Multiple choices are allowed, and it's 'private'.

Cameras, cars, boats, golf... let's see what's popular here on TRF... besides timepieces :)

Motorcycles, Cars, Cameras. I picked music for going to concerts. I guess that's a hobby.

Yes, very true 330ci and you're right as i VERY MUCH enjoy watching birds...

(friendly humor) ...if we're using the British 1970s terminology.

My middle son refused to believe cows were real until he was about 5 because he'd seen two people in a cow costume as a toddler.

"Cows aren't real, dad!! They're just humans in a costume!"

I've heard that yelled so many times I can't count.

Your post reminded me of this

Running (trail running, marathons + ultra distance), swimming (long distance for triathlon), hiking.
Reading, I try to read at least an hour a day. Cooking is also a thing I very much enjoy doing.

PC games, been playing games since early teenage years, am 29 now and still play daily with my high school friends.

Good for you. I used to love the game. Played to about a five, but got to the point where I no longer had time to practice, and my game started dropping (way) off. After that, it was becoming more frustrating than fun, and haven't played now for more than a decade. Keep telling myself this is the year I pick it back up, but the sticks are still sitting there.

Get back out there!

I try not worry about scoring any more and focus on the good shots I hit during a round. There is no better feeling than hitting the perfect drive, striping an iron, executing the perfect chip or sinking a long putt. That's what brings me joy now and keeps me coming back.

I can’t vote since there is no “tinkering in your garage while indulging in cervezas”.

Boating is a close second though.

Ahhh yes. Of course you're right. That's an obvious one...

All kinds of sports including cycling, paddling, chess, hiking in the Alpes near me, flying, sailing, and swimming. Then there is watching the NFL and attending soccer games in my home town.
