Dave, chill man. Burn out is something I know well. In writing I took almost a year and a half off from the magazine thing. Writers block was terrible and you can only say something about something so many times in so many ways before it's boring and a chore to get motivated to do. I had to walk away from writing for a while. Your good, very good. A vacation from the craft would be a better route. Lock it all up and forget about it and go fishing. It might take six months or two years but the urge will return, trust me. It will be mighty expensive to start from scratch again. Collect old stuff for a while and increase your personal plug museum's inventory. I put it all away for the spring summer and fall and just concentrate on fishing itself. Building plugs is for the wintertime.
Dave, reconsider and forget the knee jerk reaction when it all gets too much to just chuck it. Just put it all in storage, you'll see.
Peace bro, take a deep breath and relax.
