Use to rebuild and customize 4 wheelers. I had lots of banshees and blasters. Don’t have the time to ride them so I moved on to shooting competitions for my primary hobby.

I am starting to get back into hunting as my kids are now old enough to get tags. As a side project I am building a Toyota 4Runner for a hunting rig. I have plans for several camping trips to scout some areas. Planning to hunt black bear and help my kid fill her first elk tag this year.

Wow, so many. Basically anything outdoors. Hunting, fishing, camping, off-roading, hiking.

I used to restore muscle cars (Chevrolet and Mopar). My back cannot really handle it anymore.

I also used to be a HUGE sports fan, football and baseball both college and pro. I also used to be a racing fanatic, traveling to different events all over and spent untold hours watching on TV. NASCAR, Indy, Formula1, NHRA, IMSA. ALL sports are dead to me now.

I build 1/35 scale armor. I got back into it a couple years ago and spend way to much money and time on it.

A Sturmtiger is my latest victim. Coming along pretty good.

Making primitive weapons.

Playing primitive flutes. This is about 2/3 of my collection. I don't have room to display them all.

I have a new bass flute currently on the way from Portugal, but this was my latest acquisition before that. A flute with a scale from 17th century Japan:

Woodworking.

Some of the 41 shutters I've made. I'm currently making 8 more. Very slow progress, though. It's a multi-year project.

Started off with auto-x about 20 years ago. Got tired of breaking things and joined the army.

Picked-up action pistol sports 7 years ago, got out of it 2 years later because my unit's op tempo really hurt my training so I started learning how to barbecue.

Started taking my truck offroading at a few parks here in Texas on the weekends, got tired of breaking stuff and built it into a cheap overlander. I much prefer that now.

Picked- up fishing this year and hunting last year. I'm really enjoying both. It's just a shame I decided to start fishing in January lol.

Long story short, camping, hunting, fishing, shooting and barbecuing.

Building "plastic panzers" (mostly 1/35 scale armor and armed soft-skins). Yeah, like at least one other poster here, spend way too much time and money on this one!
Home-brewing
Collecting, rebuilding, and using Wild-Heerbrug stereomicroscopes (primarily for continuing primary research in aquatic invertebrate organisms and entomology) - photo-micrography
Camping and Hiking w/ emphasis on National Parks of the lower 48
Four-wheeling in my restored Pinzgauer 710m 4x4 military cargo truck
Rebuilding my houses (recent projects include near-total gut and interior rebuild of one house - new floors, plumbing, electrical, ceilings, windows and doors - for my daughter to live in, and a total rebuild floor-to-ceiling w/ new tile floors, wood ceilings, rebuilt
walls, electrical, plumbing, and cabinetry in a bathroom, utility / hobby room, and laundry-room, and re-wiring my 1200 sqft basement / garage / shop, in the other)
Cooking (sadly, followed by too much eating!)
Reading techno-thrillers
Refinishing old furniture
Helping others with any problems or questions that I might have something worthwhile to offer on
Enjoying the usual do-nothing, sit-around and dream life of a retired professor and research scientist when I don't have anything else to do.

Guns themselves are not a hobby of mine - but learning how to run them is!

My uncle taught me how to tie flies, he was obsessed with fly fishing. Even built custom rods back in the day until Orvis etc started offering lifetime warranties on their rods. They were 5-10k if I’m remembering correctly and this was back in the 90s.

Haven’t touched it since he passed, booze cigs and fast living in his youth. He lived life on his terms I suppose, but he’s missed by many.

Lot of hobbies. Mostly related to outdoors, but my mack-daddy jam these last several years is chasing Spotted and Redeye bass in moving water.

Guns are icky, m’kay.
Other than that woodworking, chainsaws, cars/trucks, basically regular guy shit. Never got into motorcycles because my dad banned them in house when his best friend died on one. Before that when I was really little they had a biker gang of Army dudes. I feel it really stunted my hobby growth, I like motorcycles but not growing up riding them I just said forget it.

Chopping firewood.

Seriously, I fucking love it. When I didn't have a fireplace, I would go to the local wood dump with my mauls and split rounds, then leave for other folks. I would do this everyday after work. Wet, dry, softwood, hardwood I hand split it with a smile. Except Eucalyptus, fuck that noise, might as well chop concrete.
