Mine is a ham radio operator, he also teaches basic electronics to new hams a few times a year (former communications teacher at one of the local community colleges and 20 year Navy Vet in electronic teaching). We do the St Jude Marathon and a Christmas parade as a couple (he operates his ham gear and I sit and give moral support and hot coffee). We are both DIYers, currently in the process of doing his ancient bathroom and putting in a new kitchen stove which is requiring cabinet modifications. He tinkers with cars too.

He can do the grill thing and make wonderful waffles.

My hobby is quilting, a lot of it is for charity purposes along with quilts for my family members.

I like power tools and am learning to use them, makes it an equal opportunity thing as I sure lack the muscle power to do it otherwise.

My dad is a ham radio operator. He’s been doing that since I was a kid. (He still is impressed that I learned the phonetic alphabet just by listening to his and his buddies’ call numbers.) He always does the marathons and parades around the Pittsburgh area, too.

We cover a lot of things on this list. Most of these hobbies just don’t go out of style. They are skills and qualities that are more valuable than people realize.
