For the past year I have been returning to modifying my Kia Sportage and going madly off in all directions on 2-10 day trips that always result in a few more changes to the Sportage RV.
This type of trip has been my inspiration for years in a variety of vehicles. As an employed person my trips were usually confined to weekends, and holidays.
For the past 4 years I have mostly been learning to live with the lingering effects of a head injury.
If there's a good side to this, I now have all the time in the word to modify my car and travel, as well as the disability benefits to pay for it. The big limitation is that I work a lot slower than I used to. I can only work a few hours per day and that requires a lot of breaks.
Camping in and from my car requires very little setup. Most times I can pull into a place, set up my folding chair and call it home.
For now my hobby (that is the topic) revolves around the evolution of my current vehicle, my travels and thoughts about future travels and consideration of moving my whole life into a larger vehicle and taking the show on the road. So far I haven't narrowed the choice between a truck and trailer or a single vehicle. There is still lots of time.
I'm finally getting to the point. When I look at pictures and floor plans of RVs and trailers I always start with imagining what I could remove to install the cabinets and drawers with all my LEGO. This has probably been the greatest therapy since my head injury.

I have so many hobbies that I don't know where to start. The primary one is bass fishing, but that has had offshoots at different times, like tournament fishing, running bass fishing tournament groups, and lately, videoing my fishing. That latest off-shoot has also evolved into learning to edit video and make Youtube videos. Devising ways to get more creative with camera mounting for the purpose of taking more interesting "footage" to edit from is almost another hobby in itself.
The other major hobby, which I have yet to get good at, is woodworking. I have a LOT of woodworking tools in a 12x27 shop. Usualy, this would start to be the tie of year when I get into this hobby. That brings up the fact that my hobbies tend to be seasonal.
Hobbies tend to cycle for me...I'll be all obsessed with one, and then I'm not, but sooner or later it will probably come back. These hobbies range from making beer, to making plastic baits for fishing, to writing, reading and painting. Bicycle riding was a huge hobby for me about 6 years ago, and lately I've been feeling the need again...but it's about a month away from getting pretty chilly here in Maine, and I'm going away for the winter anyway, so it won't happen this year.
One hobby that I restarted last spring is road trips... I love taking road trips! In fact, my plan for next summer is to build a really lightweight, pop-top, slide in camper and take a long road trip to the Alamo, and come back to Maine via the south and east coasts. I'm thinking a minimum of two months for that one. It could be longer though... as of next Wednesday I'm retiring again so time should not really be an issue.

Growing plants and fixing stuff.
Today I received a packet of "Matts wild cherry tomato" seeds, can't wait to start some plants going for the winter season.
Also alternative dwellings, as you would find a mini-farmer using. I enjoyed ranching in my younger days & still like to fish though have given up caring for hordes of fuzzy creatures now in my olde age.

I also started to learn more about firestick these days and cool features it can offer to a random customer. https://www.firesticktricks.com/pvr-iptv-simple-client-on-kodi.html this article was a huge discovery for me, cause with this thing i can stream tons of good live channels.
I've already posted to this, but I forgot a hobby that I've been revisiting lately...baking. Since being here in Puerto Rico and having way more idle time than I have ever had, I've been baking up a storm. Pies and muffins mostly. I actually have a blog on my nephew's online magazine.

Right now, it's leather work. I've got a piece cut to make a holster for my other hobby. I have a Springfield XDS Mod.2 that needs a holster. I want to do it so much I built a special, collapsible table for my van. It's relaxing, quiet, and I'm in to all that cowboy stuff.Metalartist said:

Electronics !!!
I love designing circuits and the complexity of it.
Repairing failed electronic devices gives me a sense of satisfaction, challenges my mind and pays bills as a bonus.
ebikes have become quite popular and my knowledge and experience mesh well with their use so I have one and riding it and exploring places quietly is also a fun hobby.
RC aircraft also.
