It was super fun for about 2 months. now they are all packed up in storage.
As I have gotten older, the one thing I regret (but had no control over) was my attraction to women. Any attempts in having a relationship with one has been nothing but a complicated, stressful exercise in futility.
I feel like I could have accomplished, and enjoyed, so much more without worrying with/about them... whether it be hobbies or otherwise.
For me it was the opposite. I had many conquests and many long term relationships but I always wished I could re-do my 16-26 yrs of life and take advantage of the ones I skipped because i was in relationships :)
One hobby that never suffered was home computers and my love for the TI-99/4(a) which was my first computer.
Over the past 2 yrs I've collected:
1. a full TI with expansion box, 2 drives, modem, sketch board, and about 20 modules and an official TI cassette recorder.
if it has tires or tits, you're gonna have problems.
That almost sounds like a tagline.... :D
Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. I'll be using that at work in a meeting promptly.
That's the thing about buying things for hobbies.. Sometimes they might be for a little while and then you don't really use them much. Before buying something now, I've started to ask myself in many cases if I picture myself using it for a while.
pussy is pussy. nothing beats being single. i wish i was single again.

For a while my sons and i were r/c car'ing and dirtbiking every
weekend. Now Mine is the only working rc car, the older son has no time for me or his younger brother, and the younger son is into fortnite and girls so the onlyaction his dirtbike sees is when dad starts it once
every two weeks to keep things fluid.

I think I'm going to start going to the horse track every weekend and drink highballs and smoke cigars. that will be my new hobby.

I built a sweet "call of duty zombie" wooden fort for my 6 yr old in the back yrd... he never uses it.
And that chill 14ft john boat has sat for 2 yrs now, cuz the kids don't enjoy fishing anymore...

I had one of those when I was younger, and still have it. Back then, we
had an old color TV set we hooked it up to, and used an off-brand cassette recorder from Kmart. About the only two fancy things we had then were a speach synth and an Extended Basic cartridge.
Over the past 2 yrs I've collected:
1. a full TI with expansion box, 2 drives, modem, sketch board, and about modules and an official TI cassette recorder.
Within the past 10 years, I have collected an expansion box with one floppy drive, a Hitachi monitor, the official cassette recorder, and a few extra carts. The box came with some modules in it. The one I really wanted was the one that arrived DOA.
I played with it some after I got the expansion box, but have not fired it up in probably over a year now. It is sitting on a desk behind me.

There's risks with anything. For example, I've only used my GoPro knock off camera once in the last 8 months, but I'm planning on taking it out for some serious video shooting on Sunday. But it only cost $40, so I'm not too fuss
Spent more on drones, but I want to explore how I can use that technology. First drone was a cheap "practice and learn to fly" drone that takes good vi in some circumstances, like when stationary, adjusting height only or panoramas. It's not so good when shooting while changing speed or direction because of the lack of stabilisation on the camera (no gimbal). But, still, it's good to practice with, and if I kill it, no biggie.

My best buys are sports related. A good set of track spikes will get a LOT use, guaranteed. They're more likely to be retired as "backups" and "traini spikes" than actually wear out, even after a couple of seasons. But my need are evolving. My newest pair, bought 2 months ago seem to be a huge step up and I may consider another upgrade to a more aggressive pair in a year's tim One has to be careful, but I'm in such good condition, I can safely use the more aggressive models.

I'll second that motion.
It's one thing if you're into it for a few years, but if it's something you use once or twice and then store it away, that's when it probably wasn't worth spending the money on..

Why not sell it? At least then it wouldn't totally go to waste.

Track and field, I'm a sprinter. :D

We're going to need pics (with you in them) to make a proper ruling on "amazing"... just sayin' :)

sounds good, but then it might not be wise to be seen at the track with someone named Hustler.
I now run (in age group 50-54 (Masters) or 50+ (AV):

My friend in highschool does tri's all the time. I haven't run
seriously since probably about 1994... In fact i don't think i could
even run a mile now without having a grabber.
Its funny when i started running with the distance guys to sub in/out
for thei r 4x400 team, they tried to get me to go sub 50s but i HATED
the 400 and 52 was the best I could put out. However the football team
worked out near the track and their coach got wind of my 100 and 200 times/splits and asked me if I wanted to play rb. I always liked
football better than anything but wussed out and stayed with track
despite pulling a 4.6 40 on my first try.
there's already laws against peeping on people and violating their privacy.
it's not illegal to videotape someone on their property if you are on YOUR property. i've done it with my shitty neighbors.
Re: Hobbies?
It's one thing if you're into it for a few years, but if it's something
if i dont use something for six months and it's not a seasonal thing, i toss it.
