Your hobbies/hobby ideas

I collect books on archaeology

Book collecting is a great hobby. You can buy a lot of second hand hardcover books online for relatively cheap. It comes in handy too when you need to look up some obscure that might not be found online.

I like board games a lot. Having a huge collection of board games can leave you prepared for eventualities like stagnation at a party or a bunch of yelling, screaming kids visiting your house. There are some really neat board games on the market these days.

"yelling, screaming kids visiting your house"? I have a cage for them to fight in. J/K, though there were times...

My spawn hasn't seen fit to provide the wife and me with grandchildren to spoil rotten, so that game stuff is laying fallow.


I read. I hike. I do woodworking, woodcarving and coppersmithing, and repair and/or maintain my remaining vehicle (a '70 Chevrolet 3/4 ton truck that I use to pull our travel trailer) that isn't newer and under warranty. I have a lot of old texts from university that, when the urge strikes me, I work an old math or physics homework problem or two. That urge strikes me less and less as I age. I also perform most of the repairs and remodeling of my current home. I just finished a ton of work on my mother in law's house so that we could rent it out. Being retired is not a state of rest, believe me.

Also, surfing the internet. Big time mouse potato.

Don't get into any of my hobbies. They are expensive to get into.
