
- Cooking (Just need a little extra cash until I perfect it) and I can cook a little bit but I want to do more
- Dancing (haven’t had a dance partner or made the time to take lessons)
- Travel (just haven’t really had a chance to do so yet). I’d like to visit Italy, France, England and Japan just to name a few.
- Learning new languages.
- Something a little farther from realistic expectations is I would love to learn how to fly planes. Maybe someday.

Well, I didn't think my cheese ADDICTION and bucket HOARDING could be counted as hobbies
And with porcelain painting, I might soon become a crazy cat lady, only difference is that I would sit in the corner with my catmugs surrounding me..

I don't think I ever properly answered this thread. Anyway, I greatly enjoy birdwatching/wildlife watching, as well as hiking, strength training (particularly squats), trying new recipes, thrifting, and houseplants.
Since I was a kid I have always loved to play music. I am not very skilled, and I lack a bit of a sense of rhythm, but still I am playing piano and guitar, and sometimes some other instruments too. Sometimes I play even in the church.
Besides that I like to take walks when weather permits it. During the summer I prefer to go by boat out in the archipelago to swim and to snorkel.
I also have some dormant hobbies, but I have not had time for them during the latest years.

Howdy and welcome to the forum.
Have you tried making soundtracks in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) yet? There are some good free ones, and some free virtual instruments and virtual FX you can use in them.
I mention this because the computer can quantize notes - snap notes to the closest half or quarter or sixteenth measure - which would clear up that lack of rhythm thing.
Thanks! I am playing instruments mostly for my own joy, and sometimes when needed in the church. I do not record music, so I have no need to edit. Also, if I find the same song on youtube or someone else plays or sings together with me, I do manage the rhythm thing, because then I just follow.
Have you tried using a computer as a virtual FX rack for your guitar yet? It's pretty neat what you can do, without shelling out boocoos of cash for FX boxes.
What styles of music do you like?
