Re: Is there anyway to get outa the burned out of wrenching phase

Post by will e »

I struggle when it is over 100 in the garage. I sweat so much I have to take off my glasses, it gets in my eyes, etc. Fortunately the Jeep is no longer my daily driver so no more 'have to fix it' on the weekends. The trouble is it can sit for a while and starts to collect boxes and stuff on top of it. That has it's own dangers...

Well it crosses my line i drew in the dirt when parents tell me how i should speak.. I dont need someone telling me to conform to them.. Thats the problem with this country these days. Dont bring your double standards around me. And im speaking in a general term here not on this thread specificly

Dude, calm down. This is not a public place. This is privately owned forum. If one of my mods says to watch what you say, or that you need to not act a certain way, its not a suggestion.

There are a lot of people that visit this forum with their kids. Because its about Jeeps, there is nothing 'adults only' about that. For the most part, this is a good, clean forum with very little drama. Please don't create any.

With that said, this thread can continue back on topic.

Thanks.

I have several projects as well, and I find that if I don't try to force it I end up in a natural cycle of working on something almost every week. I especially love the winters because there's very little yard work or house projects that interfere. So I'm in the garage 4-5 evenings a week. Maybe only an hour but I've also learned that when I'm out there I get after it. I have a plan in my mind and I don't waste time. You can get a lot done when you go hard.

The Jeep is the one project where I try REALLY hard to keep it a rolling project. Anything that doesn't run for more than a few weeks becomes an albatross pretty fast. So my advice is (this is tongue-in-cheek tough love) is to stop being a pansy and get that spring installed!
