You can keep your youth!

CareIn my late teens, I was not kind to my cars. One of them I screwed up the engine and decided, after running tools for my dad for many years I was going to rebuild the engine myself. Just a few problems with that, I had never done it and I had not really paid attention running those tools. Never the less I tried and once the car was back together, mostly, I tried to fire it up and it would not work. I had it towed to a garage where a friend worked and he called me laughing telling me that the mechanic did not have enough rags to catch all the fluids which were coming out. I had failed miserably and as soon as I got the car back I sold it so I didn’t have to be reminded of my failure! Now thirty years later I have been able to successfully do the same job on one jeep and might have to do it to another at a later date! I am not that same kid, and that is a good thing. Someone asked me about the bathroom I am redoing, they asked if I had the ability to do all the things needed to finish the job! My response was, I will when I’m done! Yeah, it won’t look as good as someone who has been it for years but it won’t be like the car from thirty years ago. I will take the time to do it right, I will listen to experts who know what they are doing and I will know it is done right when it is finished. Sometimes people say they wish they could go back to when they were young. I say I would take the energy, just not all the stupidity!
