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

The best thing about the SARS-CoV-2 virus is not having to commute to work. Three more hours for listening to music and closely monitoring Prime food delivery windows.

Before I forget, for all you road bike enthusiasts, remember to use Helium canisters in lieu of air pump to shave precious 12 grams off your riding weight.

Oh my, the time of my life and the funds available did have some impact on what I was "in to" at the time. To list a few,
Luthier made Archtop guitars.
Good wines from CA. and Bordeaux.
Biking. I have done all of the old former railroad track trails in Wi. and biked the majority of Door Co. Wi.
Most things Chicago, esp. Jazz bars.
Modern Architecture
Modern era furniture from Hans Wegner, Charles Eames and more.
Computers, to an extent.
When I owned my business I was very into giving back to the community and enjoyed helping many that needed help, not a hobby but a major interest.
When I was more into traveling, I enjoyed art museums, mostly those with modern art, like MOMA, Lousiana north of Copenhagen and others.
Photography, from the old Nikons to more modern digital.
I did have a few nice cars, Porsche, Lotus and others, but the Formula Fords at Road America were the fastest...and cornered the best.
But in my adult life my children and other family and friends have been my greatest interest.
 
Good thread, and enjoy the responses. And I did spoil myself with a few nice watches...which my sons now have.
