I'm thinking about hanging it up? Not that I don't like it, but maybe get into something else or at least limiting my time with it?
Any of you feel that way from time to time?

I do, but only because I'm 60 and not sure how much longer I will care to make long walks retrieving rockets. I suppose I could eventually limit my launches to Black Rock desert where I can drive to retrieve my rockets.

Slow or detailed? I think about quitting every once in a while, but my family is in the hobby and it keeps us together.
That's nice that you have your family involved and it does keep you bonded. I also have other hobby's like Nitro RC trucks which I own 4
Sometimes I just want to get rid of the clutter

Hello, I understand and have come close to quitting. As many know, I was one of the main Moderators of Rocketry Planet. That was a lot of work, and frankly there was a lot behind the scenes. It turned my hobby into a job, and frankly beat the fun out of it. After Darrell died and we eventually shutdown RP I did not think about a rocket for a good 6-8 months. Then I started poking around again. Now I am back.
So, if I were you and to the point of wanting to do something else I think doing so is a wise move. This is a hobby and it is supposed to be fun. If it is not, it is totally voluntary. Try something else- life is short so please try things. I would not sell your stuff just yet, but cleaning, organizing, and packing it away for a while is good. That way if/when you come back to it stuff is orderly, or if you decide to get out/sell your stuff you know where stuff is.
Mostly, be happy. If rockets are not doing it now move on. You can always come back to it.

I wonder?? Lets say I get my L2 and I take a break from the hobby for a few years. How can I still keep my L2 status? Do I just renew my NAR membership every year?
I've been suffering some rocket "blahs" this year. Just can't seem to get motivated....
I have normally averaged building 10 rockets a year. So far I have only 3 done.
I do have 3 in process, but I just haven't wandered down to work on them very much.
Because of the "Blah" mood. I did not buy very much during the sales - just one kit and 1 motor.
Hopefully I'll get re-motivated soon
