Awesome pics!
My wife says that my hobby is collecting hobbies.
Electronics has been a lifelong hobby, with audio and amateur radio being the two most active subsets. I made a career out of this hobby. I have a decent electronics shop and enjoy building and fixing stuff. I am currently restoring a B&O TT and Yamaha cassette deck, both of which are in the NY MOMA permanent collection. I just finished a 9.4.6 Dolby Atmos theater.
Aviation has been a great ride. I soloed at 17, got my private license at 18 and owned a Grumman Tiger for awhile. I have instrument and muti-engine / complex aircraft ratings. PPMEL-IA. I am not active or current. I also turned this one into a profession along with electronics, working on everything from audio systems for corporate jet aircraft to airborne collision avoidance systems.
I love the outdoors. I am a hiker, backpacker, alpine touring skier, and downhill skier. I love canoeing and kayaking and try to get in at least one river trip every year. I go on a fly-in fishing trip every few years with good friends I’ve known for 40 years. Kelly and I bought a camper van and enjoy seeing the US national parks and other open lands. We have an amazing legacy preserved for our enjoyment.
Astronomy is another life-long interest. I dabble in astrophotography and have a telescope I drag out from time to time.
I don’t tho k I’ll run out of fun tho F’s to do anytime soon.

You need to head up to Wichita KS as they have The Great Plains Transportation Museum. https://www.gptm.us/
so many great railroad sites / museums throughout the country. Interesting of the Wichita site, the Saddle tank engine shown appears to be one used in the Anthracite region of Pa back in the day.
