Marty- I didn't realize our wives were related? Mine is saturated as well. She is so happy that fishing is over that I feel obligated to switch full throttle into hunting mode. That is a vice I'm am trying to ween off of though. Gets kinda pricey when you're stupid about buying gear for hunting AND fishing. My thought is if I'm giving one up, it ain't gonna be the warm weather one with women in bathing suits!!
As far as Xmas goes, I am very fortunate to not have to want for much. I work my butt off but it pays the bills with a little left over. In this day and age, that's a good thing! A little more time to enjoy the hobbies sure would be nice, but I think that's probably too much to ask for.
