Going on with to many things

[guido]

Im gonna tell you somthin. In many years i did wanted to many thing of interests. I realize this, but hard to get around it. So, my car hobby has taken way to long. Got 4 none running yet. So making up my mind is qestion i have to ask myself. What do i want?

At least one thing; i havent been hearing a good set of twin choke carburettors barking under the hood for like 20+ years. I think i should leave all the rest of going cycling, fitness, garden hobby for a while. I feel bad to be not in fysical good shape anymore, well that is in reasonably fashion. 

So since i had me another Ford escort MK2 again after many years  ( a 4 dour, i had only two doors back then ) i'm very happy to have one again. Waiting for new Aldon dizzy and other iginion parts. New oil and such, to get it started after 11 years at rest. Car was not cheap, but hey what's not cheap for these models and for sure MK1 

Well, i'm gonna have me some beers and some smoke, Thinking..........Tomorrow hopefully get those damn drumbrakes fitted on my Fiesta 1989. Next time i'll switch to disc 

Oh yeah there is this neighbour final help for whom i made a steel backyard door.

Getting old, what a bastard, I'm not doing as much project work.

I keep thinking , I need to get on, but not like the old days , when I'd have a few good evenings in the barn working on projects.

I've got too many to finish.  But lots of other life stuff is getting in the way.😄

Motivation is now getting very low. Last 4 days of summer holidays. I think to take it very easy now and see later what comes up. Doing some gardening that is all and gives good feeling. The wether is going to become very warm this weekend and next week monday up to 34 C where i live. The day i have to go to work again. 🥺

I did not shoot my pcp guns for a while, i did not played guitar for a longer while, i did not cycling as much as i used to. Now its work in my house, collecting parts for my car, and being a bit lazy last few months. I am getting tired after 42 years of labour, Wanting too much to many. Making choices in life is hard for me.

Just chip away at those jobs, and slowly they get done.😃

Who is not if you have to make money to sustain,  take care your own living? Indeed slowly keeping on. Not losing interrest of course.

It does indeed. All beit that i had almost no summer vacation. Working at home. Comes slow, but comes along..

Money spend, for the best of it. 460 € stainless steel to make guard rail on stairs. 500 for laminate. Attic floor ready.

Next payday, again spending money for trim and all that little to do this and that.
