Hobbies? What keeps you sane?

[Rob MacLennan]

I can't remember if we've had a thread like this before, so what the hell. Especially during the current times we need something to keep us from going stir crazy, so what hobbies (other than riding) have been keeping you sane? My hobbies (arguably) make me look somewhat less than sane, to the average person on the street, but they help keep me on a somewhat even keel. Bit of chainmailing/jewellery making, bit of leather work. Some other random stuff...

I too have gotten in to this as of late. I'd say since about Christmas, I've won about 10 or so on Instagram.

Other than that, I've recently started growing organic microgreens.

Mediocre photographer, gardener, hockey player, motorcyclist, handgun/rifle/clays shooter…..but I enjoy them all.

Is tinkering considered a hobby?

I tinker with bikes, my old sled (pictured at a Guinness World record attempt), and bits of wood (lighthouse for the pond I finished this winter).

I've also started brewing my own hard cider - not so much a hobby as a source of untaxed alcohol.

I like motorcycles.

I was at that world record event, got caught in a freezing mist riding back to my buddies. Lots of neat old iron there that day

In St Marys? I was thinking our three old Kawi's was almost the entire vintage collection. Did you order the official participant document? Kind of a neat memento.

Yeah it was in that area, No i was down to support the group of my buddies out of London that was entered. I seen some older sleds that day. Rode from just west of Kitchener to get to the event.

I think they could have picked a better location for the event, The track or field was to small

I like motorcycles.

will you eventually sell your BMW and get one?

As for me...do kids count? LoL

I would be interested in one of these for sure if you sell them. Let me know

With more time off than usual, I bought some painting supplies, but haven’t opened them yet. My life, pre working 2 jobs to travel, used to engage in more visual crafts, took photography part time in college too. Would like to get back to it.

reality of my hobbies are working out at home, binge watching horror and comedy on Netflix/prime, online shopping, and attempting to train the budgies.
