Does this happen to anyone else or just me?

It seems like every time I start a personal project (car, gun, etc), every ounce of my energy and every cent in my wallet gets tied into other stupid things that can't be put off. Wish I had the money and time to just finish things in a timely manner for once in my life...

I don't know what you're talking about, none of my sacrifices as of late have been for my happiness . I just figure that pendulum will swing the other way soon enough though.

Yup. Just happened to me again today. Woke up to a COLD house. Furnace was out. Not being an HVAC trained person I did what every male does - I opened the cover to the furnace, looked around, jiggled wires, nodded, scratched myself, then smacked something with the handle of my screwdriver. This time, it actually worked - briefly. The furnace ignitor came on, the gas and flame began - and warmed the house up to where the thermostat was set.

Of course, this was a one time good deal as it wouldnt come back on later. I took 1/2 day off from work, called the HVAC guys, they came and replaced my ignitor & cleaned the flame sensor (even showed me how to do that - and advised I do it once a year). Cost me $250.

After a cat vet bill last month of over $600, etc., etc. I never get to do anything that *I* want with my money - just what I need to do with it.

Ouch...! I told my cats to get another life whenever they got sick

All I kept thinking was that the money I was putting out for this bill would almost cover me getting a new Sig 250 2 Sum.

Of course, the cat is my little buddy and I had to do everything I could to help him (turns out he was severely dehydrated and [er, hm] majorly constipated). He's on a prune and metamucil diet now (j/k).

van is workable, but not how I want it.
yard isn't how I want it, nor how SWMBO wants it
garage isn't how I want it
not enough guns

the usual stuff

I feel you on the cat front. I have a twenty year old cat who always needs some sort of medicine, check up, etc
