Not a problem, hit me up.

PC-based sim racing would be my primary other hobby. Just offline against the AI though. I kind of get more enjoyment out of simply driving the various cars than I do out of the competition aspect of racing.

I do a bit of âsimracingâ offline too, as the competition gets in the way of driving the car 
Not particularly fast though⌠Automobilista2 and the various âformula classic/retroâ cars are my current go-to sim at the moment. Love the sensation of speed Automobilista 2 gives in VR, and it runs smoothly on my rather old i7-3770k/1070gtx gaming boxâŚ
Anybody follow F1?
I really want to get back into microscopy, being I canât do much in the way of astronomy here. got a line on a late model American Optical Series 10 trinocular plan-achro with phase contrast for about $750 CAD.
What do you do with that microscope? Do you take pictures or just look at things?
One of my other hobbies is DJing. Thatâs a dark/industrial techno set.
I look at thingsâŚexpand my knowledge and world.
and I want to do something called stereo photography, where I use all three optical paths and create photoâs that look 3D.

What sort of things do you look at?
Oh, another person with seldom used astronomy gear. 
I have a 10â Dob and three refractors that I havenât used in probably close to a decade. The only exception being the 2017 eclipse when I set up one of the refractors with a solar filter.
wellâŚI canât use them because where I live is perennially raining or just cloud covered. so I will turn to something I can do indoors.
plus my grandkids are being homeschooled, so I can ejumicate them while I explore the micro-verse!

@A_Jedi This is my first season watching the races as they happen. Was recommended some highlights on Youtube over the spring/summer and got into it. Whoâs your fav team/driver?
But I also like smoking, watching interesting stuff on youtube, documentaries, gaming, football (yes, its football, not soccer. american handegg thing is a different sport 
), long walks

It varies. Usually I root for whoever isnât winning because F1 goes through phases of dominant teams and that can make things boring. Probably my favorite driver is Alonso. Mainly because he ended Ferrari and Schumacherâs dominance in the 2000s. I really wish Mercedes would get rid of Bottas and put a better driver in there - heâs not even close to Lewis so itâs a runaway championship.

Ya not much of a Mercedes fan they win too much lol. My fav drivers are Max and Daniel. Itâs hard to root for a team since it seems drivers swap frequently. Really interested to see how Racing Point does next year with Aston joining.
Ferrari at least made it interesting the past few years. Too bad they were cheating and still failed lol. That team is a mess. Has been during most of its history.
