I heard somewhere that a man in his 30s will either become obsessed with fixing shit in his house or smoking meats. Smoking meats sounded like it aligned with my interests 
As luck would have it I found a reasonably sized brisket for a decent price. Gave it the ol' rub n' tug with spices and then got the grill ready. I have a nice Weber kettle grill and decided to use mesquite wood chips which I soaked and spread over the hot coals. Slapped my meat on the grill and spent the next 5 hours or so letting it do its thing at 250 degrees, wrapping it the last hour.
I think it turned out really good for my first go. Brisket was mayyyyybe a touch dry, but not too bad and really tasty. With winter coming around I think I found myself a good reason to stay outside and drink on those nice warmer days.

I myself fix shit around my house
I sanded the paint off my old back stairs, replaned them (they were old and a little warped here and there), and then put on some really nice marine-grade varnish, looks tight

Having a house you got just right with everything working your way and all organized is
This is what a lot of millennials are missing with home ownership. Caring about the shit you own.

Bless you and your home.
I bought last year during peak craziness but got a decent price on a place that needs updating. I'm always shocked at how many idiot millennials demand a brand new, soulless house. New builds have shitty layouts and tiny rooms. One day I'll grow my second ball and actually use the cowtools I bought, thinking I was gonna Bob Villa this place right after moving in.

The reason I did a new build was because it was truly custom and I could do anything I wanted. We started with a base plan, and I added a bonus room and about 500 square feet to the layout. The original rooms were small but I added space to my master and office.
The only thing is that once you move in you realize you shoulda done this or that and you figure out things you woulda done differently. I don't plan to move anytime soon but mayyybe I'll do it again who knows.
