I used to be big into cars, but they got too complicated, expensive, and I just need something that works reliably, and I don’t have space for a project car. Also I think new cars are way too expensive, but I still like seeing the new tech and what different manufacturers are making.

I used to shoot and reload ammo multiple times a week. I still have everything, but it mostly collects dust. I go skeet shooting maybe twice a year and deer hunting for a week. Besides also getting pretty expensive, the majority of people I run into are, shall we say, not my type of people these days. So I typically don’t want to spend time around anyone at the range. My club membership is like $30/yr, is 5 minutes from my house, and I can bust clays with my brother now and then and make sure the deer rifle is sighted in, and that’s good for me.

I still enjoy watching histories of weapons and ammo development because I learn a lot of world history and see some cool engineering. Most GunTubers also suck though.

I follow a lot of music production and guitar things to see all the new gear. I only ever learned the basics of guitar and bass, and now I play piano and the linear layout of things makes more sense to my brain. Guitar has by far the coolest gear and gizmos though, so I still check out all that stuff. I’d like to check out all these amp modelers, but I don’t own a computer, so there’s that. 😂
