3d puzzles or something if they still make them... model cars/planes (not snap on)

Fly a kite, go fishing

video games

You should setup a 20k grow. Then you wouldn't have any extra time. You would also have all the weed you could ever smoke. :)
 
flexibility training makes little noise and is fun and health beneficial too
followed with a period of controlled breathing
strategies for all interactions possible

maybe you could start doing models

planes, cars, whatever

or you can get one of those small electrical trains
you could get a train conductor hat and be the boss

learn the Alexander Technique. You can spend a whole day just on getting up out of a chair.

Or Tellington Touch to work on the dog.

I like the train idea.
Thomas, Percy, James, Gordon, etc. You could learn all the characters and role play to your heart's content. Build a scale model of the Island of Sodor. Debate the merits of steamies vs. diesels.

Maybe you could go outside and look for a guerilla spot that doesn't get ripped.

Not that I would wish it on anyone, but I hear smack really occupies your time.

You can always go mad and do something crazy like leave the house....

Go to the zoo and pet the pretty stripey kitties, it's great fun :comfort:

shit man. Yeah I guess if a treadmill is too noisy a violin would probably be too. I'm really thinking hobby thing but it cost money. What could I build that would be HUGE out of paper mache? I could do it on the porch and have it be like 15' feet tall. Would need a wire frame though. MAybe not. Then paint and detail it. What would be something really weird to see on someone's porch or lawn? A pyramid? Bigfoot? Would need fake hair. An alien? A giant can of beans or something? Mcdonald's arch? An obilisk? I'm so bored I want to scream. I have NO cable and TWO dvds.

Well I just blew 15 minutes reading this thread. I kinda thought that somebody might actually suggest something worth doing...

I don't have as much time as I used to have but I have always enjoyed working with my hands. Leather tooling is time consuming and can even be profitable if you get fairly good. I started out tooling and doing Tandy kits and as I learned how to tool and stitch better I started learning how to braid leather and rawhide.

And while playing a violin might be a lil bit noisy; building one yourself is interesting, educational and very self gratifying.

There are also companies like Thompson Center that sell kits of replica muzzle loader firearms. I have assembled and hand finished dozens of em over the years, and the leather working and braiding fits with the hobby quite well.
