What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?

Hello,
I was curious as to what other Hobbies or Interests do you have that also take up much of your time, energy and money or is Audio the only one for you?
Being a car enthusiast is definitely my first passion. Always reading about new cars and lusting after some classics.

For me, besides my interest in building a Audio System in the past few years, I am also a Car Enthusiast and Amateur Photographer (actually I hate using that term, more like a photo enthusiast because I consider myself a novice).
All 3 Hobbies have taken much of my time, energy and money. Sometimes I look back and think, wow, what have I done?
Could have saved all that money and time.
So I guess I should list my gear if I am talking about other hobbies:
Cars:

2016 Mustang GT 6 Speed (weekend car, a few modifications) and 2018 Subaru Forester XT (Daily Driver). Obviously both are performance oriented.

Camera Gear: Nikon D750 with Kit Lense, Nikon 50mm 1.8 Lense, Tamron 14-24MM 2.8G
Thnx

vivisection...mummification...alien communications...petty larceny

OK, none of that is true. The truth is so boring:

1 - I walk 5 miles a day as fast as possible. Ran that or more for decades; now it's walking. Used to swim 2-3 miles/day (that was then).

2 - Music every waking hour: usually streaming classical interspersed with headphone audio of many different genres (I have 7 headphone amps and 8 or 9 headphones...it's not a passing phase)

3 - Streaming video content (4K blu rays & Netflix) on a huge OLED TV. I've always been a fan on high quality visual narrative, and we are the new golden age of that

4 - And writing...anything & everything. I make my living as a writer, but even when there's no work, I write for other reasons. It' what rat psychologists call "consumatory behavior" (ie, do it because it feels good)

Hobbies that I've enjoyed over the years have included audio (since about age 14), motorcycles, mostly dirt bikes, photography (film), hunting, shooting, flyfishing, woodworking, have always read, but never thought of it as a hobby, probably most seriously for the last 20 years my family genealogy, and collecting American art pottery, both antique and new. Oh, and lastly, run-on sentences.

If it has bullets, I’m in.
If it has wheels, (two or 4, engine or not) I’m in.
If I might be risking my life at some level, I‘m in.
If I’m on stage, I’m in.
It it’s heavy and I have to pick it up, I’m in.
If it tells time, I’m in.
If it’s with my wife... I’m definitely in.
If it makes some kick ass music, I’m in. Pretty much sums it up.
