Re: [DMCForum] Re: Too many hobbies; is it just me?



Good call on prioritization. So far I've prioritized by putting
everything except the DeLorean and hovercraft on the back burner. The
problem is, once I start working on the hovercraft, something breaks
on the DeLorean that can't wait (like the horns, and temperature
gauge). ;-)

Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets himself into too many projects.
