I think it's one of four things. They're all "wife related".
1. The guy has a wife who dosen't give him crap about anything. Time spent on hobbies, money spent on hobbies, or just hobbies...
2. The guy has no wife.
3. The guy's wife has equaly expensive hobbies, and she has a decidely un-wifely sense of "fairness".
4. The guy has a wife that likes shooting as/almost much as he does.
(4a. His wife is a Dillon Blue Press catalog model.)
Although, a bit more seriously, whenever I do see something that involved, whatever it is, planes, boats, sailing, mountian climbing, whatever... I wonder more about the finances, lifestyle, and personal relationships that permits them the ability to devote so much time and money to their hobby, than I do about the hobby itself.
