    There are a couple of things I enjoy that almost fit this thread. I have an extensive rotationof briar tobacco pipes. Pipe smoking done in an optimal fashion entails a lengthy routine of prep, maintenance and care. The tobacco itself has other routines.

    Lately, I've been tinkering with a home music recoding setup. Doing the one man band routine on tape. It's very relaxing to just start mixing different tracks and drum programs together. The bass guitar riffs and guitar chords are actually me, but it's heavily Computer generated everything else. A lot of my setup is open source stuff on a laptop, and I've done this on the cheap and had a great time.

    Quite a bit of gunsmithing, as well as home repairs. Electrical, plumbing, rough carpentry etc....
