Triumph TR3- Project Update

Yesterday I turned on the garage heater and went out for an hour and a half and cleaned up my work space. My workbench was very crowded, dirty and covered with tools and parts as was the floor which really contributed to my sense of chaos!!! I had set my self an intention to clean up the space prior to my leaving on vacation next week. I really didn't want to leave things in a chaotic state any longer so it was "heads down" to get the work done. The CKUA tunes proved to be an excellent backdrop to the work....an enjoyable time for sure....

I realized this morning (based on a review of my blog entries) I have not been doing anything Triumph wise for over a month-wow times flies....Other priorities (many of which were truly higher priorities (caring for an ailing parent, end of the season yard clean up, contract work etc) continue to impact any available time to be spent on the project which in tern impacts the reassembly timeline. The project completion date continues to get pushed out...

Through the act of the cleaning up I started to contemplate where I am at with project and some largely constructive "self talk" ensued. I do firmly believe I am "over the hump" with respect to the difficult aspects of the reconstruction and but I also realize I really need to focus on my life priorities and be very discriminating with respect to how I spend my time over the winter. In order to complete the reassembly I need to take the position working on the Triumph is a high priority and that I should allocate appropriate segments of time on a daily basis to meeting my goals and completing the necessary work. In principle there are no "apparent" barriers that will prevent me from doing so. I have the skill set and with my contract work commitments for 2011 being largely completed (my last 2 days of work are this week) the time to refocus my attention. I am really going to need to be disciplined with my approach!!!
