I remember when I joined TRF 10 years ago. The passion and excitement I had when I would come on here and read through all the posts and follow the cool build threads, which there were plenty. Learning new techniques and always trying to improve my skills, which currently is always work in progress. Making that 2 hour drive to Lucerne or Rabbit dry lake bed to launch my new creations and the excitement of pressing that go button and watching my rocket fly off the pad. Attending the launches 2-3 times a year and meeting some very exceptional people. Browsing the local vendors and grabbing a BBQ burger and a cold soda to wash it down.
Still a great hobby and always will be and one day I'll be able to put the same amount of time passion into it again. My time is consumed by other priorities right now and whatever free time I do have when I decide to work on a rocket I don't feel as relaxed or focused. It's a job to finish it.
One day I'll get on a crazy rocket building binge where I'll live and breath rockets day and night and in my sleep....one day
