RC cars sound fun! There was a hobby store in the town where I grew up, they sold models and RC cars and planes. Iâve always wanted one!
I write/record music. It helps as itâs an outlet for my feelings and emotions and itâs a chance me to say what I want to say.
I also like to hike/backpack. Itâs my me time and a.chnace to become one with nature.

Music, Disc Golf, Gym.
Edit: All of them keep my mind busy. Disc Golf is great to get in nature and explore new courses. If the weather is bad or my timeframe is limited i go to the gym. I know sounds boring, but I concentrate on the movements and get in a meditation like zone while doing it. Also i like to feel my body. Music lets me zone out in a healthy and creative way.

Totally. 
I find it amazing that something as simple as throwing plastic can get you immediately out of your daily struggles and in âthe nowâ. All that counts is if a disc is too flippy for this wind or not. Hahaha. Simple but effectiveâŚ
Edit: I diddnât mean to say disc golf is simple. It is not.
I mean the mechanism how it getâs your mind to focus on other things is simple.

CyclingâŚeither road or mountainâŚthough most of my MTB these days is single track or cross country type of riding. Hiking in the mountains. Driving rangeâŚthough I donât play much actual golfâŚI just like whacking the ball. My oldest wanted to start weight lifting so thatâs gotten me back into the gym and Iâm having a lot of fun training him. Once upon a time I used to be really into building model planes and carsâŚI ordered a couple to build on weekends when I can sometimes have those long and boring lulls of not much going on so I might get into that againâŚmy kids seem intrigued as well as it seems that itâs not really a âthingâ kids do these days. I got a kit out this weekend and my oldest (13) was like, âwowâŚthis is so 1980sâ
Other than that, just random stuff like going to farmerâs marketsâŚshopping thrift and antique storesâŚgoing for walks at sunrise with a travel mug of coffeeâŚcloud watchingâŚgoing to car showsâŚattending random lectures on obscure topicsâŚlive theaterâŚconcerts, etc.

I mentioned earlier about getting back into model buildingâŚon a whim I just bought a 3 piece wooden ship set that has a level I, level II, and level III build. I always wanted to try wooden boats as they tend to be a bit more involved and challenging than plastic model builds and require at least some basic woodworking.
I wonât get started with the first for another couple of weeks as we are heading out this weekend to visit my in-laws, but Iâll start going through the build instructions and plans and get my materials list going this weekend at least.

Decided to sell my car to really immerse myself in the cycling and transit life. The cycling community has been amazing and has helped me not feel so isolated. Not to mention getting outside is amazing for my mental and keeping my mind and body busy.
I also have some film coming this weekend and I am super excited to start shooting film again. I havenât shot since my drinking days and I am excited to reclaim it
