1. Attitude adjustment for my wife. She needs to understand this is more than a hobby, less than a drug addiction. It is addictive, but I do not need therapy!
I am wondering about the therapy thing myself. Although my girlfriend works weird hours, she understands the need to get out and do some stress management and that's what my flying does for me. Try putting it that way to her. As far as therapy goes, I flat out refuse to get any for this addiction as it is WAY TOO MUCH FUN.
2. More time for flying, building, hanging out at the hobby shop, etc
Work sucks as it cuts into my flying and hanging out at the LHS way too much. Just don't do what I did and get a part-time job at the LHS, WAY too much temptation.
I have been into this for just under a year and I felt that this thread was something to get going as I saw it as a way to give back what I got. It actually started with Razor-RCU and his free engine thread and he deserves a ton of thanks for giving me the idea for this.
Well, time to get back to the hobby, err addiction or whatever you wish to call it.
