re: "TOO MUCH WORK......"

Some of it is work: Mowing lawns, cutting down trees, chopping wood, harvesting various foods and canning, for instance. A lot of it isn't. Buying things isn't work. Hunting isn't work. Neither are projects. I don't view building things as "work." Or learning to cook. I'm doing them because they interest me, not because I have to. If I lose the interest then, yeah, they become work. Or they don't get done at all.

And I've got a whole section defined as "for pleasure."

So it's not as bad as it first appears.

The list is still growing, of course. I just thought of "Learn to weld" - an essential skill if I'm going to make a still or a wood-burning pickup truck. And there, I've got several more purchases and projects.
