Target shooting can be very meditative. You focus on breathing, holding still, reading the wind, squeezing the trigger at that perfect moment... yup, this helped me through my divorce. Shame a lot guys get red flagged and have thier guns taken from them when they could be out in nature (best place to shoot is out doors), getting zoned out on putting holes in paper or plinking steel!
Dude. I’m from Texas. Moving to WA. Omg the gun laws here are stupid compared to TX. I could walk in pick a gun. Pay for it and go home with it same day. Here? Most fun guns are illegal or restricted now. And you have to wait 14 days or something. Absolutely abysmal. But there’s pretty mountains and trees, so I like that.
Texas sounds awesome! We currently have a handgun ban in effect, I can't buy or sell a handgun, and the long rifle ban has AR15's unusable and the Government can't figure out how to collect or compensate owners while the Government steals our property. I should retire to Texas!
Arizona is dryer and similar gun laws. Texas doesn’t really have mountains unfortunately but you’d love it. I miss a lot of things from there but I love the beauty here
Or I could do a postcard with a drawing! I also send postcards around the world through post crossing. If I don’t have a postcard the person might like I draw something.
I wish I could learn amateur radio. My big wish is to build a crystal radio. But not easy to optain the parts. Wish someone can just build me one already.
Usually it's running a few miles after work or swimming. But I'm injured right now, so until that changes I like taking out the kayak on the river for a couple hours of fishing. Nice to have different ranges of hobbies for when you're unable/not in the mood for doing your main one.
Cooking, I enjoy the experimenting with new things and trying to be creative when using up ingredients I have at home. It's like a puzzle. Even the chopping and prep work has me in the "zone" often, especially with fun music in the background
playing ETS2, with a low background music with chill vibes, or a podcast or a video on YouTube, driving with the mouse.
Something about looking left and right before making a turn with a lengthy trailer feels so calming.
Finding hiking trails off of the main trails. Walking through them a couple of times. Then trying to jog then spirit through them to build endurance and reflexes.
I‘m an easy person and like playing jokes so much, I always play jokes with my friends, and most of the time they laugh, but of course, there are some embarrassing situations.
One fun hobby I enjoy doing when I'm feeling low is listening to music. It's not something I do every day, but when I'm in the mood, I find it really therapeutic and relaxing to express myself through it.
Picking up my guitar and making music…or noise depending on who you ask.
Roller skating
woah! Thats cool. Do you do it professionally to or just fun?
Just for fun.
Where do you go if you don’t have the ground you need at home?
A skating rink. I don't skate outside. Some skate on tennis courts
I’ve done it once and like it! How does it work socially? Do you just show up by yourself? I only remember going as a kid for birthday parties
Yea I pretty much just show up
Target shooting, but I fell out of it after I had a stroke. Now I do smelting, light blacksmithing, and general tinkering. How about you op?

Pickleball
Making something with my hands or going out exploring new terrain. I don’t care if I’m the last one there as long as i get out and do it
