My wife and I have this habit of acquiring residential structures to 
renovate, not to flip. Currently rebuilding a three story brick single 
family structure from 1885. Tooling, materials and licensed trades make 
bikes seem paltry in comparison. 

We are involved on a couple of other fronts too. We help a young college 
student who's beyond her family's ability to aid or contribute. Read 
Educated by Tara Westover and you'll appreciate how global this 
mentorship is. We also are very involved in a family in our neighborhood 
whom we met while the mom was in med school with three babies at home and a 
husband with the lifelong effects of a TBI. We offer the functional other 
parent often in support of all three of their childhood pursuits and daily 
challenges of family life (boiler quits on 20 degree night) their mom isn't 
able to schedule, attend or do herself. 

Leisure application of life skills for others? I guess so.
