...DH is the retired one and what he enjoys about his retirement is the freedom to make the rounds of all the thrift stores and pick up things that need to be rescued. It's mostly electronics and crap from the 60's and 70's. He also enjoys shopping on eBay for all kinds of things.
Lately, he's been acquiring various Raspberry Pi components. These are very clever, very small computer components. At least the stuff is small...
Most guys have a hobby. As a fellow electronics enthusiast, I will have to say that this is less expensive and messy than restoring antique cars, building hotrods, etc... It also compares well with woodworking, metalworking, etc...
Some women have a hobby of making quilt or embroidery. Some are into weaving and have a loom.
It's not really "stuff" that one owns to enjoy the ownership passively, but something one works with to build or maintain a skill, or a knowledge. So, go easy on your hubby.
