Musings

On Saturday I moved the chassis back into the garage...I was concerned about exposure to the elements by leaving it in the driveway...time spent: 45 minutes ( I had to remove the rear wheels again to move the chassis under the body stand...)..time well spent...

I am presently in the midst of another major project-decluttering our basement which is detracting from me getting back to the Triumph assembly. The job has a big scope as there are many tasks to complete...my wife and I are on a 31 day timeline (we are making good progress-now on day 7) to remove all unwanted and unused stuff and free up space to maximize her art studio efficiency...a much needed enhancement and a very logical priority....

I hope to sneak out to the garage for an hour or two today and do some sorting of parts and clean up of the space...I also plan to move a better stereo out there (the components are presently stored in my basement) as the existing unit is cumbersome to use and doesn't have very good sound...

I continue to ponder the whole "project management" aspect of rebuilding old cars. Making the work a priority and knocking off tasks to get me closer to completion...As I have discussed earlier I can see why so many project cars get abandened...reality sets in with respect to skills, money, scope and most importantly time...I don't want my project to become a statistic in the abandoned project car world...

While in the garage yesterday I realized "once again" my tools are in a state of disaray which is a distraction to me....I need to focus on this aspect today...
