I just have too much freakin' stuff. I think my hobby IS hobbies - Lego, model rockets, RC cars, slot cars, computers, photography, stamps, kites, woodworking, music - and I have to start thinning the list.
I once had a model rocket and set it of a few times in the park near my house, it was great, then decided to get the biggest engine possible (I was using mid to low size ones at the time), you got four of them in the packet, well I was dead excited, how far was it going to go? etc.. set it off and that was the last I saw of it lol, it went that high that I watched it come down in a cemetery that was miles away (how ironic), went looking for it but never did find it, that was the end off that hobby.
.....ho ho. I used to fly rockets back in Arizona. Did the same thing: built a super cool rocket, stuffed the biggest freakin' engine I could into and the biggest freakin' parachute. We tracked it as far as we could til it hit a thermal and it just went up...and up...and up... and then the tiny little speck disapeared from my binoculars. But another kid had a fat telescope and he followed it to ground a couple three miles away, hangin' from a power line. By the time we drove out across the desert and found it the chute had gotten untangled and it fell into my hands. I tossed it in the car and we jumped inside and my buddy's little brother sat on it and crushed it..... :evil:
