This time of year, my wife and I are on our back deck pretty much every day from 4PM to 7PM (or later), and we almost always cook dinners outdoors. (We have a large, shaded back yard that is beautiful and that we love to enjoy).
We read, play with the dogs, entertain friends and family, throw some cornhole, sip some adult beverages..... The wife will pull a few straggler weeds while I bet on some MLB. Our good friends have a 2 year old daughter who loves to play in our sprinklers.
Our backyard is a weekly, and sometimes daily gathering spot for our friends and family, so life is good in the neighborhood and we are always entertaining and enjoying our people.

Ha! There are some new LED's juuuuust hitting the market that will be even cheaper, and run cooler than the stuff out now. I've seen some lab test runs - it'll knock our socks off. Like you know, anyone running an incan torch has no idea the tech out there these days!
Fish and drink Drink.and fish We have 5 strip pits within walking distance of the house. Usually ride the sxs to them though Sit on one of the decks over looking one of the strip pits with my wife and have a few coolie pops Fart around in the shop.
I grill out every Sunday evening. Church sets the tone on Sunday morning. The rest of the day is a bit laid back, with grilling out to cap off the day. Two beers while grilling and one or two with dinner hits the spot. For some reason, my “give a crap” fades away when I’m grilling. Got chops, chicken and burgers for tomorrow.
Cutting winter firewood and yard work. Then enjoy the backyard and mountain views. Later tonight after midnight the temps will be down around 40°F. Shoot whatever gun or bow and whenever I want.
Change into my sweat pants tee shirt and sloppy shoes as soon as possible. Maybe work on some leashes in front of the tv or putter around in the gun room. There's always something to putter on in there.

evenings and weekends around home i tinker in my new shop. still putting it together. probably be done about the time i kick. yesterday wife mentioned that she wanted some shelves built for her office/craft room. i pulled a 1x12x10 rough cut white pine off the stack and planed, ripped, routed and otherwise turned it into a nice shelf unit, including making the shelf brackets and moldings. 7th grade woodworking level project but i took my time and it turned out really nice. after that i sat in the shop door and watched it dump buckets of rain while i sipped homebrew and listened to blues tunes on pandora all evening and communed with nature. other than that i go to my camp every 2-3 weeks and fish, hunt, party and tinker. my entertainment requirements are easily fulfilled with the stuff i have accumulated in the past 59 years.
Still working, albeit from the house these days, (onlyiest advantage of Covid I know of, they let me stay in and Zoom my project meetings over the wife's compromised immune system) still making the company money. I offered to retire and let some of the younger guys take over, the bosses opined that it might be best if I stick around, one of the Young Turks who as ascended said I could work as long as I wanted, if I would just answer the company cell phone on contract matters...might just pay for that bigger tractor I want...
Other than that working in the garden and in my so called shop. Took a cast off oak fire door and turned it into my new desk, bought a new Canon M50 MKII, and built a race horse computer to do video processing and am about to become the TN General Assembly's worst nightmare on Buzzsprout.
I picked up a hardground Genesis no-till drill for putting in food plots on my place up in Weakley County, putter wound up there when I get enough of the womenz...
Need to find a take off stock for a 10-22 to get it set up for the 8 year old and one for the 6.5 Howa to cut down as well...
Work at the property. Wife and kid know Saturday mornings are my time. I'll hop in the mini excavator or the tractor and head out to do work. Yesterday, I grabbed a couple of beers and spent the morning brushhawging.

Spend time with my kids which can me anything from zoos to beaches to playing Barbies. Fishing, shooting, running the dog, reading/learning about topics of interest, bum around nearby towns on a lazy day off checking out favorite gun shops and hunting/fishing stores.

I have a couple of young retrievers in training, one at the MH level and one in basics, so I spend some time training them each day. I do some guitar playing most days. I reload, shoot, and tinker with the rifles a bit. This time of year, I spend a few minutes most days cooling off in the pool. I spend more time than I prefer mowing the grass and keeping up the property, but that's the price one pays and it really isn't too bad since I bought the big 60" zero-turn. I have a lady-friend who comes over on the weekends and most Wednesdays and we do a bit of hanging out and whatnot. She's enjoyable to spend time with and is content to do whatever or nothing at all.
This time of year we have to go to our nearby mountains to chill. We do this 2-3 days/week, go for a good hike then kickback in the shade and read. At home it is workout, dryfire, read and watch my wife cook. Come fall it will be hunting and road trips through May.
I climb and hike. Endurance type stuff. I do a bunch of it. In rough country. I like to challenge it. It makes me feel like I'm livin'. Getting into wild and rugged country is healing and therapeutic for me. It puts things in a different perspective. A better perspective.
Sit by the lake when I can get up there, and something doesn't need fixing. Today I sat in the cool, quiet reloading room, played mad scientist, and enjoyed every minute. Accurate 4064 in 308 Win, and SR4756 in 9mm x 19 loads this afternoon.
