But your argument that it is "work" is really not valid, if it "finished" and only needs upkeep which is a few hours a year.

One reason I like mechanical projects is that you can walk away from them for a year if needed and no harm done. I recall rebuilding the transmission on the 993 and the car being up on jackstands for a year or so. I was wise and put fuel stabilizer before shutting her down - knowing how it may go. I have a lot to do at work, a family and a handful of other hobbies ...

I may turn out a loner, but I have refrained from club activities or group hunts, group exercises etc, because I want to do it on my schedule. If I had a long week at work, the last thing I need is a guy waiting for me at the wildlife refuge at 3 am on Saturday. I just go by myself for an evening hunt instead, Sunday if need be.
