Apathy

As promised, I will now blather about my latest obsession. But what is interesting, is that I almost think this obsession is waning. My desire to buy and build planes and helis is rapidly diminishing. I used to see a plane or heli in the advertisements and just desperately wanted it...NEEDED it. But then once I got it, put it together and flew it a few times, got completely bored with it. It's almost an empty feeling. Now I have another plane that I have bought electronics for, extra batteries, etc, that is just cluttering up my garage. I feel guilty and wasteful.

For the first few times, this coming down from each new-plane-high would wear off and I would be back at it again: lusting after another plane that ultimately would cause the cycle to repeat again. For a while it was RC jets. Then it was helis, now it's aerobatic planes. At least with the aerobatic planes, there is a lot of flying skills that you can learn.  They are far more capable than these compromised-for-the-sake-of-scale jets.

I can go bigger and probably better than the modest 3-d plane I have now, but the question that still haunts me, is why? What's the point? I'm even thinking of selling off my scale planes. They bore me. Not much to do with them other than fly around and go "cool, it looks good in the sky" and land it.

Helis are still not boring yet. They require so much more skill to fly and diligence to keep them flying.

Designing my own airplanes is another avenue that hasn't been completely exhausted. But, I still feel like this obsession's days are numbered. So, what I am going to obsess about next.

I could, and probably should, start riding again, but I just don't want to. I've been doing it for so long, with such dedication that I am completely burnt on it. I have ZERO desire to race.

A fellow ADHD friend is trying to get my back into motorcycles again, but thing is I don't really like riding on the street anymore. I still like the track, but that takes a lot of work and I just can't muster it up again.
