Cooking and brewing. It's a process thing, so I can just sort of get into a flow state and zone out.

    I'm a massive fan of stringing a hammock somewhere quiet and reading for a couple hours.

    I also really enjoy flying kites. I live by the ocean, so there's usually enough wind. Over the last couple years I have really gotten into quad-line stunt kites like the Revolution, I have a bunch of them and one just always lives in the trunk of my car for when I want to swing by and have a fly after work.

    Thats a great reading setup! Are there any special books that come to mind?

    There's never really anything I habitually return to, I am pretty much just always reading some different sci-fi of some kind. Currently working on the Zones of Thought trilogy by Vernor Vinge. I finished the first book and was so absolutely ready to plow straight into the second book and follow the same characters and alien species through some new crazy adventure, but was met with a completely different set of characters and completely different aliens, which was a bit surprising. Still enjoying it, though!

    Watching cat and pomeranian videos. I do that whenever I feel stressful.

    I’m into the whole ASMR thing, but more toward the no talking and unintentional side of things. Restoration and…horse hoof trimming have been my gotos lately.

    Also just spending an extra 30 seconds in the shower at the end, trying to get the water to bridge across my ears and white noise it!

    Sitting outside on the carport, with all my plants around me, and looking at the trees.

    Drawing. For me, drawing faces especially. I think it's partly an excuse for staring at (a picture) of a person's face too.
