Mason,
From that 10 minute chat you certainly went on a roller coaster ride bar none.
I know a lot of people tried to give you advice and some you used and some you did not.
Why that singles me out for attention I don't know.
I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
Roger

Mason - Good luck with your new endeavors. You certainly know what makes a good 928 and perhaps a few of them will be owned by Rennlist members.

I'm guessing that ADHD has a lot to do with the behavior and subsequent sale....

Accurate. Very severe adhd diagnosed 25 years ago. Drugs don't achieve results, only hard physical work consumes the extra energy enough to level me out..... but it has to be daily, if I sit in an office for too long it's like a ticking time bomb.
Someone on here said it last year that I belong out in the shop.... it's true.

I think this is a great example of why a passion or hobby should not always become a job. I don't think anyone would deny that mason loved 928s or that he was passionate about them.

But, when it becomes a business, then suddenly your love turns into a daily grind with all the hassles that go along with it. And, sometimes things don't go well, the business folds, and it leaves a serious taint on something you used to love.

Good luck Mason

Its very helpful to have that kind of discovery about oneself.

We all have our issues, its especially good though when you have identified them and can make alterations in your life to come to grips with them.

Im always in that self discovery mode, the more I can realize about myself the better off I will be in this mad mad world.
