Pleasure ?
Accomplishment? Lack of self esteem? This is how I spent each evening this week. Cutting out the safety rail & fixing the dents behind the rail. Mr. Sixnotfour said "oh that's easy"....... I don't think so....I'm just looking for some ideas ...what's my motivation for this pain? Attached image(s)

Curt, You are under orders from the General. There is no philosophy. Only duty.
Did you get those flares cut off yet? |

The chronology:
Saturday Night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) after Thanksgiving) drive home from Mom's house in Oregon. I'll do some work, start messing around, I'll take the doors off.. no problem. Monday Night: After stopping by to say Hi to my buddy Nick at EuroTech , he say's "just cut those rails out". On my lunch I spend $30.00 in grinding wheels and an arbor at Tool Town. Home I go on a mission... I cut the frikin thing out only to find I now cannot get it out of the door panel... It's reverse of the ship in a bottle. I go to bed. Tuesday: On a mission I starting splitting it in half so I'm able to remove it. My grinding/cut-off wheel becomes to small in diameter, I can't reach the depth I need to cut the formed channel. I go to bed... Wednesday: More wheels from Tool Town ..come home cut the fucher in half...go to bed. Thursday: Tonight ! Pleasure, channel is out and I successfully massage the dents out! Four day's one dent..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

Curt, in science we say that even proving something is wrong is good science. In this case, you have proven Jeff wrong... Good science if you ask me!

These were some very thoughtful replies to my philosphical question.
Here's what I learned from the replies: White collar guy's are very slow... but we do like to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) and it's a great escape from our white collar world plus I get to use all these cool tools! Always ask Jeff for advice prior to cutting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) These things are very heavy, probably twenty lbs , 10 gauge steel. The passenger side structure will remain intact, to counterbalance my fat ass. "and how did that make you feel"??? Accomplished, tired, when there's a will there's a way. What else am I going to do watch TV? " lack of self" need for acceptance I'm still fuzzy on this? |
