The daily prompt asks – Are there any activities or hobbies that you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
When younger I had a stamp and coin collection but gave those up many decades ago. My son and I had the hobby of going to the pistol range, but we changed our positions on owning handguns and stopped that activity a few years ago.
I used to ride a motorcycle for a few decades and I miss that activity. I used to play a lot of games and chess when I was younger. I haven’t played games in many years.
My friends and I shot a lot of skeet when younger. We just went to a skeet range a year ago and it was a blast and I think a few of us might do that each year now. It’s something we took a 45-year break from.
Unfortunately, I lost interest in playing basketball. I’m looking forward to rediscover that love again. I lost interest in the arts when I was working so hard in my career but luckily, I’ve rediscovered my love for them and actively pursuing many of them again now.
Having activities and hobbies is a good way to feel alive and stay healthy. Pick up a few more things and feel even better.

I gave up riding a motorcycle when I moved back east and wiped out on the sand that hadn’t been cleaner up in the spring.

I had some close calls but never went down. What did you ride Dan?

This was over 40 years ago Mike, It was a Honda Hawk (400).

Nice, I remember the Hawk. I started with a Suzuki 250 twin and then went to a Honda Shadow 1100.

That Shadow was a nice bike.
