Lost my big one - playing ball - bp & vball a couple of times a week after blowing up a hip....Hurts like F sometimes when twisted....

 

Now:

 

Bicycling daily with my girls....

Camping out + hiking about when we do....

Gym time.....

Reading.....

Singing.....

Scrabble - when someone good is around for a challenge.....

Monthly travel.....

+ Raising a teen & tween-aged girls.....

Teaching the girls "western" cooking/baking semi regularly....

 

Really   need to do more since the high demand/activity sports have tapered off.....The archery & fishing sound like a couple of good ideas - used to be fairly active with both.....

Older now body a little worn out but use my home gym cross trainer etc.. It helps stay active. I've always believed healthy body healthy mind.  Ride my motor bike on day trips. I have two boys So they are my encouragement to stay as fit as I can. Trips away to Pattaya to blow my brains out and come home missing my home.

I play with my grandson and his grandmother, help support numerous restaurants and bars, ride with my biker brothers, do academic research and writing, and travel frequently throughout Southeast Asia--that is when I am not posting on TV.

I love riding my bicycle around the cycling park like a lunatic sweating profusely.

 

Taking my families dogs to and from the farm, feeding them McDonald's cheeseburgers and seeing my family in laws face when I'm doing it. Priceless.

Metal detecting,

Any good spots here. Was my favorite hobby back home. Had a great Whites land machine and a Fisher for the water. Great times. Just got into the hobby before parks etc. were cleaned out. Now its modern coin hunting pretty well. Hunting at beaches in the water was replentished every summer. Never found the ultimate prize a gold coin.

Is that the Kuma Sutra? please elaborate ooops guess I need a big imagination to handle this one. 

Nah it's referenced jokingly by some that Egyptian athletics is known as a relaxing afternoon nap or just sleeping. :thumbsup:
