I've gone my entire life owning at least one pair of skis at a time. Although it's a physical object, the sport of skiing brings me a lot of joy. Could be synonymous to computers, it's the activity of developing|coding|building something that brings me joy, not the "thing" itself.

In a similar vein, my bicycle.

I use it for commuting, transport, and leisure. A good bicycle ride, like a good ski, is magical and freeing, and the object is imbued with some of that.

It doesn't require much maintenance, but it's fun to maintain, as well.
