Hobbies and Interests

[Alan]

What do you guys do for fun? Cars, books, anything?

I read a good bit. I also keep my car meticulously clean. I don't know if that is really a hobby but I spend a lot of time on it. Something about a clean ride makes me feel good. I'm getting it professionally detailed this week. I do it once a year.

What does everyone do for fun?

Mine is cutting gemstones and leaving my car dirty for months at a time as the mud on the road to work each day makes it pretty pointless to wash everyday

I get that. In spring I tend to focus on the inside and let the pollen sit. Kind of pointless to fight it.

Used to be a keen parachutist but haven’t jumped in many years. Have a mate in town who also used to jump and were tossing up whether we have the balls to take it up again.
Undecided yet, as at 60 I don’t bounce like I used to.

Smart! I get the concern with aging. It's got to be hard on your knees, but I'd still give it a go.
