I used to tinker with small engines and do my own car engine repairs, but that's not fun anymore.

I was seriously into film photography in the 70s and 80s, including developing my own Ektachrome and other E-6 transparency films. At the peak I had a Contax RTS SLR and some Zeiss lenses. These days I have a couple modest (very modest) digital cameras, but I'm not nearly as active at it.

I do the computer stuff when I have to (hard drive swap-outs, minor upgrades) but that's also not much fun anymore.

I still do audio tech tinkering. In fact I just got the adapters I need to outfit a couple of Iriver H320 MP3 players with Compact Flash cards in place of their hard drives. I used to be a Creative fan, and I still have a 32GB Zen and a 30GB Vision:M, but Creative used proprietary formats and hardware specific software and it just wasn't fun anymore.

And I do a lot of LP to digital conversions, cleaning up the audio files, etc. Something has to go on those MP3 players.

And reading. I do a lot of reading.
