Ain't that the god damn truth... I'm willing to bet very few of you are coming out of this any better than you went in... prove me wrong!
@freemo True!
Back enjoying working on my bikes, fixing things up that had pilled up over time, and sold some of them to free up some room.
Waiting for nice weather for rides with sunny skies and warmth (a 5 Celsius ride yesterday, after days of cloudy and drizzly weather).
@design_RG Sounds pretty constructive, I approve :)
I've been spending it brushing up on some relativity and going all the way back to maxwells equations just to reenforce it as it has been a while.
Also I think im going to finish working on my ROES project now that I'm back in my philly home with my lab.
@freemo It's been fun, I hadn't worked on them for a few years, jut didn't feel like it.
Many small repairs, parts moving around, sold some Vintage bikes for reasonable prices to people who will ride and enjoy them more than me, with so many here in the stable. 😄
@design_RG I find that kind of work frustrating personally. I get everything in place and then it makes a noise or doesnt work right, and usually my back and hands are too sore and im just like "fuck it" and pay someone to fix it..
The physical engineering part has always been my weaker aspect, im amazing at theory, but the actual building.. ehhh.. Like in EE, I will design a great circuit but when it comes to building the housing it looks like a 3rd grader did it.
@freemo Ah, I see. 😄
I like the building of things as well, although sometimes they do test your patience. I just finished building a new old bike (a low budget vintage build for someone who saw one of my listings, but didn't move fast enhough to come and snap it before another buyer.)
This bike tested my patience all right, I did tons of work on it, and had many small problems, needed parts or to find some way to make things work with what I had in hand, but managed. Came back from a 10 Km test ride and it was all good, delivery tomorrow possibly. :)
And sold another two vintage bikes earlier today, a young couple came along and loved the bikes, they fit them well, and everyone was so happy. Me too, knowing they are going for a good home. 😃
@design_RG Well all that hard work and patience is also just what makes it rewarding when it all comes together in the end.
@freemo Yes, and I believe is part of our own evolution process. Lessons we learn, a path we are suggested to follow, although we have some freedom to resist or abandon it; then other paths will open.
It always seems to be learning, and sometimes that is about perseverance, humility, stick with it-ness. 😃
