Which, led me down the road of another question...why do I engage in hobbies? Easy, its something that I do to spend quality time with family, the whole endeavor is supposed to be enjoyed. The work, the time and the effort are all meant to provide pleasure and escape from the daily stress of life. The wine that happens to come out of it is strictly a bonus. Am I on the right track, here?
So, based on that line of thinking, I asked myself why would I want to buy something that would reduce the amount of time spent and effort involved in my hobby? These are the very things that I enjoy doing, why would I try to minimize them?
Now, if its something that can produce a better end result, I would definitely consider buying it. But I'm reluctant to buy anything that simply makes the process "easier".
