There are two acronyms that I have picked up from other hobby groups.
SEX = Stash Enhancement eXperience. Whatever you do to add to your stash.
SABLE = Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy. :-D
So... how many of us are SABLE? And for those of use whe *are* SABLE, do
you ever intend to give up SEX?

For the past couple of years, I have worked fewer hours than previously and

retired twenty years early! At first I was turning out one completed model
a week and thoroughly enjoying myself. However, recently I noticed that,
despite having the same amount of free time, my output had been steadily
dropping. I found that when I considered doing some modelling I was
thinking
"What's the rush? I can do it later." And of course, I was doing less and
less.
Things have now changed. I have recently got myself a new job, which means
I
have a great deal less spare time. One would have thought that would mean
less modelling, but it's not so. I've found that now that I have less
spare
time, I'm actually making time for modelling. My output has risen quite
remarkably. Okay, I'm not churning out one a week, but still. I've also
found that now I'm enjoying my modelling more.
Any comments from those of us who *are* retired?
I'm not retired, but I was completely off on disability for about three
months back in '06...I got down to building and built like I hadn't done
since high school. Then I went back to work half time and it
slowed/ceased. I haven't touched a thing since I got back to work full
time in the fall of '07.
I think in my case I may actually finish my stash before I die if I
don't grow it too much more...
heresy!
....that's me - always bucking the trend!
i'd rather trend toward some bucks right now. |

Been 'retired' for almost 15 yrs now. Even though I wasn't that prolific to
start with, model completions have dropped to the point that the last one
was close to 3 years ago. I can't even get my self going to finish
renovating the rest of this old Victorian barn.
I guess my 'get up and go' got up and went :-)

....Not in decades. We only had one station that played the syndicated

the only station subversive enough to play Dr. Demento.
