Aviation. Came in handy in Covid days. We travelled all over the PNW, and safely, over the past year and a half. My only regret was not sneaking in a touch and go at a large class Bravo airfield during the early days when airlines were barely flying.

I fly small planes. Hike in Cascades. (Check this out.) Travel whenever I can. Surf badly. Beach bum it in Cali or Hawaii whenever I can. That's probably my favorite thing after tri: beach, sun, surf, women in bikinis, warm sand under my feet. I play video games. Dota 2, Fallout, Elder Scrolls. I'm making a solar powered robot rover thing, from scratch powered by Arduino. Would like to send it to Mars if I could. Radio stuff. Especially SDR lately. Thinking of rescuing someone's ye olde 12 foot TV dish rotting in a back yard and turning it into a radio telescope. I have an optical telescope, a little 6" diameter, but I hardly get to use it. Light pollution here is nuts.Do you fly in the PNW? I am a CFII in Seattle

Other hobbies?
That implies that triathlon is, itself, a hobby...
Why are you on ST, OP?

I have two teenage daughters that are competitive club athletes. Traveling with them to tournaments leaves little time for anything else. I am getting in a long organized ride in August (Triple Bypass in CO). I haven’t raced a tri since 2015.

SUL multi-day hiking, -40 winter overnight adventures (hiking, snowshoeing, skiing) and mountaineering (I stop at AD). That's where I get most of my fun from.

Just as we are all obsessed with our fancy bikes, there is a sub culture of Espresso Freaks. Its another fun but expensive hobby where high end equipment is more pricey than the high end bike we covet. I have upgradeitis and am about to sale this beauty so I can get and play with something new.

I know your post is a few years old but it’s kind of pertinent to me. I stopped tri in 18 and started playing slow pitch again. It was fun early on but the new scene wore me down quickly. Too much grown men bitching and complaining. I still love hitting but it’s not like it used to be. Now the HR rules are so restrictive that you’re penalized for being good. I played once this year, back in February, then stopped. I started back tri training a month later and I’ve done two races this summer.

Since discovering Inktober in 2018, and completing 31 illustrations in 31 days two years in a row [2020 & 2021], I've revitalized my passion for art; I created 50 pieces in total last year, but things have gone a little 'unfinished' lately
I've written two short books now and I'm working on the illustrations for those

Archery. Been competing on off since I was 5. Sooooo 46 years.
Annnnd if there is anytime left, fishing. I live close to probably one of the best salt water bay systems in the world. Fishing here is phenomenal. Incidentally, its also my winter swimming playground.

skydiving...much easier to roll out of an airplane and freefall for a minute than running, swimming and biking all day...

Motorcycles - I have a 2016 Yamaha FZ07 for fast days and a "rat bike" 1986 Suzuki Intruder for slow days and commuting to work with my son.

Started to do yoga again.

Oh, I also like yoga, it really feels good. And this is a great way to relax, both physically and mentally. I used to spend my free time mostly playing 메리트카지노 games and watching movies, but my wife persuaded me to try yoga. It was a wise decision.
