How would you handle

I used to have similar problem, on weekends when I was off from work I'd have alot of buddies coming over and it would keep me from getting the work done I had planned on my cars, sometimes it came in handy and I'd get help, other times we would end up talking about cars all day and my work time would be lost. As life would have it, I ended up moving 60 miles south of my hometown, now I miss people stopping by like it used to be, not many Mopar people around here and I don't know the ones I've met very well. I still go up and see my buddies sometimes, and once in a blue moon one will come to see me but usually a buddy stopping by will run its course. Sometimes getting older brings loneliness, I miss the way things used to be.
