All great responses. I'm sure glad I don't have this problem.

LOL, I think you have the addiction to the extreme.  You're my hero!

All though I don't have any "big" boy toys like collector cars or a motorcycle or boat, I think I grew up in a great time for toys. I was born in 1957 so I got in on the original hot wheels, GI Joe, and many other toys from the early to mid 60s. I had an erector set, a chemistry set, made plastic car and airplane models. I guess the only big boy toys which I had were my firearms, I sold all my shotguns, hunting rifle, and pistol to a coworker about 9 years ago, I then went and purchased a 9mm Smith & Wesson, which I still have, haven't been to the range since before covid, maybe one of these days I'll have to go and get back into target shooting.

Bob J. has the best range of "toys" in all scales; 1:1 thru 1:64.

 

LOL we can't argue with that can we ?

Steve, I agree, after the new year I'm going to have a procedure done to help with my breathing. I have severe COPD/Emphysema. Once I recover from this procedure, I think it's time to get back to having fun and enjoying life.

I sure hope that you recover and feel 101% so you can enjoy life. I love keeping busy with my model collection.

Our model hobby brings me immense joy.  It is an art form steeped in nostalgia.  I see vintage cars the same way.
