I think this is considered a hobbie. I play competitive in a mobile esport called Brawl Stars. Also love videogames in general. Just started to learn a bit of JavaScript from a mobile app-I really want to learn programming but sometimes it just gets so tedious xD.

Canoeing, camping, fishing. Canoe local rivers usually once a week, with two trips to the boundary waters each summer. Work out 4-5 times a week.

And every Saturday I work in the yard
Pick up the dog do
Hope that it’s hard

I started learning the piano in October, using an app.

It has been a lot of fun

A couple of coats of Watco Exterior oil 2-3 times a season, then a final coat at the end of the season.

Nice! That’s not bad at all. How many days on the water each season?

Usually 10 days over the two weeks in the Boundary Waters, and at least once a week on the St. Croix river from late April to late October depending on ice-out and the first hard freeze. April is a bit iffy depending on the amount of snow we had. River can get kind of high and fast. Fast isn’t bad but since I usually go alone I have to paddle both upstream and downstream when I go.

I have been dirtbiking for years. Like throwing it brings me a lot of joy. I really enjoy that it gets me out of the house. The thrill of exploring mountain trails in the high country of Colorado is almost second to none.

Just read the first 30 or so replies and realized how long this thread is lol. I’ll read the rest later.

Yoyo is my main hobby right now. Besides that, I play video games and I play guitar & bass. Other hobbies include begleri, ThumbChucks, balisong, cardistry, speedcubing, lots of little finger dexterity things like that. I’m pretty bad at all of them. I also have an Etsy shop making paracord stuff, I really enjoy weaving paracord into leashes and stuff like that.

And yoyo string making has become a whole separate hobby, lol I started because my favorite string shop closed but it’s quickly become as much fun as yoyo!

My Instagram used to be @wolfe.begleri but I got so into yoyo that I had to change it to @badwolfe.skilltoys since I have other interests :rofl:

As for non-skill toy hobbies, I enjoy running. My wife and I ran a half marathon last year, we’re out of practice now but we really want to get back into it.

sleep & drink water

I take my sleep hygiene seriously, nothing less than 8 hours on the reg - I’ve been drinking water exclusively for about 3 years now

Zero caffeine (soda, tea, coffee) and 2-4 beers annually makes me the :sweat_drops:water man:sweat_drops:

That used to be me, but I’ve been hitting the caffeinated pop pretty hard for a couple of years. But I’ve been all water for two weeks, and trying to get back there. Thanks for the motivation to keep going.

Crikey that’s really impressive! I drink a lot of water every day, but I drink a lot of other things too. Water is great though

I see there are a number of fellow board gamers on here! I mostly play with my girlfriend. Some of our favorites are Innovation, Valley of the Kings, Nemo’s War, Spirit Island, Legendary Aliens, Eldritch Horror and Chronicles of Crime.

I’ve been into bodybuilding for a long time (another common yoyoer hobby). My girlfriend and I won our Natural Pro cards a couple years ago.

Our other main hobby is pickleball. It’s a great mix of strategy, skill, power, speed and coordination (individual and with your partner). Most of all, it’s extremely fun and addictive!

My most recent hobby has been modding old Nintendo Game Boys. Backlights, new shells, prosound, just a couple fun things like that.

I’ve been into Homebrew on handheld systems for a while, too. Primarily PSP and PS Vita, I’ve always found that world pretty interesting.

Of course, with the previous two, videogames have also been a big hobby of mine. I love the retro games most of all, I have a big stack of OG Game Boy, and NES games taking up way too much shelf space in my room.

My main hobby/job these days has been music though. I’ve been playing trombone for about 13 years, and guitar almost as long. Trombone is the moneymaker, and guitar is my side passion. I almost enjoy tinkering with my electric guitars more than I enjoy playing them haha.
