What "Other" Hobbies Do You Enjoy?

Here is the readers digest version:

I have worked with people In the music industry for the past 33 years. I buy all the "souvenirs" they have acquired over the course of their careers (Gold Records, Autographed Guitars etc) and I find new homes for the ones I don't want. Over 9000 Gold Records to date and counting. You can check out my spoils on the Facebook page RIAA AWARD COLLECTORS.

I have a collection of over 5000 NFL Football games on DVD going back to the early 1970's...many complete with all commercials. I had Hundreds of games from the 1970's/Early 80's (On VHS) smuggled out of the CBS Vaults in New Jersey.

I am an avid Fantasy Football Player. Need to fill a spot in a competitive online draft league? Send me a PM with details.

I have lots of Stereo Equipment that I have never used or taken out of the sealed boxes. Its neater that way.

I collect Homeless (Feral) Cats and try to domesticate them.

In the past....I owned a Baseball Card/Comic Book store in the 1980's located on the infamous Route 9 (Born To Run) in New Jersey.

Wow. Lots of interesting stuff there. No wonder you’re an audio enthusiast.

I'm also into cycling (100+ mi/wk), table tennis (intermediate player), and pickleball (novice). I also spend a lot of time studying personal finance/investing. High-end audio is my meditation.
 
I like cycling too!

Here is one of my road bikes

Boating and fishing over the last few years but I just sold my boat since everything is catch and release here in Tampa Bay due to the red tide problems as of late.
I travel a lots with the wife and have done lots of nature photography. 2 trips to Africa and 2 trips to Antarctica are the highlights. I even owned my own camera store and photo lab back in Marietta Ga. for over 15 years.
I have done the saltwater fish tank and RC airplanes bit. Also dabbled with golf and tennis till I ripped both rotators. I love hobbies......never bored.
Music and guitar playing were my first hobbies and most consuming and enduring.
Used to love playing chess and collecting coins and stamps as a youngster......yep I was on the nerdy side.
 
Walking and still "some" shooting. Use to do IDPA, USAPA, and 3-Gun (Tactical) but the eyes are getting older now ...

It’s a super bike for all terrain and conditions, really nice to ride.

Wanted to have a gravel bike to have the flexibility to ride where I fancy.

The pandemic stopped my martial arts hobby (hopefully it will resume soon). In the meantime, I took up shooting firearms at the range.

I took some sailing lessons before COVID and I hope to resume them in the Spring. Looking forward to some terrific Nordic Skiing this coming Winter.

Golf with a shotgun (Sporting Clays), more of my passion actually.

As a 3rd generation and lifelong railroader some collecting has gotten in my blood, my cigar ashtray I made from a spent locomotive piston and part of my lantern collection .....

I’m always impressed with the sheer size of those locomotive pistons.
