The Ford Barn

wingski · 01-19-2018, 08:18 PM

I realized something today. It seems like every time I get up from sleeping or take a break from doing something else, I immediately open up the laptop and go to the Ford Barn. I was becoming concerned about spending so much time on this thing when I could or should be doing something else. And then, I figured out something. I can’t type or think worth crap for awhile after waking up and have no business doing anything else until I can do those two adequately.

I wonder how many screw-ups and mistakes I’ve avoided making on my A by sitting here in my recliner typing away.

It was like a light bulb went off over my head, and a little voice said, “You are not wasting time, you are using time.”

Thanks again Ford Barn,

Mike

Are you sure that its a good thing for that light bulb to go OFF? Shouldn't it go 'ON'?

When it goes OFF it only goes OFF once (Boom !)

I have saved some time by reading about a job I didnt think i needed to do and low and behold im doing that job on my car.

I had been watching some of these metal shaping how to videos. And then I got a suburban that had a ton of rust hiding under the factory z71 ground effects kit and it needed some patches. These videos helped with a bunch of small ideas in them I could apply to my pieces. Now I want a bead roller and english wheel.

I’m pretty thick-headed so when I have an epiphany, the light bulb has to go off with a BANG to get my attention. Hell, if it just went on, I wouldn’t see it and I’d just wonder why I could see the computer better for awhile. Then, it would go off and I’d be none the wiser.

So there,

Mike
