Right at this second... nothing much 
video games, and photography right now. When I get another bike I'll get back on the track for roadracing. Come January I'll be spending all my free time in class, clinicals, and driving to said educational functions

So are you my rich friend? Can I borrow or better yet have some money?
Between work, providing education, being a homeowner, etc I do not know what this days off thing is that is being spoke of. :unsure:

When a cup of coffee costs as much if not more than the entire gallon can of coffee to make your own you must be rich if you buy.
Have you ever gotten just coffee at starbucks? It is some nasty tasting crap and it confuses the kids at the counter. I never buy but sometimes my partner wants it so buys me a cup.

Here's the way I see it, and then we'll allow the thread to get back on topic. Feel free to PM if you want to continue talking about it.
I fully agree. Coffee, lattes, even their food is priced high. However, I never go there just to get something and then leave. I get a lot of my brainstorming and idea/plan writing done there. So I may pay $4 for a latte and $2 for a sandwich, but then I spend 2 or 3 hours there 'working'. That's $6 spent to get away from distractions, think freely, and if I want, be social with friends and family. I think it's a fair trade.
Now, back on topic.

In no particular order of importance or time devoted:
Spend time with my wife and kids; study for EMT class; read; play Mafia Wars on Facebook; participate in online message boards, such as this one; watch movies; browse the internet doing whatever kind of research I've been randomly inspired to do.
Not very exciting, really.
I can't currently afford any of my hobbies, which used to include building plastic models (usually of cars or military airplanes), collecting a wide variety of collectibles (stamps, playing cards, Coca-Cola products/memorabilia, Star Wars toys, comic books, and various other assorted types of things), and a few other things.

A large coffee at starbucks is like 2.50, that's about average around here for a cup

They have the nickname of "Fivebucks" for a reason. It costs a "latte" money to order from there.
Some forum members here have stated that their regularly scheduled work hours exceed 80/wk, plus holdovers. Others are constantly mandated. I experienced this on a 24/48 where it was more like a 36/36 to 48/24. Others still work two to three jobs, so they're never home. I'm going to say that these people spend much of their time recovering in bed from work, just so they can do it again.
