Used to mountain bike a lot. Got into CrossFit and lifting. Need to get some more focus back on lifting again. Got into home DIY/repair, but have backed off with my new place. Getting into oarchery, handgun/shotgun/rifle target shooting, kayaking, and ATVs now. Looking at learning more about fishing. Enjoy boardgames though no one near me plays. And trying to get my kids into any of the above. Time is hard to find between work and chores for any/all of that, but I try to squeeze in some of it weekly. You asked non-tech, but I also enjoy some Zelda Breath of the Wild from time to time; not much other time available for video games. And my wife and I enjoy a couple TV series and I enjoy audio books. Not sure what defines leisure activity vs hobby, but I think they would be similar.

I just finished a short story ~30 pages that I wrote as a gift for a friend.

I also work out about 5 days a week after some time off for an injury. I’m starting to see some of the results from that so I am getting more and more motivated to do that. My goals there are weight loss and strength building. I’ve lost 25 lbs and hope to lose another 10-20 to reach a point where I feel good about how I look.

Similarly, but not exactly the same, I go walking a fair bit.

I also have kids and all of the associated activities that come from parenting.
