As a model railroader, this one caught my eye.

Seriously if you enjoy building, get into Lego.

Infinitely better parts nowadays to build very nice and accurate models, or for custom ideas you can get the exact shapes you want.

And on bricklink.com you can buy any part you want in any color you want, in any quantity you need. Its where adults go to get their brick supplies.

What a good Idea! At first I thought they were model cars. The fact that they are Hotwheels makes it so much easier to do!

What would make it better would be a trailer park and a sharknado.

When I first started reading your post, and before I knew what you were going to say about a hobby, I was thinking "This guy should try models or model railroading." I never bore of that. 😀

I did not realize it until recently but it turns out that my hobbies are eating in restaurants, going to nonessential businesses and touching my face.

Have always wanted to do model railroading but don’t have the room to do it right.

Funny, but I pulled out an old Lionel set and started doing the same during this quarantine. Here Is a great website that I found for guidance, tips and some great inspiration - https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/forum/3-rail-forum

I’m actually enjoying this new hobby.

I was always making models from when I was a kid. Just finished a Tamiya M-10 Tank Destroyer. 1/35 scale. Tamiya makes the best model kits to work with.

It’a good time to:
1. check and clean the dryer vent.
2. check for termites under the house.
3. go into the attic to check for leaks when it rains.
4. back up your PC.
5. back up your Ipads.
6. vacuum under and behind the furniture.
