Fishing is one, but it is not one of mine.
I would call BBSing a hobby. I am also interested in Model
Railroading, but it has been a while since I felt like I had the money, time, or patience to do much with it (for me it seems to take all three
at once).

There are currently 507 messages in my Dove-Net Hobbies area.. This might not be the most active sub-board on Dove-net though. But I'd suggest re-adjusting your scan pointers with your QWK account on Dove-Net so you can download the past messages in this sub-board.

in some areas if you are in a certain range of an airport you can not have a drone.

About a year or 2 ago, I heard the FCC now requires people to have a license if they want to fly a drone over a certain size. And you have to renew the license every year, I think.

I registered my drone (a DJI Phantom 3) for $5. It's valid for 3 years.

I don't think spying on neighbors would be a commonly expected use case for a drone. That probably falls into being a peeping tom, which is a separate category and could be done in other ways besides using a
drone.. There are plenty of people who would want to use a drone for aerial photography, which (as far as I know) is not illegal in and of itself.

That's why I think it will get more difficult to operate drone's legally in the future. I feel they make it too easy to "spy" on people. If I had a drone I could just fly over my neighbors back yard whenever I want right?
I've got a few uses for a drone. One of the more interesting is a friend who builds very detailed acale model RC ships. Would be good to get some aerial photography when he sails his ships for his YouTube videos.

Well if you're going to ban drones for that, then you could also ban binoculars, telescopes, using ladders outside, etc.. Seems like a fairly small thing to ban them for, and if people are going to do that, I think there's already laws against peeping on people and violating their privacy.
you can NOT shoot down a drone.

For me it was the opposite. I had many conquests and many long term relationships but I always wished I could re-do my 16-26 yrs of life and take advantage of the ones I skipped because i was in relationships :)
One hobby that never suffered was home computers and my love for the TI-99/4(a) which was my first computer.
Over the past 2 yrs I've collected:
1. a full TI with expansion box, 2 drives, modem, sketch board, and about 20 modules and an official TI cassette recorder.

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. I'll be using that at work in a meeting promptly.
That's the thing about buying things for hobbies.. Sometimes they might be for a little while and then you don't really use them much. Before buying something now, I've started to ask myself in many cases if I picture myself using it for a while.

I had one of those when I was younger, and still have it. Back then, we
had an old color TV set we hooked it up to, and used an off-brand cassette recorder from Kmart. About the only two fancy things we had then were a speach synth and an Extended Basic cartridge.
Over the past 2 yrs I've collected:
1. a full TI with expansion box, 2 drives, modem, sketch board, and about modules and an official TI cassette recorder.
Within the past 10 years, I have collected an expansion box with one floppy drive, a Hitachi monitor, the official cassette recorder, and a few extra carts. The box came with some modules in it. The one I really wanted was the one that arrived DOA.
I played with it some after I got the expansion box, but have not fired it up in probably over a year now. It is sitting on a desk behind me.

There's risks with anything. For example, I've only used my GoPro knock off camera once in the last 8 months, but I'm planning on taking it out for some serious video shooting on Sunday. But it only cost $40, so I'm not too fuss
Spent more on drones, but I want to explore how I can use that technology. First drone was a cheap "practice and learn to fly" drone that takes good vi in some circumstances, like when stationary, adjusting height only or panoramas. It's not so good when shooting while changing speed or direction because of the lack of stabilisation on the camera (no gimbal). But, still, it's good to practice with, and if I kill it, no biggie.

My best buys are sports related. A good set of track spikes will get a LOT use, guaranteed. They're more likely to be retired as "backups" and "traini spikes" than actually wear out, even after a couple of seasons. But my need are evolving. My newest pair, bought 2 months ago seem to be a huge step up and I may consider another upgrade to a more aggressive pair in a year's tim One has to be careful, but I'm in such good condition, I can safely use the more aggressive models.

seriously since probably about 1994... In fact i don't think i could
even run a mile now without having a grabber.
Its funny when i started running with the distance guys to sub in/out
for thei r 4x400 team, they tried to get me to go sub 50s but i HATED
the 400 and 52 was the best I could put out. However the football team
worked out near the track and their coach got wind of my 100 and 200 times/splits and asked me if I wanted to play rb. I always liked
football better than anything but wussed out and stayed with track
despite pulling a 4.6 40 on my first try.
there's already laws against peeping on people and violating their privacy.
