Spare time?
You mean when not working, watching YouTube videos or fixing the car?
(Finges crossed that the current one will be less work intensive)

I do B/W analog photography rather badly, do the processing of the film also, I play way too many computer games, I go on hikes(way too seldom if my belly is any indicator...) I do jigsaw puzzles, collect vintage computers, tinker with 3D printers, paint miniatures...
Never mind the Nuffield 342 with Backhoe I'm supposed to be restoring...

There's no way you have spare time around all of that gadget!

Now I've got that horrible inspector gadget theme in my head. Thank you very much!

Like I say, No, I don't have time for all that.
I've yet to actually get the Nuffield to start. (Fixed the injector for the middle cylinder, rebuilt the lift pump, unstuck the tractometer, then broke a bolt for the thermostat housing... )
I may take a camera with me on a hike 3 or 4 tmes a year...
Haven't printed anything in months, and it's currently not possible to do any painting in my hobby room. IT's full! and there's not even a chair in there.

I believe I have over 200 computers in the attic, but I have yet to complete the inventory, so who knows what's in there...

Sounds like you need a week to organise everything! I couldn't have that much stuff lying about. Most of the stuff in lock up needs sorting and either saving or throwing. Once I get my own place again that can be sorted easily enough.

My attic is pretty much full... And I have an 8square meter storage unit that is rapidly filling up, too.

I've actually started reducing and compacting some. My CD collection is now mostly in MeduaRange aluminium suitcases(holds 500 each in hanging puches. No covers) and I've tossed out crates full of old and broken CD covers. This compacts to about 3.5:1

My CDs are all in their covers at the moment. But not in my own place, so even my CDs and player are in storage. Yes, in that photo of my baby, sorry bike, you can see the end of a cassette box thing. And I have tons more than that.
