Shoe restoration.
Gardening - growing chiles, squash, cucumber, tomatoes, eggplant, blackberries, blueberries (not many this year), persimmons, figs, nectarines, Korean pears, and plums.
Related to gardening, I recently purchased some stuff to put together a new raised bed, and I think I want to get into woodworking.
D&D - I’ve been running a D&D game for the last 5 years or so that just concluded a major arc.
Lifting weights - I recently purchased a Titan power rack, so that’s been great for squats, overhead press, and pullups. I’m trying to get back into Olympic style weightlifting, but it’s been slow going.
Travel - we just got back from Santa Fe, NM. It’s beautiful there, and the food is fantastic.
Also a gardener. Currently waiting for my tomatoes to start producing, we have too much rain and too little sun at the moment. Zucchini and cukes have started producing which is nice.
In terms of fruit trees, my cherry is packed this year. I can take the kids there every day for a feast 😊
My citrus collection is also doing rather well.
I always wanted a cherry tree! I bet that’s really cool for the kiddos. What citrus do you have? My meyer lemon has a few fruits on it.
I got a Meyer lemon, a classic lemon, a satsuma and a lime tree :) all in pots because our winters are too cold for most citrus trees.
The cherry tree is amazing. My strawberries are mostly done for the season, but the cherries started ripening at the perfect time. My kids love going to the garden with me, they know they will be getting tasty treats there.
We’re moving soon and I need to come up with a way to replace the fruit trees from the garden so I’m looking at trees in pots which appears to be possible but has some flaws.
Is there anything you got your eye on?
You guys have hobbies?
I’m running multiple d&d games for both friends and family. My friends are currently playing The Curse of Strahd and loving it but it’s just by the book.
My family just finished The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, which I had heavily modified and plan to release a boom detailing what I did and how it went. After that this group returns to my homebrew game, so…
I need to revive a third game, also with friends, which is their heroes in the same homebrew world as I plan to bring the two groups together for a level 20 finale.
Two different groups coming together in the same campaign sounds so cool! Are they aware of each other?
They are, vaguely. The situation is that two worlds from parallel timelines almost collided and we’re sealed into a bubble plane to keep the catastrophe contained.
One party from each world is unraveling the how and why. At the center is a pair of liches - the same individual from each world - whose phylacteries are each other. If you dint defeat them both in the alloted time, the other lich rises again.
None of the players know about the liches yet, but they do know their name, Zeitounessian.
Very cool. I really like the part about the liches being each others’ phylacteries.
Wow, you people actually have interesting hobbies. The most interesting thing I did last week, was repair a shitty Huawei p10 (which I hate, because you can’t unlock the bootloader). I’ll give it to my mom for her birthday. I know, it’s a shitty gift, but could be worse.
