I build things. In the past 3-4 years I've built a small sail boad completely from scratch, turned a school bus into a RV, 90% of the way through remodeling a house, starting software business and I'm rebuilding the engine on a mini cooper with my son. He wanted that as his first car.

I work a full time job in addition to that and I spend 1 hour minimum doing some activity with my son every day.

After 50+ years of this tempo, I'm starting to wear out a bit.

Can't say I've been in either of those places.

Getting married, no kids, but hiking, working out, cooking, video games, kayaking (when we can), and just got into Jeep offloading now that it's almost fully paid off.

I fish as much as I can. Bow hunt. Work out 3-4 days a week. Picked golf back up recently.

Checking in with two under 2...
Prior to kids my wife and I tent camped, hiked, and traveled a lot.

After kids, I've made improving the lawn my main hobby.
I'd love to play golf again, but five hour outings on weekend aren't practical right now.

Others: Cigars with friends (less consistent now), reading, trying new wines.

I just wondered if the reference in your name was to Blue Ridge, Texas. We played them in high school football. We also used to drive to Blue Ridge for a great chicken friend steak.

Play basketball every weekday morning from 5:30 to 6:45. Go home and help get kids ready for school then off to work.

When I was raising my kids coaching baseball was my hobby. I love the sport and enjoyed coaching. I knew it was kids playing so I told my parents we were not protesting anything.

Now I play pickleball and slowly fixing up the yard and house.

Too many probably.

Golf (1-2 times a week) and collecting sports card/memorabilia are probably my main two. Travel, working out, hunting, and gardening as well. Hunt for some rare bourbons when I can and forge knives. Used to mountain bike and play tennis a decent amount but haven't had the time for them.

No kids on our end.

34 y.o. single dad to a 10 year old daughter. I'm a pretty damn good musician. But playing anymore seems like work vs. fun. Other than that, I like to drink beer and cook food.

-cooking/learning about new cuisine: have always had an interest in it
-video games: been a gamer since the atari 2600
-Fishing: dont do it as often as id like unfortunately, no boat dont know anyone with boat
-Weight/strength training and nutrition: in the gym 5-6 days a week at least hour long sessions. Really love it. i used to meditate but this kinda has replaced that as it serves similar purpose but active

things id like to get more into or start
Target shooting: always enjoyed going to range when i got chance
Golf: just seems fun
maybe some structured combat sport/discipline: although at 42 the time for that is waning quickly
learn to play piano
