Hard core? Not sure I would make the cut anymore. Find I'm making choices that put mortgage and work on a higher priority... example, this morning; not going out so i can conserve energy to run the crew through another humid day outdoors.... would not have happened when it was just me, myself and I. It's now about time , and safety on the job (I like all my fingers)
Find myself fishing through the 10pm-2am hours less and less. And my eyesight, which earned me my nickname in the service and offshore, has been going through some definite adjustments over the last 4 months....need longer arms to see the knots I'm tying...but can see the 5 oh on the horizon.
Doesn't mean I don't obsess. Can support the economy with purchases I wouldn't have predicted even this time last year, ie. kayak, 'nother kayak, 'nother custom wrap rod, 'nother reel used, and a VS. (Yes it's a beauty, thanks Bill, arrived yesterday) And then the plugs and rubber.... You think my kitchen is done? heck the windows are in the garage.......
Now if I hit the lottery. I would have the time to be a complete lulu....but at this time, I can't keep up with some of youse guys
