My latest hobby is one I used to do on college. I have had a fish tank since I was a kid, then had a business servicing aquariums in college to help pay tuition. Then stopped.
Now back into it.
Nano Reef tanks and a African Cichlidn tank.

I lol'ed at full nude. The beauty of this is that I don't have to undress anymore shit, I didn't even go full nude back in the day. Topless with pasties. I want this for the physical exercise of it.
Mrs. CHEEZY is always trying the latest dumb diet and I keep telling her to just dance for awhile every day and burn the calories that way. She loves to dance and there's no doubt it's great exercise. For whatever reason she won't do it.

I remember reading on here where QD was going for a HAM license and someone eles who has one.
Reminded me of an old hobby and one I'm still kind of dabbling in which is building/repairing electronics. Anybody still doing this?
I was an avid CBer and had a lot of friends in the HAM community and I was always repairing equipment and building "boots", power supplies and new fangled antennas. Also grew up building my own R/C gear as it was not widely available like today.
In this day and age, most electronics are impossible to fix due to miniaturization and the availability of parts. I find it's getting really hard to get parts. I still buy the odd kit online to assemble and it blows me away at the cost. I just recently bought an ignition coil circuit, 3.7V - 15KV for $1.39 and free shipping. It would cost me $5 just to buy the rectifier diode alone.

I still do. Partial to vacuum tube radios, but early solid-state equipment piques my interest, too. Mouser Electronics and Ebay are where I find most through-hole components, the rest I scrounge at Hamfests and out of used equipment. Thinking of picking up a knock-off SMD rework station from Ebay to add to the bench. I also have a Fry's Electronics within three hours of the house, may have to do a road trip to check it out.

Sadly the carboys are empty for now. I picked up a 1938 Chevy truck a while back and my extra money and time are being used on it.
And watermelon wine? Your not right in the head, are you...
I ran a bushel of apples through a juicer a few weeks back and made 3 gallons of hard cider. Last week I made a ginger syrup out of 3 inches of fresh ginger and poured it in with some cinnamon and cloves. I'm going to have to do that again. It turned out great. I'll try and do it on a 5 gallon batch next time.

If your ABV is high enough you can freeze distill that and make a decent apple jack.

I've been thinking about dabbling in hard ciders, I've recently moved and the new property has Apple and pear trees on it. What kind of yeast did you use in your cider?

I just used a D47. Pretty standard type. It's not nearly as hard as brewing beer and you can actually blend the pears with the apples to make it strength further. I would suggest a filter system of some kind because mine had a lot of sediment.

There's a product called "Turboclear" that you can add at the end of fermentation. Works very well.
