Hey, this probably doesn't belong here, except that it is an automotive section, so for my friends closing in on the back nine, here's a bit of my misery.
My '69 Plymouth is setting in the barn, untouched for the past, oh, let's see, well, a while; or maybe too long would be a better way to state it. All original, but just never enough time to dive into restoring it to its' glory. So what happens? A young fellow drives by one day, sees it in the barn, and more-or-less asks "hey mister gray haired, balding old man, do you want to sell that car?". (Nah, actually he was a very respectful young man, but the question was the same.) So, here I am, enough aches and pains to keep me awake as it is, and now I have to lose sleep over do I sell it while I have someone interested, or am I actually going to restore it? Interestingly enough, there was another post today about follow through on unfinished projects, so maybe I'll take some of the advice there, sit down with a beer and a pencil, put some timeframes to redoing brake and fuel lines, rebuilding the engine, transmission, etc., figuring out where I would buy high test today, and see where it takes me. Geez I feel sorry for kids today, who don't hear the "whomp, whomp" of real Detroit steel every day.
