Lighten up on him, Bill. Yes, he has 24 hours in a day like all of us do, but sometimes we must do what we NEED to do, not what we WANT to do. I got married 6 years ago, and since then, my building time has gone down somewhat. I'm the stay-at-home partner. I take care of the house and our pets, shop, and cook and a half dozen other things. Some things MUST be done before I build or on a specific schedule. They're not an option. I am NOT complaining. My wife is a wonderful woman and VERY supportive of my hobby. I just wanted to mention that not all of us can wake up, eat breakfast, and build for the rest of the day.

I tried the retirement thing, but folks won't let me stay retired. I got to retire a while back, and one week later, someone wanted me to take over the operation of his company. The offers are so good, that I can't say no to them. No, I'm not doing 60 hours per week any longer (I'm down to about 54), so yes, I have 6 extra hours per week to play. But, when I was doing about 70 hours per week at my job (up until this summer), I still budgeted at least one hour per day to my hobby. You don't build a model airplane in one week, just as you can eat an entire elephant. One bite at a time. That's the way I get to build. One little thing at a time. And sooner or later, the model is finished. I was not trying to come down hard on him, but we all do exactly what we want to do with the time we have available to us. It's all about choices.
