For me it is fall foliage. This season has been beyond spectacular here. In New England foliage moves North to South so we started fall hikes 3 weeks ago in New Nampshire near the Canadian border. The following weekend it was on the Kancamagus highway. Last weekend it was Mt. Monadnock and this weekend will be wachusett mt. Next weekend will be connecticut river valley and then we are done. We have also probably, excluding drives to hiking, driven another 400 miles just smoking weed and looking at foliage. The colors never cease to amaze me and this year we have the entire crayola collection with even the very rare purple showing up alot and the bright reds showing up later than usual and mixing with the infinite shades of yellow, orange, green and everything in-between, instead of standing alone. Rembrandt has nothing on mother nature.
Last few years I've gotten into stand-up paddle boarding, it's always a great afternoon on the water, and you travel so silently, you come upon things that you could never see in a boat with a motor.
Snow. I miss it here in the south. The house I had in Chicago had a big ass hill in the backyard that I loved sledding (I bought it in my early 20s). I'm sure that if I still lived in that shitty socialist state, I'd still be sledding in my 40s.

We don't have seasons down here in SoFlo - it's mostly hot or unbearable.
When I lived in Dallas there *were* seasons - I kinda preferred Spring over Fall for some reason (I guess b/c I've never really been a cold-weather guy and Fall for me signified the upcoming dreaded (for me) winter; and Spring signified the end of the dreaded winter and yet not hot-ass summer).
I do find the water (beach not lake) relaxing just seeing it - I live in a suburb of Miami which is inland form the ocean about 25-miles - I love it and find it relaxing as soon as I am on the bridge from Miami to Miami Beach and I see the ocean as I'm driving towards the beach.
I’m a dweeb extraordinaire. I love to practice and perform Magic. I love to grow food in my 30 foot by 30 foot garden. I love to do Prepper stuff such as camping, foraging, trapping, shooting and other weaponry, HAM Radio, grow food, water storage and purification, self defense training, make pemmican and hard tack foods, and star gazing while sitting around a bonfire.
Me, stargazing (4 telescopes, used to have more), camping (308 nights in our little trailer), gardening (once had ripe peppers & tomatoes by July 4th - in Oregon),
swimming (naked if possible) 100+ bodies of water and Contra dancing.
Oh gsteph it's not neccesarily the individual clouds that do it for me. More the dark overcast, the kind of mood that sets, it just different. I was out in the Southwest for a while and while they still occurred, it was rare and really made me miss them.
Not dweeby bu definite my wife and kid. Not sure which I love more, but definitely enough to avoid driving drunk and hooking up with drug addicted strippers.
Come now VH-ape. I’m down with you triggering that snowflake crab, skifredo, on the general principle that he’s an asshole crab who has developed a troll cover story of being an asshole lawyer that rips off poor hairless apes while stating that he hates progressives because progressives are elitist snobs disrespect poor hairless apes.
As a rick, I could give a shit less about the underlying politics. I just enjoy seeing the poor sad snowflake get triggered. But you need to relax on this thread. The snowflake actually asked a reasonable question for once and we should probably encourage that. It’s not like poor sad skifredo is really worth any action beyond triggering him and then having a laugh while he writes his semi-literate replies.
To answer the original question: if a rick does it, it isn’t “dweeby”. That’s axiomatic. ROAR!!!
Besides, it is clear that my own personal interests - fucking hairless ape whores, wearing classy suits, driving drunk, and chairing the high council of ricks - aren’t universally acknowledged as badass.
Any of you damn dirty apes disagree? I have one word for you, and it rhymes with schmildebeest. ROAR!!! ROAR!!!
Damn autocorrect. I’m going to go all fucking wildebeest on the Apple engineer that made it almost impossible for lions to use an iPad. Fucking racist apes. Racist apes are almost as bad as zebras. AND I FUCKING HATE ZEBRAS!!! ROAR!!! ROAR!!! ROAR!!!

I have friends in northern Vermont. I'm nearly certain that I'll buy a bug-out loc... errr... weekend getaway up there at some point.

I also can’t get enough sci-fi. Good, bad it doesn’t matter. I’ll watch/read it all.
and stargazing, like gSteph
My parents were antique collectors and I have inherited quite a bit and have some interest. They had some notable collections.
I was a pretty good musician back in the day. Sometimes I think about picking it back up again.
