At some point, it's probably just cheaper to hire musicians to perform in your living room instead

Aesop was much more concise.

Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.' People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves.[4]

All the best,

It's only a curse if it's your only avocation causting you to put your effort here when there is little or nothing that needs attention.  I use my system to relax and recover after hiking, climbing, and ultradistance running. I have to share time with my personal machine shop where I make a lot of cool sh*t.  I could keep going.  I never need to find something to enertain me by making upgrades that don't need to be made.
