Does payoff really matter? Even just the challenge and dare I say enjoyment from doing it makes up for a lot. I have seen a lot of middle aged guys spend money on a lot less. I don't agree with NTA on pretty much anything to do with climate change etc, but I dont remember him ever selling this on money. He just wanted to give it a crack and enjoy the whole thing. Mission accomplished IMO.
My neighbour just upgraded his boat, his old was pretty good, his upgrade cost 40k more, nobody annoys him with a cost benefit analysis.I bet his wife did...
I kind of get what your saying but don't "get it" One thing is luxury entertainment and the other is energy saving.
Because for some people they can be the same thing. Not me in this instance. But one persons entertainment is anothers nightmare. All I am saying is that NTA got as much enjoyment from his hobby as others get from boats, cars etc. I think any ROE is actually just a bonus.
Isn't it similar in horse racing? Passion and enjoyment for the journey first, ROE definitely possible but can't be the sole reason?That’s a good topic for a thread , I see guys going out in big boats who catch fuck all but have a good time and don’t care if the snapper they are eating works out to be $90 a kg .

A classic example is we had two yearling up at the sales which sold and I was happy as sales were ending and we hadn't purchased anything, then with a couple of hours to go, true-love purchased a horse. I wasn't happy until it turned up on Saturday and it came to the fence and dropped its head into me. I'd pay twice the price just for that and I have no idea if she will be any good yet.

I'm alive, fluffybunnies.
Pay up, those who bet against.
There was a book?
Welcome back fella, missed your salty tears at the Tahs going 0-3
Ha! I'm expecting zero given we've got another fucking kiwi in charge.
Plus, I'm way too amused by the ongoing club Rugby shit going on in the rights deal negotiations.

So, I've done my usually mushroom impression and missed what you were actually getting operated on for. I understand it was heart related.
Did you say, or was it just exploratory to confirm you do actually have a heart?
(If you discussed it in the Fitness forum, fair enough, I would have missed that coz I blocked that forum.)
Interested as have my own heart issues.
Regardless, am pleased you are well.

Patent formalen ovale closure @booboo
Potentially linked to my migraines, and general circulation. Doc said it was a fairly substantial one, so glad they got it now instead of when I'm having some for no discernible reason.
Shit, I get migraines ... how worried should I be Dr NTA?

Not familiar with the condition
.(I just went straight to heart attack. Over rated in my opinion.)
Old, or at least middle, aged health problems are shit.
P.S. have nothing but good to say about the QLD health system, trust the NSW system looks after you as well.
Either that or your insurance is top notch.
Trust you're all good.

@booboo 2 visits to the local private @ $70 each. Includes anaesthetics etc.
I also think the 2 cardiologists involved are happy to see if this works, just so they can tell the neurologist (working in the same suites) that they cured the migraines where he failed.
They will probably write a paper or something

Migraine is a fucking minefield to diagnose. Most of the people who have a PFO live through without even knowing. All the recovery documentation is aimed at grey rinse crowd.

My old man had migraines and died of a heart attack at 45 - I turn 45 this year and have migraines .... so if I see anything to do with heart and migraines together I put 2 and 2 together, make 5 and freak myself out.
Edit: Holy fuck, in the time that I wrote that message I just got a text from a mate in London who said he had a heart attack and was in a coma for 48 hours, but he's all good now.

@Nepia Fuck me that's scary
Hell yeah, as he always seemed a bit more healthy than the rest of our group of mates.
He just sent some more details saying the Drs thought he was actually dead when he first went into the coma, but they hooked him up to the machines just in case, which was lucky.
