SWMBO tolerates my hobbies because I also use them to fix thing she needs fixed. Also, I equate her kitchen (cooking is her major hobby) as her workshop, and try not to stint her on the things she needs for it. The first Damascus bladed knives in the house were for her kitchen, for example. She has a new range that's being delivered Friday, and as soon as I can figure out exactly what we need, she's getting a new counter top mounted about 6"-8" lower than the current one.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new
problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight
efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
