Missing The Time And Energy For Basicaly Useless Projects

     Most of the time people complain about being bored. I found a way to cope with boredom is to engage in basically useless projects that no one cares about by you. This however can become expensive when you get on a kick and buy a bunch of things you will never use again. 
     I got on a model railroad kick. Having a model railroad on my dining room table for seven years. No wonder I do not have a girlfriend! I spent tons of money on stuff that I can not even give away anymore. 
     For years I was on a golf kick. I would take older clubs and clean and even take to time to repaint the marks the perfect color. But I could play fairly well. And then I just quit playing due to pressing affairs. 
     The bicycle thing proved to have a lot of utility. For years I used bicycles as my primary transportation. Not using a motor vehicle for months at a time. But I did however go over board with this too. Having too many bicycles. But I spent a lot of time messing with them and not bothering anyone else. Kind of a win win. But I am left with far too much stuff that I may never use. 
     In Indiana I used to row a fairly large garden. That anyone who wanted anything from it was welcome to. I had English hybrid tea roses. About ten varieties that were on the side of the house and again anyone was welcome to clip some for themselves. I grew a lot of vegetables as well. Many different kinds of flowers and landscape plants. Guess I do a better job with inanimate objects than humans. I did have a pretty cool Lab that would hang out with me. And a couple of stray cats that stayed outside. 
     These things can take up a lot of time and energy. Giving you exersize and something to do. For the most part not bothering anyone else. Not being bored either and you were focused on the project. 
     The point here is when you think that you are bored be thankful that you are doing something you want to do not have to do. Because at some juncture you will be forced to do something that you do not want to but have to do. And will yearning for the tome you were bored.
