What hobby did you get into over the past year?

Stocking an apothecary.

Got a lot more time in on the piano and spending more quality time with Mrs. Moonlight.

Improving my english

Virtual Reality in my simulator. Flying, Racings and space travels in Elite dangerous - A 1 to 1 scale of the milky way galaxy.

Watching Military flights on ADBS Exchange. It has been a real eye opener and fun. By learning some of the patterns, I've seen some of the leadup/behind the scenes things that go on before things pop.

Been really interesting watching some of the air activity going into the Ukraine and the surveillance activities around Taiwan.

Seen everything in the air from U2, B52's down to the special big wig planes in and out of DC and where they go.

Last year I started my first real garden, which I had planned just before everything shut down and there were shortages. so I had seeds and materials ready. It was ok. Deer destroyed the corn and zucchini and some kind of disease got the tomatoes ... but I learned a lot and already have beets, lettuces and peas growing happily this year. Fingers crossed.

Birdwatching. I got birdfeeders which I LOVE. They were my joy in the winter. The bird feeders are, to date, the best treatment for my seasonal depression, and I've tried many.

Lots of new houseplants are thriving in here.

And geneaology research.

I've been working from home since March 15, had plenty of time here.

I have been very busy building and playing guitars, but my new hobby since the Covid-scam is playing a new instrument that combines rhythm and melody. Here's an example from someone who can really play the "Handpan":

Knife making. Built an entire home forge and associated tools. Great fun and lots to learn.

Sneaking dirt bikes onto golf courses..So much Fun while it lasted.

We’re also nearly ready to pull the trigger on a travel trailer. I’m a little concerned about towing it (not a fan), but I hope it’ll be worth the stress.

But does your knife keeeeeeel?......lol.....

Home renovations, poultry, poultry coops, irrigation systems, and guitar/bass.

Gardening for edible produce and the Chinese language.

I'm hoping to try home hydroponics for fast grow greens and fruits this summer.

Also reading about cultivating local microorganisms in your soil to improve quality and yields.

Investing in the stock market and crypto

Quitting my corporate drone job and relocating off the grid to the remote mountains of Arizona (actually, joining extended family who were already set up there).

We are prepped and ready for the end of the world!

Became a Social Justice Warrior for the oppressed Asian American community. Kamala only made it to Vice President we can do better and make her Empress of Mars and blast her of in muskmobile.

I started painting.

I always liked art and drawing when I was a kid. But I worked in computers and spent so much time focused on that...so never could focus on sitting still in my off time doing something like drawing...too similar.

I paint water colors and oils.

Becoming a severe hopium addict until recently, but I’ve become a recovering one at least.

Now gardening.

WTF happened?

Cultivating Gourmet Mushrooms indoors via liquid Mycelium cultures.

Cool. did you build your own antenna or buy? any recommendations?

This is the next hobby I’ll be getting into.

I want to photograph other people's miniatures and dioramas and make them look big.

Steady hands. Dang those are cool.

I bought a new telescope to perform Astro photography and I also became deeply into Taoism.

I wouldn't call them "new" hobbies but definitely been picking up a lot of old ones again. Guitar, keyboard, political action groups, civilian action groups, prostitution... (disregard that last one, probably counts as more of an employment opportunity).

I've become a blacksmith. Not a very good one but I did make the spoon, fork and knife I eat with. Also the hook my jacket hangs on.

mystery books and shows, never was into them before

Singing, I hadn't sang as an adult, I couldn't well when I first started, I recorded all the vocals for this today:

This is arriving Friday. My first drone but I've been flying copters for a few years. It's a hybrid drone/copter.

What happened to your WIP thread with this song? Did you delete it or what?
