Yeah, that's gonna run it up there. I easily spend thousands per year although this year will be slower. My list of hobbies starts with dual sport motorcycles. Main expense the last several years has been tires, from 2 to 5 a year-premium rubber. Next comes toy steam engines, then hit and miss and throttle governed flywheel engines. Lastly come vintage Briggs and Stratton engines. New this year will be a Wheelhorse RJ model probably a 1960 or so when I find the perfect one!
No threats from the best friend yet, it keeps me in the shop playing a lot. She's happy-I'm happy!
You must have some great skills. I would love to see some pictures.
cheers
