What are your hobbies? Genuinely trying to find something new for myself.

Right now my free time mostly goes into watching series and checking trades, and I want to add something that actually feels productive or fulfilling instead of just passing time.

Curious what you're into, and honestly, why you got into it in the first place. Doesn't need to be impressive or unique, just real.

Farming and carpentry.

We have a flock of quail and about 1/4 of land being used for vegetables along with a couple dozen fruit trees and bushes. We have a lot of seedlings that are popping up so making sure they don't dry out has kept me pretty busy lately.

We have a big renovation of an old barn coming up in a few weeks. There's a couple structural beams that need replacing and reinforcement, a wall is leaning, and the whole roof needs to be replaced. Aside from that I want to turn the far side of the barn into a more finished temperature controlled area and section off part of it to be an indoor coop for the quail for when we get crazy weather like -10 degree weather, 110 degree weather or 300 AQI.

I worked on a farm as a kid, I was a framing carpenter from 16-20 and I loved all of it. Now I do computer stuff and it pays well, the farming and carpentry is what keeps me happy. Although people will often tell me to take a break and do something for myself which is funny.
