But, I guess a lot of money goes to Ski stuff.
What's your other money pit?

Flying with paramotor is my passion.
I was 31kg heavier as now in the first pic. Sunset flight, winter flight and my new paratrike in make.

I think I have one too many hobbies.... Mountain biking, motorcycling/track days, PRS type shooting/reloading and recently flying drones. I guess I can also add peptides

Also in the ADHD train although life got a bit easier with estrogen therapy and diagnosis.
I tend toward crafty things. My closet is full of bins… I try to keep things sorted even if there’s a measure of it. If I can’t close the door I sort and purge. My favorite of late is sewing and crochet.
I design and procure (buy the made design) metal things for work (mechanical design) so using a different material that is just SO different is just fun. Metal doesn’t move much. Fabric, ehhh it depends. And whether you WANT it to also changes.
I just don’t spend much. Hubby bought a surger for a Christmas gift and I bawled. I don’t NEED it but when he didn’t know what to get me. They’re not four digits expensive. But I just make do, usually.
Maybe I need to step up my hobbies lol

It is indeed an incurable disease. The video shows the early stage of my illness from eight years ago.bamagirl26 said:

Hoo boy, the instrument alone was as much as a car, and the bow.... Ain't she a beaut, though? Oh and she has some friends.... Being a professional musician is ridiculous. We're expected to have these things in a job that pays shit for most people. I'm lucky, I won a job with an actual salary.
Yes, I am practicing right now, it's all I do
I am so musically inept it's all I can do to try to figure out how to turn a radio on. In my next life I want some music ability! So jealous.peppystrings80 said:
My hobbies vary over time.
I was in to go fast EV for a bit:
[Imported image pending local asset: attachments-1786645539782-webp.35649]
Maybe some off road go fast or slow (102mph top speed)
[Imported image pending local asset: attachments-1786645697034-webp.35651]
Or on water go fast (81mph top speed)
[Imported image pending local asset: attachments-1786645858688-webp.35654]
I got into photography and spent a minor fortune on fast lenses. 400mm F2.8, my latest purchase was a 50-150mm F2.

You people are a WHOLE LOT more interesting than I knew!

I was a music major for two years… I had a German sounding clarinet (low, full, WOOF) and prof wanted me to buy a French sounding one. Which of course was 2-3k on top of everything else. Which… is a splash compared to strings but YES it’s crazy. The whole “gotta spend $k” on a carbon fiber case or you will risk being seen as Not Serious is… something else.peppystrings80 said:
Double reeds and crafting your own? A c k.
Glad you found a good place. I dropped out because I couldn’t see paying for school loans on a teacher’s salary. Now I’m trying to get back to it in various ways.
My wife and I never got to travel as kids so we make sure we get to travel as much as we can now with our kids.spanky2026 said:And I have been to exactly zero of those places.
That's a cool hobby! How far is your longest flight?skaylife said:
Hell yeah, two wheeled vehicles rule!rixsternaz said:I think I have one too many hobbies.... Mountain biking, motorcycling/track days, PRS type shooting/reloading and recently flying drones. I guess I can also add peptides
Hell yeah going fast is rad! The picture thing has frustrated me sometimes to the point where i give up and delete my post!woundcarping said:
We went to Ireland last Thanksgiving. A /few places were closed in the offseason but it was still GORGEOUS. More castles than you can shake a stick at… I’d say there’s maybe more castles in Ireland than barns in Iowa. Add it to your queue.Mochizuki0124 said:
Holy moly, those are gorgeous! I predict you'll make back your investment (and then some!) if you keep at it.spanky2026 said:
Our money pit is traveling. Since we both retired we have been on several Viking and other cruises. Timeshare Resorts, Europe, Alaska, Romania, Mexico, Etc.
