That's fine. Shoot me a pic of about a half dozen notebook pages and/or pop the lid off half a dozen of the long white boxes their in and take a picture with some of them visible. That can give me a huge amount of info.
What past hobby do you miss?

Had quite a few. Local dealer in Union City bought my entire collection. It was just sitting collecting dust so I parted ways

Into baseball cards? I picked-up a box at a garage sale 5 years ago of what turned out to be late '80s cards. One of those "buy the lot" deals with no idea what might be in the group. I'm not a collector but thought there might be something in the set of interest and it might kickstart me into the hobby; there was: a Billy Ripkin "F-Face". From Maryland, this one stood out to me and made it all worth the trouble. Others in there too, like a couple Griffey rookie cards. I searched the ones that I recognized and a random sample of 30 (attached pics).
If you're interested, I'm a new member getting back into the hobby. Could be an easy exchange. I'm curing and cycling rock now for last month; RSR 250 delivery next month; planning to start stocking in earnest later in the year.
When I made the spreadsheet the pics are from, I indicated there were approx 4,000 cards. The random thirty was for the most part all the work I put into looking through that set; there could be some standouts. Not sure if I kept all the "paperbag cards" or not (ones that were simply stacked in a big paper grocery bag) but the ones that were originally in binders I kept. Theses have been sleeved and in albums from day-one by the original collector I suspect.
See spreadsheet screenshots.

So....do you miss all of those? or, are you able to squeeze time for any of them?

I started building and racing custom nitro RC boats about 15 years ago. Raced trucks for a while too. Got out of it 6 or 7 years ago. My daughter is now almost 8 and loves rc cars so we bought a bigger one. Got a traxxas slash.

I remember the moment I realized my marker setup was worth more than my car.
Paintball was good fun.

I do miss playing paintball. Wish I kept some of my markers. Had a custom round body AKA Merlin and a custom AKA Excalibur. Still have my regards/tanks/hopper and protective gear.

My last marker was an Eclipse XSV SL74 (with the team based in Modesto, I couldn't go any other way). Shorty composite bottle and (I forget the name now) a short reg on it. When tucked, only my barrel went past my shoulders. I played front and that small profile was worth it.
