You daydream of being able to go back in time so you can score a bunch of germanium transistors.  :(

You may have a problem or at least an addiction, I don't know that it's a problem.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

You spend 3 hrs trying to transfer a toner to a pcb and still think is fun!😜

I'm driving Two and a half hours in a couple of days time to have a look at a stash of old shit that may be good for nothing, but i can't stop thinking about it, might be the holy grail of unobtainium ;D or not :P

Or you seriously consider to take your car for a 200 km trip, just to get your hands on some 220nF caps, becouse you want a SMALLER SIZE than those you have in the drawer. and you NEED IT NOW.

When your wife recognizes a box from Tayda even before you open it.

When you can't bring yourself to throw away any piece of broken electronic equipment because there's a few electrolytic caps in there that you might be able to use later, so I'm just going to put this in storage, ok sweetie? Sweetie?

Just did this with a dead microwave. Although the main thing I want out of it is the fans and ventilation stuff -- for making a paint station to paint effects boxes.

When your favorite post from any forum is Jimilee giving the new Tayda code.

When you promise your wife to not spend all of your free time soldering, but then do some research on circuits, design the artwork/layout for the next build, prepare the next parts/pcb order, sharpen the EAGLE skills, read the forum, actually make next parts/pcb order.... Do I need to continue? Soooooooo glad the wife has some hobbies as well.....  ;)
