Sometimes, less is more :) I use a Google excel doc for mine and have not looked back!
Bought it from a person who lived about 20 miles away. He grew up with it in his grandmas house. Bought it, fixed it and returned it back to him.
Selfishly I do it to keep up my soldering skills when none of my amateur radio related radios need servicing. Plus putting a little good karma out there never hurt anyone.
I then give it back to the seller who usually is excited about having it work again. Once in a while I will put the stories on eham.net.
If for any reason the radio breaks, going to send the author an email to offer to fix it for free. All it takes are about $3 worth of mouser capacitors in my experience.
I have always been looking externally, but nothing seemed to ever pan out, so in addition to feeling lost, there is a component of feeling trapped as well.
My background is a little different where I am in the org psychology space, so this experience has been nice to see how I have been processing the information. So there is often time where journaling helps me process. Or reading posts like this and feeling not alone.
If anyone has any insight, or wants to connect, I would love that as well.
For someone constantly reading about philosophy, it would be a nice change of pace for me to get some college related books that are not used anymore due to a new and "better" version being out.
The only downside for me is that I need to "re-log in" to google once a month. The wife would not be amused. Plus, we are currently paying for 200/20 for about $45 from spectrum.
