I'm is the same boat Chad. In my case I just don't have the money or inclination to try to do all the stuff. I have to be more realistic about what I can do.

yep, we need to get it running for you. I can relate, nothing has gotten done on mine in a long time.

It used to be I had more money to put toward these hobbies, and more time to work on them.

I am not sure what happened.

It's amazing how much more I got done on my projects 10 years ago vs. now. Crazy thing is that back then we had 1/2 the money we have now, but 10x the free time!

You're right Chad, the house\kids\stuff list somehow just grows and grows every year. Who votes that we go back in time for a week or so and enjoy the easy days?

Just wait till you get older and you have back pain- can't see or have an enlarged big toe or something-- anything to take motivation away from projects-- it gets harder and harder
