I find me working on piles of crap that relatives own…brakes…wheel bearings…re-connecting sensors that were intentially unplugged by the shitty used car lots they bought them from…vacuum tubes intentionally disconnected from the shitty used car lot they bought shit piles at, etc. So, yeah, I’m doing basic repairs on shit piles instead of my own stuff. Not glorious, but it’s wrenching and it gives me a good feeling when I get it right. One day the shit box 'll get done. ---

Yeah, I was going to force myself to finish it up Sunday but the father-in-law came by and we sealed my driveway instead. Then I have out of town meetings for work next week and general BS house crap to finish before I go. At this rate, i’ll be 60 before I get to start it again. ---
