That's one instrument that I regret never learning. I always loved the way that it provided the deep, dramatic foundation for all the rest that was going on in the band.yes, Bass guitar...

That’s how old my husband was when he joined the military. He stayed for almost 8 years. It seems really young. You guys were kids learning to fight for your country.
I know you’re not Canadian but thank you for your service.

Exploring the Creek for miles in both directions. Playing Ball and Fishing.
Exploring the Timber, picking black berries and collecting stuff.
Later I had a Scrambler and Girl Friends. Went thru the mostly usual weekends.
You know 13 to 19 seem forever when you are in them. Things always keep changing.
Just going to school to learn and not get drafted. Then married with children. Whew
Times were a lot different back when.
I can also add caring for the equipment. Learning maintenance procedures. A lifetime!

My main hobby was building model cars. I used to get the whole plastic set. I would spray paint the car body and use a small brush to paint the interior details, right down to the chrome on the instrument bezels. Then I glued everything together. My mother would always complain about the spray paint fumes and the fumes from the glue. Amazing I'm still alive today.
My second hobby was to go through our entire set of Worldbook encyclopedias page by page and learn as much as I could about every subject.
No, I didn't have a lot of friends growing up.

Another Hobbie I had in my teens was learning to navigate using a Sextant and Marine Chronometer.
My dad would bring home charts of the islands near us and I would work out the Latitude (Sextant)
and the Longitude (Chronometer).
Both of these methods are moot now with GPS, but it taught me how to figure things out for myself.
Anyone who ever used a slide rule probably felt the same way, when Texas Instruments came out with the
first personal calculators.

Reading outside of required assignments. I read 19th century Russian, French and English literature, and the Sunday New York Times with my family. Figure Skating on a local pond.
Say! I was also into gluing and painting models. But mine included airplanes, animals and ships. True about the fumes. Yet my parents never complained. Later during my teenage years, I was one of those idiots who placed that same glue in bags in order to sniff and get high. Never mind the clear warnings telling me that inhalation could do serious harm. I often wonder what serious damage I inflicted on myself by doing that. I also had a reading hobby but not as intense as yours.
