Have you ever fallen out of love with something that you loved doing?

[Trooper Ozzy]

I played hockey for 40 years. Got to the point where the body couldn't do what the brain wanted. I needed a new hobby. Went to one match and was all in 4 years ago. Addicted to a little pain so black powder it is. Can't see the targets, shoot slow, reloading is slower, keep finding older and older guns to shoot. I am lucky in that I have the whole range of clubs within 2 hours...fast and close with similar sets each month, to 12 permanent bays with far small targets (love those Texas Stars). Always was a competitor, need to practice more. Maybe when I retire I'll have some time. Don't know what I missed early on, enjoy what I have now.

Yeah, but it's a good kind of crazy.   

maybe, but I'm not into pain.  It hurts.

...is this thread supposed to be depressing or is it just trending that way?

It's cheaper than professional mental therapy....and funner (funnier?), too.
