And you're right.

That is certainly true if you work in gold or platinum. I'm strictly working with sterling silver because I just can't afford to "experiment" with gold at its current prices. Even silver is expensive now, around $32 an ounce... I long for the days of 2009 when it was around $10, but at least it's under $40 again.

Right! The U.S. Mint delayed making the Silver Eagle bullion coin until September 15th this year because silver was/is so high. Another thing that is weird to me is that gold has been more expensive than platinum recently. That isn't usually the case!

less extreme: shooting 1 time a week.
moderation: shooting 2-3 times a week.
extreme: shooting each and every day rain or shine.

me, I shooting 3-5 times a week, unless I am on vacation, then I shoot 3-5 times a day.

I wonder if I really even have a hobby, I maintain employment, do errands on weekends, sleep, clean the house, post on C/D. Do people need hobbies?

Posting on c-d could be considered a hobby, especially within the larger framework of computer use. On second thought, it's more of an addiction.
