What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?

Quite a diverse group here. Add another golfer to the group. As in with Audio, I find that in all of my hobbies the buying, selling, and collecting equipment is as important to me as the activity.

The rest of my hobbies have all faded. These include bicycles/bicycling which pretty much ended in my late 30s. I am 62 now. Photography, I sold all of my film cameras a few years back and just gave my Nikon D 5200 SLR to my son. I still have a few smaller mirrorless SLR’s. Don’t even take them on our cruises and travels anymore Take all of my pictures with my iPhone 8. Playing and collecting guitars, I have always been a terrible player, but was a pretty good collector of electric guitars. Now all have been sold except for two. I rarely pick them up anymore.

 There have been others as well, but Audio and Golf are my only remaining passions. Age and health have diminished the golf a bit. Can’t play as often as I would like and although I hit it pretty good for a guy my age, my distance pales in comparison to the younger guys. Still score pretty well though. I enjoy our pets, especially walking my crazy four-year-old Pomeranian. My dogs have also gotten smaller over the years. I agree with those who spoke about family. I join my wife for her passion, yard saleing on Saturday mornings when the weather is nice. Friday nights are still out to dinner and a movie. Also enjoy attending concerts with my friends.

Hello!

Interesting.  Age 82, competitive runner in National and Local age-group running events under the NSGA rules (National Senior Games Association). Division one track at Manhattan College in 1950's. One national gold in 10K run in 2013, another a bronze in national 5K in 2015.Five medals in NY State Games running events in 2019. Taking aim at National again in 2021 assuming old body still in shape...

So, running is one hobby. Another, I play Jazz piano badly (take lessons), play at a non-discimiational audiences at Church functions, etc. They always ask me back!

Audio of course. Hold four patents in loudspeaker design, the entire Joseph Line of speakers my design.  My license agreement with them expited in 2005 and at that time I retired. Do some restoration on vintage McIntosh for Audio Classics of Vestal, NY.

The correlation factor between high-end audio and Porsche's seems to be strong with this group! 

Definitely cars for me as well (1965 Mustang convertible in the garage). Wine and food are probably a close second to audio. If I could find a way to work with wines, it would be the dream! Lastly planes and travel (#avgeek) 

Actually, just looking at my social media feed, it's all of the above and Airedale terriers (we have one)... and that's about it.

I spent a lot of time running my sports cars and sport bikes through Deal's Gap's 318 turns in 11 miles, as well as winning a few regional SCCA regional autocross class championships.  My watercraft race team, (7 SeaDoo's, 1 Polaris, Two Yamaha's, and two Kawasakis)  spawned a young rider who has won a dozen or more national and world championships.  Interestingly, my boy chose 505 as his race number, because it looks like SOS from the shore.  Our future world champion chose 911, which he still uses.   Also, I study and write about philosophy, astrophysics (as a hobby, not as a dedicated professional), religious contradictions, and especially Sociology of Mental Illness, i.e. Why are some behaviors and beliefs labeled as insane in some cultures and not others, e.g. religion?   As a audiophiliac, I wonder why some people are so insecure in their choices of equipment that they totally obsess on minutiae, rather than actually enjoy listening to music?
