Trent,
Like you I've put aside Planes several times but always came back,, was heavy into motorcycles (Dual Sport in District 37), then R/C truck/buggy racing, Now looking at getting another boat for fishing,, but I'm sure even if I get heavy into that sooner or later I'll come back to Planes, Been in my blood since the early 70's too
Good luck
p.s.
Still riding off road, just got back from So Cal where I did some riding last weekend
