Thread: Suffering from burn out....

Tweet

Wow....what you all said....I think it all applies to me!!.. also, TOO many hobbies, plus the property to keep up, during the summer months...Things should slow down once fall gets here.....But then I hate working in the cold!! After living in south Fla for 35 years Im spoiled now!!....Just gonna hafta break down and heat the shop. I think I'll just enjoy the rest of the summer and put the T on the back burner till winter....and NOT feel guilty about it either... But someone has to tell my girlfriend to get off my butt!! She's more excited about driving the T then I am (if that's possible!!)

One thing I do to make sure I am gonna be "geared up" to continue with my project is I buy my stuff well in advance so when I do get back to working on it I am not playing catch-up on acquiring parts. I also works to my advantage because I dont necessarily have to pay retail because I was astute enough to catch the sales.

I find myself spending more time "looking" than actully wrenching .... but that makes it fun.

Have fun with that big ol motorhome .... you finally gots indoor plumbing LOL enjoy!

One thing I would suggest to anyone is to do a build thread on here and don't be afraid to keep posting updates, no matter how insignificant the progress might be. When I did the build up on my 23 T it was one of the most fun things I did because I would come home every night with pictures in my camera and share them with my friends. I felt sometimes I was just posting for the sake of posting, but everyone's encouragement and suggestions made it fun. It also keeps you motivated because if you miss a few days someone is asking if you fell off the face of the earth or something.

The other aspect is that the quality of your work improves. When you have a bunch of people who know their stuff looking at what you have done it tends to make you spend a few minutes more grinding some part a little smoother than you might have done otherwise. And I don't know about everyone else, but I love to read other peoples build threads and look at their pictures. I never get tired of them.
