Yeah, Murph was watching over my shoulder, I'd agree. I told my wife I surely wish I'd of gone back out last night after the kids headed home, but I was bone tired after three or four hours in that sweat booth - soaking wet from head to toe, so much that my boots were doing the "squish squish" of wet socks slipping on leather

Had to laugh, Pat, because I'd just come in from a mowing session, opened a Blue Moon Ale, and your post was the first I saw

I took some time this afternoon to troubleshoot the tractor/mower and finally found a loose ground that was giving me all kinds of fits, and once fixed the mower was doing much better so I went out to attack some of the hay field that's supposed to be yard. I came to the realization that I've let this paint job become too much of a priority to the point that I've ignored things that I should be working on, and the car's no longer a fun project. So, while I'm still focused on getting done as soon as is practical, getting the car painted and re-assembled will not be my single priority any longer. I'll spend some time working on the mowing I've ignored, will get to more of my grandson's ball games, take time to go to lunch with my boys, and generally try to focus on the little things a bit more. It'll get done when it gets done, and that will be just fine.

I'm proud of you! That is the secret to success and a much more enjoyable life!
