Having multiple hobbies and associated projects will keep me as engaged in retirement as I care to be. Slot cars are at the top of the list, followed by yard projects out back (deck, patio, fire pit, etc.), and grilling & BBQ. Plus, we'll do a coast-to-coast road trip at some point. I'll be taking graph paper, notebooks, and a laptop computer along to keep designing stuff, writing up thoughts about projects, and doing calculations as we go.
I've always told my students that play is an important part of a healthy life - whatever it is that captures your attention. I don't consider my (expensive) slot cars toys, but I love playing with them.
