What do you do when you don't look forward to things you once couldn't wait to get to?

Get them done, since it needs getting done.

If I have nothing to do, I find sitting down and relaxing to work. My wife will immediately notice that I’m relaxing and find something for me to do.


Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

It's likely age related. Fight it with every fiber in your body.

All I wanted to do before I found firearms was hand tool woodworking. I could hardly afford a scrap of pine at the time and now I can buy any I gun I want ( Luckily I don't want a pretty 15K SXS shotgun or then I couldn't lol) but I almost never do any woodworking. I never have time for it, whatsoever. if I DO have some free time (whatever that is) I want to be hunting fishing or trapping. I don't even get to garden anymore.

It's not that I woodworking isn't "exciting" for me, i'm not bored of it exactly, I just have a hard time ever relaxing and unwinding. it's a rare thing for me now when I used to be able to do it all the time when I only worked a 9-5. Different world now I guess with the cost of living.

So I guess the answer to your question is replace a hobby with an addiction, then you'll never be bored lol

This is something I have been trying to figure out. Its not that that interesting have changes I just dont have as much interest in much.

As far as entertainment well thats been cheap today. Feeling like im intoxicated, Tight heavy legs, and get ext tired fast. Trying to speak and the words won't come out. All just part of the new normal I guess.


Never know what symptoms will appear, when they will or how long they will stick around. Hopefully stuff will go away again soon.. Its geting old and well working like this is/could become an issue.

The proper name for that is a pouting shed.
