golf, poker, remote control planes cars boats, community involvement, big brother big sisters.... a lot of good ways you can occupy your spare time
word. if you dont know how to play texas hold'em, learn.
saw they have some new variation of hold em called pineapple and crazy pineapple... from what i read you start off with 3 cards instead of two discard one and then everything goes as usually... they say the betting can get kind of crazy
havent heard about it, but i will check it out.
My husband got me into these damn things about 7 years ago. It can get pricey but its a great hobby. I just drive em and crash em, but he can build and customize them now. We got the kids just some cheap radio shack rc's bc they are into it too. Im sure when they are a bit older he will build them their own.
I build train sets

if i had the space i would be doing this right now. got my N and HO scale sitting in boxes in my storage. but also RC cars, chess, working out, stocks, computers
Customize your car... Don't necessarily get ghetto with it, but add things to make you happy. New springs/shocks, maybe reprogram your pcm to go a little faster. Maybe a little bass in back to make your music sound better. I tell ya... It makes it easy to go to work in the morning when you can enjoy the ride.
Unless you're in New York... Then just buy some better headphones for the subway, lol!

Lionel 027 gauge here from the 70s, was bugging out when I looked up what they're doing with today's trains, radio control with computer chips & all, even how they've changed the track.
I used to set up my Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving when I was a kid JUST to be able to set up my train set underneath.
My engine cost $100 back in '76, I see they run about $350 now.
I joined that and all the most popular groups in pittsburgh want payment :/

Had a subscription to this & Astronomy magazine when I was a kid, lucky enough to be knowledgeable when Haley's Comet passed by in 1986, not coming around again till 2062, got out of it though living in NYC, too much light pollution to see a lot, especially if you don't live in a hi-rise.
This, trains & models, RC might be the way to go nowadays OP.
If you're in good shape, learn to ski/snowboard. My friends and i travel the globe year round, to snowboard some amazing terrain. We've also built great relationships with people in different countries through our travels. It's also an incredible workout.

Boxing.
I enjoy mine.
I do meet up in Baltimore. Its fun They usually want payment for stuff that really cost, or to cover dues. My suggestion is do stuff that only involves having a good time. Also look into intramural sports. I play in a skeeball league for fun as well.
