What else is there I can do?

You would think I wouldn't lock myself into a corner. Well I haven't. What I have done is have too many projects going at one time. And some of them are a little over my head, but I am willing to learn. Learning is what life is all about. Time is my enemy. I am chasing my tail most of the time and yet I am always going somewhere to get something I think I need. Three times to town today, is it worth it. Well nothing would get done if I didn't have it.

I have so many irons in the fire that the heat is cold. I was asked how long will it take to get my TR6 back together, I said, 'three years'. For me to find the replacement part of the TR6 shouldn't take too long, three months. Now me to learn how to weld them in place will be the challenge. And to learn how to replace rust spots will be another challenge. I have already discovered something I don't know how to deal with. A stock tire will not fit into the trunk well. It is too big in diameter. And with all the wire wheels damaged, curb, what to do with the rims? They were painted, power coated will be better after all.

I am still in the process of building locating pad to the rotisserie. And the rotisserie will be out of balance. But everyone who has to use it will be happy that they don't have to get under the car.

You have to realize, I never intended to have a car in my workshop. Strictly a wood shop. But wood around is hard to come by. Anything from the big box stores warps, cups, twist, or splits by time I get it home. I have tried to use fallen limbs and had some success, but the material to use is small. I will learn to work with smaller sizes. There is that word again, learn.

Have you heard about the wood carver trying to teach the kid how to carver? You know how he says, 'just cut away what isn't suppose to be there.' i.e. carve a bear, just cut away what isn't a bear. Well I can't tell the difference. Do you? And lately I have seen things that might fall into my abilities. Abstract stuff. Who would know then.

One last thing, I have a friend who lost her job a good while back, and hasn't been able to find long term employment as of yet. She was to join a social network site. She is afraid of losing her identity and or getting spam. She has always lived a sheltered life. She doesn't believe in any technology, including a microwave. No cell phone. But she does have a computer because she used one at her old job. She has internet access but mostly for e-mail. That's it. Nothing more. On the other hand I don't have any problem signing for most anything. Heck, Google has me all over the place.
