How are you guys?
I have been feeling lately like I'm constantly hunting for stuff to do on the little time I have free during the day. Yes, I love guitars, pedals, etc, but sometimes I feel like it's "more of the same", if you know what I mean?
I want to get into a new hobby and I was wondering what like minded people (gear heads) are into apart from music and guitar gear?
I'm quite a nerdy person, love tech-y stuff, programming, radios, cameras, games, cooking, etc. And I have been struggling lately to find something I enjoy to do either indoors at home or outdoors - or even online!
I'm curious to see what you guys are into
!
Thanks for taking the time and have an epic day.
Gio.

Although most of the time I just watch Netflix and eat chocolate.
Actually one of the main things is tinkering. Making stuff, mending stuff, taking things apart... A lot of that is music-oriented with pedals and guitars etc, but I designed a bunch of furniture in 2020/2021 which was a fantastic thing to do. I wish I had a workshop and a shitload more time to do that more often.
@Riftamps the Mazda is awesome but what we all really want to see is closeups of the Nova behind you
what I wish my hobbies were:
Fun fact, it's not a GTE chassis but a standard car converted to GTE spec to make it eligible for his championship. Genuine GTEs are both too rare and expensive to risk turning into a race car that can be ploughed into a barrier and written off at any minute.

I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Going to the races. I have now been to 57 of GB's 60 racecourses and will finish the other three this year, plus maybe the 2 in NI.
Drinking beer on the beach is a summer hobby. I’m on the beach now as I type this and it’s almost time for a lunchtime beer.
I really should find something better to do with my time.

I spend all day at work reading in some form or another so I haven't read a book for years. I really miss it. I have a big library of audiobooks but I often just end up falling to sleep unless I'm in the car.
I haven't even played a lot of music lately since I quit my band. Sometimes I miss it, but at the moment I'm very much enjoying having weekends with nothing to do.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
