What? I said I would like to have a project of some sort, but not having a nice place to work on it or store tools/parts is why I don't.

Shit I wish I had your problem.  I have too many hobbies and NEVER enough time/money.  To think of the money I could save.......

If I had a garage I would definitely be toying with something automotive related. Living in a townhouse with only parking spaces has really just killed any kind of want to have a project.

I promise its a lot of fun fixing up an old motorcycle when all you have is a parking spot.

Careful what hobby you pick Polcat, that's how people lose their DINK status.

I'm going snowboarding Sunday with my brother in law. I usually go once or twice a year but would like to get more into it. Where are you going?

House with a garage is coming within the next year.

I'm trying to hold hold onto the DINK lifestyle a bit longer!

I said that for 15 years. Then, in my late 30s, some switch flipped in my head and I spent two years talking my wife into it.

Definitely better off money/stress/time wise.

My primal instinct to help continue the destruction of earth by breeding took over.  I want more kids even after 1 but I know I wouldn't have time for anything else so I am fighting it.  Nothing better than spending time with my son sometimes....sometimes it's hell.  Sounds like racing  Big Grin

LOL, yours is still an infant. give it 3 or 4 and everything ramps up to 11.
