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

Many hobbies over the years.  I am 71 now and almost over British sports car disease.  I have owned 4 Austin Healeys, 3000 & sprites, also restored a 1970 Lotus Europa.

My rare coin collecting and selling financed my McIntosh gear 10 years ago.  I have been into audio for over 50 years.

I am also an addicted golfer ( I see a pattern forming, lol ).  I play 3 or 4 times a week all year (South Georgia), maybe more.  My wife is also a golfer so I have carte blanche to play as much as I want.  I am not particularly skilled, but I can break 80 when the stars align.

I also have restored a few homes, including a 1854 Greek Revival with 14 ft ceilings.

Prior to contracting Alfa Romeo disease I also had British sports car disease, my first car was an Austin Healy 3000 about which I did not know when the master cylinder goes out both the brakes and clutch go out simultaneously. I also has the displeasure of seeing my Triumph TR-7 catch fire from overheating.
