I ALWAYS consider eating great food by others a hobby.
Just read four pages of what people consider hobbies, and I'm amazed! Is watching football really a hobby? Couch potatoes rejoice! If I include that, then I have to include all kinds of cooking and smoking food, which I also do. Reading books? Avid reader here.
But do we include sports? Motocross racing in Japan wasn't a hobby, but I got most of my broken bones in that sport. Riding my Panhead Harley on the street back here in the USA was slightly less dangerous. Being an adrenaline junky got me into skydiving for a couple thousand jumps, and my wife convinced me that watching "Sea Hunt" wasn't the proper training for Scuba, so we are both Nitrox certified divers. Rock climbing, snow skiing, bicycle riding are all under the "sports" category, along with rock crawling with my Jeep Rubicon.
We bird watch, and hike, have an inflatable kayak that is white water rated, but we aren't. I collect vintage military rifles and reload because that makes target shooting cheaper.
I have a sport kite, and occasionally fly it when it's too windy to fly rockets. We used to have several aquariums, but they got sold off to make room for rockets. We are totally invested in high power rockets now, but that still lets us hike and bird watch, camp out and occasionally I get to recover rockets with my Jeep. Is mixing propellant and making research motors a hobby or a science?
Making Chainmaille, shooting, hiking/camping, diving, cycling, Anything to escape the monotony of day to day work cycles.
Reading that a little too fast, I thought " why is making tea a hobby?"... Then I stopped and reread it.
Other than rocketry, I've recently gotten into the hobby of endurance running. Currently training for a triathlon in 2 weeks and a 25K this fall. Assuming those go well I'll be attempting a 50k (about 31 miles) next year.
Sounds like a great hobby as it will help you retrieve your rockets.Other than rocketry, I've recently gotten into the hobby of endurance running. Currently training for a triathlon in 2 weeks and a 25K this fall. Assuming those go well I'll be attempting a 50k (about 31 miles) next year.
Cool! I started running several months ago. I'm shooting for a 1/2 Marathon trail run in November. There is a local 50K in May 2020. I might give it a shot if all goes well.Other than rocketry, I've recently gotten into the hobby of endurance running. Currently training for a triathlon in 2 weeks and a 25K this fall.

Be careful as every year people who are in great physical shape die from running. The human body has its limits.
There are no other hobbies . . . Rocketry uber alles !
