I am really glad that Jeff has started collecting antique firearms. He had told me that he had collected firearms years ago, but had to pawn them when he was very short on cash. He has been feeling comfortable enough over the last year to purchase a handgun and 3 rifles to date. I know it is a little straining on our income, but he is finding good deals on the guns, so he is not paying full price for them.
He has stopped purchasing model kits as he says that he has enough to get him through his retirement for now. I'm sure he will look at them again at some point if he goes through the kits fairly quickly once he does retire.
I'm just happy that he has a hobby now to do on his days off. I don't think it is healthy to have nothing going on in your off days!
