Music, music, music. I currently play mostly guitar. I like country/gospel, country, and bluegrass.
I used to paint a lot (Bob Ross style), but have not touched that gear in a few years now.
Motorcycles are now out. I like to read about them, but my leg will no longer support the two wheel weight.
Used to fish and camp a lot. After my stint in AK, and catching a few 50# Salmon, a big walleye, bass, or northern just don't do it any more. And I live less than 50 miles from some of the best fishing in AR now. Don't want to dish out the big money for a boat, etc. etc. etc.
I never got into hunting.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
I should have mentioned, my list is sort of in order of frequency with the top three almost daily. Since I retired 4 years ago I have taken a part time job on a golf course that provides me with free membership, carts and range balls. The photography is always present with the high quality of cell phone cameras these days. We do still take serious pictures with some pretty good DSLRs for kids events, weddings, parties, and photos we sell through my wife's crafting business--those are mostly sunrises and sunsets here in the Tx Panhandle. I pretty much ride a motorcycle for all of that with an occasional jaunt on her Spyder to keep the battery charged and fluids lubricating things that need it.
Waterski ing, Boating, diving, drivin the spyder, reading, Long walks with the dog, and the best hobby ever, a good night's sleep... and dreams, and almost I forgot driving my Dodge demon srt........

Black powder marksmanship. I shoot a .58 caliber muzzle loader with the North-South Skirmish Association. We typically shoot at 4" targets at 50 and 100 yards, totally off-hand. It's amazing how accurate these old guns are.

Rescuing and rehabbing old motorcycles - mainly GL1000 GoldWings, church (not really a hobby but part of who I am), riding motorcycles, caring for an aging grand-dog, helping the wife with her garden (someone has to eat what she grows), watching UK basketball (very disappointing hobby this past season). Slowly fixing-up the house for "aging in place". Spyder (and learning about it) is being worked in. Already sold one GL1000 and have a GL1800 for sale to make room in thevgarage.
