That's really cool and awesome job! Might be worth entering in some type of art show or what have you. I will say this, having a hobby is important. Keeps you busy, keeps the mind busy, and something to look forward too. Owning MV's is a hobby but it's not a daily hobby. Stuff like woodwork and art, amongst other things can make great daily hobbies. People who have time on their hands and no hobbies, as I have noticed, are usually more likely to be depressed, miserable, or develop bad habits such as eating disorders, alcoholism, ect.

You got that right!!! It doesn't matter what it is.., it will give you purpose and enjoyment for the rest of your life. I can't sit around and watch TV sports like some distant friends always do.., but I will occasionally turn it on as background noise while I'm working on something. Very few that I know have hobbies 50 years later. I'm just not interested in ranting and raving over the NFL or college draft picks... To each their own... God bless Tom Landry and the "dooms day defense".
What we see and listen too now is over in a year or two after the parties, hookers, dope, DWI's, death or incarceration. I'm sorry, I've seen it all. I cannot defend the indefensible. It is what it is... Moderator, please move to the political forum if my comments are out of bounds for this thread.
