As a member of the National Guard, I guess you can say my other hobby is the military. Between that, work, home and pinball, I don't really have time for another hobby. Since I get paid for the Guard (not all the time I put in, but it generates an income), I guess you can say it is cheaper. Since we live on a lake, we have a boat too, but I wouldn't call that a hobby - more like another responsibility so the family and other people can enjoy boating

Can you see a common thread?

Quoted from aFineMoose:

I'm starting to get into stargazing. For $200 you can get some really nice binoculars and a tripod.

You can get a pretty decent 114mm aperture telescope for that price too, with smart phone/software interface - here is a picture of the moon taken with an 114mm telescope.

With the binoculars you can also do bird watching. I wouldn't say it is a hobby, but we do keep a feeder stocked off of our back deck and get a lot of song birds, etc. We did the oriole feeding for a couple of years and would catch them as they migrated through.

Collecting naval lint. Free and fun.

You can follow in Graham Barker's footsteps...

Quoted from BMore-Pinball:Pandemic got me into on of the best most relaxing cheap hobbies

Jigsaw Puzzles

A family favorite when the kids come home. Someone usually hids a piece to get to put the last one in (ok, it's usually me). Good opportunity to have causal conversations, no emotionally charged topics allowed. Puzzle type varies by who picks it (me, pinballs, drive-ins, Americana, daughters and wife - animals, landscapes)

Had to look up the word, the pictures helped It goes without saying that any hobby that involves bacon and smoked pork can only be described as an outstanding one.
