Ive lost the desire to build things I can buy at a reasonable price. It’s never mattered in the past, if I could build it for the same price I could buy it for, I’d build it just for fun. Now, I find myself buying more things than building. There are still things I build because I want them a particular way, but those seem to never get finished

[censored] getting old and “mature” sucks

I've been there for a while.

Yep, I hear that?

I concur

Welcome to adulthood papa pig....now you have more important things taking up your time!

Yep way more time for fun to enjoy everything.

I only mess with things that interest me or are urgent. Other than that I’m like oxner, I call the man. Fortunately I love outside work.

Im a tinkerer, its a disease!

me too, big time

I still tinker......some, but the size of those jobs has been downsized!!

Same goes with fixing things. I paid a shop to replace the rear brakes on my wife's Tahoe today. I could've done it myself and saved $150-200 but I simply don't have the time. I'd rather coach my son's baseball team in a tournament this weekend. The plan is to play all day Sunday and bring home another trophy (ring) and help build more great memories for him. But he is missing a learning opportunity in replacing disc brakes!

Me too................
But, I don't have the tools, I used to have.................

I’m a project idea guy. The really awesome ones actually get started. The really REALLY awesome ones get completed. The incomplete ones remain right where they were left. I may have 100 going right now. This is MY disease.

Maybe try cialis?

Smiling Bob always had the best commercials

That's why I quit reloading shotgun shells. Although I may decide to start back again if the craziness continues.

Part of this Is related to your trailer. But unlike you and others I’m good to go without Cialis

I now call the man more often.

Well, around here the plumbing ‘man’ is just a bit busy. I spent the afternoon fixing PVC plumbing. Here I now sit with blue fingers from the primer and glue, and drinking red wine.

I did finally get the Propane man, the Generac man, and the septic man. Still a ways from being fully fixed here and there.

I’m still building some but I know my limits

Been there done that.

Had a choice today of tearing down a carb and fixing it with $2 worth of new gaskets. Or just buying a new one for $20 and bolting it on. I went with the 2nd option. My HS industrial arts teacher would be so ashamed of me.

Well he is dead by now. He would probably buy what you did now.

A big difference in knowing how and knowing when not to.

that ain't my trailer. It's yours sir.

That last sentence is the key point!
