You Start Out To Do One Thing And.......
« on: Aug 06, 2020, 06:31 AM »
Yesterday I started out to put a new carburetor on my faithful Homelite Weed Eater. Somehow I ended up spending 6 hours cleaning and reorganizing my garage. Now I have to finish sorting out some of the stuff I unearthed, a couple trips to the recycler to make and I have to build  a new stand for my mitre saw ( I was gonna do that anyway)

The weed eater and new carb are still on the bench.

Is it just me, or does this kind of thing happen to some of you?

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Every day RG. I call it the “hey, look a squirrel” syndrome. Start out to do something and become easily distracted by other tasks

 It happens to me more often than not
 Things get done but not always in the original order , long as things get done is what counts

I just can't believe all the things that have to get done to keep a home and property running and maintained. Add to that a log home and four ponds...

My next big project is replacing the decking with poly deck.

 “ Hey look at the squirrel”       I like that! Glad its not just me.

Yes..I am retired.

Got the garage in order and even fixed the weed eater. Time for a nap. Then I have to mow. At least I have stuff to keep me busy....I guess.

And you can still do it. One of my parents is having mobility issues and is really frustrated and down because she can't do things she used to do.

Every day is an adventure when you get a bit older. I’d have to say that for 70 I’m doing pretty well. No major maladies. All I can tell you is exercise every day you can, eat well, sleep well and take it as it comes.
