Are you near areas where you can go fishing? The manual stimulation of fishing can be very therapeutic. I spend lots of time working on broken cars and just about anything that is broken. I don't have time constraints so I can spend many hours on repair jobs that are not worth the time to most people.

I hope to spend much of this next year building a house. I built a small mountain cabin a few years ago. Again, the time I spent on the project was much more that would be expected. I learned lots during the year long project. I did the plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning and everything except the roof. I don't trust my brain to keep me safe on a roof.

Repairing/restoring cars can be done on a much smaller budget.

If you are near any fly fishing opportunities, you could learn to tie flies. It can be a low cost hobby.

My best to you.
