I am very excited about the hobby. My favorite club-related activity is building new modules. I also really enjoy refurbishing older modules. I learned a valuable lesson while refurbishing modules which is that everything can be repaired no matter how badly it is damaged. This has helped me to set aside my anxiety over my own modules getting damaged. I enjoy sharing whatever I have learned with others.
