I tried putting together a hobby related RC in Austin a couple years ago. Over 50 responses and commitments and one brother showed up. Hard to do a charity ride or a poker run with that kind of participation. However, if we could get some committed members together, we could do a toys for tots run or a charity ride to benefit the Elf Louise Project. That's a good way to spend money.
If I'm home in SA when you want to do this, I'll 100% do a run/ride for Elf Louise. I haven't listened to the annual radiothon since Marvin Rush passed, but hearing Mrs. Locker talk about why she started the charity and then Mr. Rush come in at the end to donate another 6 figures so their goal was reached shaped a young man's reasoning for wanting to make bank. Maybe we could get a couple of the lovely OH2 ladies to grace our 2up seats for the occasion. Mine vibrates (just saying)
Ever since Luxury in Dallas closed, and Malibu Linda is on an endless vacation I've been building 80% ARs and buying guns left and right. The gun hobby will forever be my go to money pit.
I keep working on my side business selling and cerakoting guns. I'll eventually buy another harley here soon as well. Guns and harleys expensive hobbies but at least I get a break on guns since I'm a dealer.
Just picked up a new project car - '68 El Camino SS basket.
Will be spending most of my cash on getting that back to like new condition.

That's been my go-to replacement, building out a special edition corvette.
As to the rest of the thread, yeah, real estate, guns, maybe stocks, though I see a nasty bubble pop looming, I've got long positions on a few companies, obviously, this doesn't constitute financial advice, as I'm a moron, but, Corning (glassware company, heavy in the smartphone industry) $GLW is a good choice, they're a little down, as is most of the market, but they pay decent dividends, and they're not going anywhere. General Electric has a long, slow gain history (barring a few hiccups, usually separated by decades), and pays decent dividends, increasing a lot recently.
Seriously though, this law is misguided and short-sighted. It's like fighting drugs by going to war with the soil, yes, without the soil, there won't be drugs, but, you're gonna get a lot more collateral damage than you are direct effect. Target pimps, and maybe hard drug dealers/traffickers. Not escorts, not clients.
I am keeping my hobby up.....thanks (Tom Jones) ....
