This global economic debacle we are all currently in has probably put many members into shelving or mothballing their hobby. I had to do that for a time back in 2010 myself and Thank GOD I overcame the problems and enjoy being back.

Since having my 7th kid, the family, work and competitive pistol shooting has taken over. Compounding to that Australia's stupid knife importation laws has pretty much ruled out Spydies from coming into our brown land with any ease :mad:

Java checks in from time to time.
NASA keeps me busy testing and researchin' electro-chargy aero-spacey stuff. Fortunately Javascript works in the same branch I do and we can plot and talk Spydies when we need to. Might see how a Manix stands up to some 3-axis acceleration one of these days. I also keep regular contact with Samo and his wife, Michelle, and we are in the early planning stages to take a bicycle trip across the US in a couple-three years. (Of course we'll be packin' plenty o' Spydies)

Well Brother it's not so much the spending of the money as it is exploring new products>> i.e. like checking out some of these newer blade steels, revisiting older models in new Sprint runs. However most any hobby is going to cost you something either in time or money or both. But this global recession we've all been in for the past 2 to 4 years has taken it's toll on many of us economically. I can tell you though that I've been doing a lot more trading of Spyders I've had for a while instead of buying a lot of new releases like I used to. And I've been looking for used Spyders and other premium knives in pawn shops, flea markets, garage sales and one's being discontinued at sporting goods store.>> yeah I won't deny that my hobby has changed in that respect but I'll probably never lose my love for it.DCDesigns wrote:Can spending all your money really count as a hobby?
