Feeling Buried

All the projects that I want to do seem such a huge task that I will never survive them all.
There is a basement room that needs a new floor, I am going to install in floor heating, trying to decide to go Hydro or Electric. Both are a huge undertaking.
Then there is the outside dirt wall that should be stabilized although it is frozen now (yes :-) it will be good till summer.
I picked up a thirty-year old fifteen-foot Lund boat that looks in great shape but will still need quite a few hours of TLC, and rebuild the Mercury motor for it. The trailer needs to be stripped down, repainted, new tires and rims.
Also picked up a 1984 Fiero that I want to restore or possibly turn into a mock Ferrari. The engine is in fairly good shape, what I originally wanted to do is drop a small V8 in it. That might be too large of a task!
Doesn’t seem like much, but I do like to do as much myself as possible. Looks like lot of man-hours.
Also will be adventuring more into the Cane curriculum getting the Kwoon up to speed. This winters project.
Looks like I need a big dollar retirement.

  1. Grandpa live until he was 97, that gives you plenty of time for all your hobbies and more. Time is about perspective. You will never really run out and when you do you won't be able to look back anyway. Don't let time fool you, as society seems to do so well. They say it is of the essence, which is now. When the drive comes to push through to your next project you will know, it will not be planned, only adored and admired.
