I am truly wondering if there is anyone besides myself that still enjoys this hobby or is everyone a half-step away from rioting, protests, and revolt? I admit that I have had my fair share of rants so I have worked at finding the things that make me happy and frankly ignoring or moving away from those that do not. I decided to post this since it sure seems like there is a lot of pent up hate or frustrations at best over our hobby in many aspects. Lately it takes me a look at 6 to 7 posts to find a positive over a negative. So what gives? Not enough ozone anymore, prescriptions run out, or just general hate of one's existence?
Tough to say. I know that I work long hours and I want to enjoy my hobby so what about some positives? How about instead of people complaining about old open frame motors appreciating how we still have so much left to appreciate and enjoy? How about instead of complaining about poor quality control praising the stuff that is well made, how about instead of complaining about skyrocketing prices appreciating the ability to get what you wanted prior to large increases? I have been working on that myself and find that I like the hobby a lot more when I do and my spouse is happier with me also.
I challenge others to try it!
