I played baseball/softball from the time I was 5 until about 2 years ago. Had to "retire." I still haven't found a new hobby. I miss the tourney ball on the weekends with buddies.

My little girl is about to start tball and I'm going to help coach. So I guess I cam say I might be getting back into it in some sort of manner. But if she doesn't like it, I don't know what the hell I am going to do

Woodworking. I "inherited" good tooling.

So since adolescence. No change on the horizon.

Mrs. Füt really enjoys my woodworking skills as well.

I have so much crap from hobbies. I don't necessarily switch, but I'm more of a "jack of all trades" type than a "stick with one thing and actually get good at it" type.

-I've got a drum set in the attic from when I was in high school (I actually played the hell out of that one, but it's not really something my wife would let me pick back up again).
-I've got guitars in the closet.
-Golf clubs collecting dust although I'm not terrible at golf.
-About 2 grand worth of rod and reels in my garage doing nothing now that I've sold my boat and moved from South LA.
-Several guns that are rarely used since I haven't gotten a chance to hunt more than a handful of times in the past 5 years.
-A $1200 bicycle that I don't use as much as I'd like to, although I hope to get back on that wagon.
-Currently have a gym membership and have been working out pretty well the last 6 months. I need to keep on this one though.

F**k I've wasted a lot of money in my life . I'm sure I'm leaving some things off of this list as well.

no switching just adding. Fishing is a lifelong hobby. I have added BBQ and Football as an adult.

One never really switches hobbies. They only add more hobbies.

Never really switched from my core group, my issue is finding the time to do them. I love to play golf, fish and hunt. I've been finding more time for golf lately. Don't fish as much as I want because I lost access to a boat. Havent hunted in three years because Kids and Life got in the way. My three year old assumes I have to work on weekends, because Ive had to do it so much in the last year and a half.

I'll say I play video games a lot less. There was a time when I 100%'d Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas. Thats insane to think about now.

I used to hunt and fish a lot more than I do now but I haven't given it up. I picked up golf about 7 years ago and haven't looked back. I don't take it seriously but I enjoy the hell out of it even when I play bad. I like to cook and drink beer too if that counts

Post college....rec league softball til age 30 or so...running/triathlons(age 27-38)...golf(40-present..age 45). Genetic vascular issues have halted my running days for good. We'll see how long the back holds up for golf. Prefer physical, athletic endeavors vs. hunting/fishing.

If I could just pick one and stick with it, I might actually be good at something. I've always loved working on things so there's usually something torn apart in my shop. Just got our first "puppy" so I'm having a lot of fun training him to do random stuff, our other 2 dogs are old and were taken in as adults.

Others:
-Average Golfer
-Average Kayak Fisher
-Camping (don't do this enough)
-Average Cook
-Guns/Shooting/TacTicCool stuff

I went from stamp collecting and ham radio as a teen (was a real nerd) to golf in my 20s. Took up reading fiction later, then back to ham radio, then astronomy. All my hobbies are expensive.
