The learning process is why I took up this hobby (obsession?) in the first place, its such a huge learning curve that as soon as I think I have something sorted, something new pops up and its back to the research stage again.
Its such a great way to work out the ol grey matter, I love it. Plus getting out under the stars with no one else around allows me to recharge the batteries just for a little bit.
I might only get a few nights a month under the stars but they are worth their weight in gold.
Just my musings.
