Computers/servers/networking in general. When I was a kid I liked playing with electric stuff, I recently kinda picked that hobby up again, but more the electronics side. I want to dive deeper into it and get into power electronics. Power supplies, inverters, etc. Like once I get better I want to get into the really big stuff like multi kw output. Basically a lot of the stuff I wanted to do as a kid but had no money or resources for, now I can do. So even solar and such too.

Coin collecting, ham radio and playing with my cats.

Not really. If I ever get to that point, please kill me.

Computers, obviously. Just built another a few months ago. Which I game with primarily. So gaming included, with consoles too.

Hiking, I have hiked thousands of miles, in many states/countries. We just got a new Osprey pack to carry our 5 month old, that can also carry food, water, etc. Has a kick out stand so the pack will sit up by itself with him in it, how things have changed. Pretty excited about that.

RC cars. From the Grasshopper to the E-Revo. I enjoy working and playing with them. They mimic real vehicles and its fun to tweak them, upgrade them, and get the kids involved.

Sports, still play sports with the kids or friends.

Like everyone else, Computers - from the time i got my first Vic-20. I'm actually in the process of restoring my vic-20, C-60 and Amiga 2000.

Aquariums - for as long as I can remember, I've been into marine biology. I have maintained the same salt water reef tank for over 30 years.

Robotics - I've mentored my son's robotics teams for 6 years. We recently started developing our own team/robot in hopes of entering the RoboGames competition next year. School robotic teams are fun in an innocent and educational kind of way, but battling other robots to the death is on a whole other level.

That one right there is enough to occupy any one person for a lifetime. It never gets old. How you find time for things like card games is a mystery.
It's just practice and getting over your fear of not writing the perfect menu. I love themes.
