I'm uninspired...Oh the humanity!

it’s like a good cry—cleans out the cobwebs and helps you get refocused.

Poor Me Blues
I’ve got the Poor Me Blues
Pity me, feel sorry for me
Can’t you see my sad state?
Pick me up, shake me off,
Take care of all my woes
‘Cause it’s all too much for me
When I have the Poor Me Blues
I’m so overwhelmed
When I have the Poor Me Blues
Tomorrow is another day
But today is just another day
When I have the Poor Me Blues

I agree Wayne, but the left front brake caliper in my truck just seized which led the the downward spiral of vacuum seals, left front hub, upper and lower balljoints and both calipers and rotors. I’ll have to throw the old parts in a systainer and call it a day. My fall tool budget went into the front end of my truck 10K past warranty. Yeah yeah yeah…I whined and complained and flapped my arms, but looking like a potato with a spiderman costume just doesn’t have the kind of clout at the local garage as it has in the world of crime.

Ouch! Reminds me of the time my daughters boyfriend decided to try to burn out in our Tahoe. 5K out the door for a new rear-end…. Did not find out root cause for a year after it happened.

Debbie, but I want inspiration! Stuff doesn’t provide it, nor does it provide happiness. Though I have to quote a comedian that I heard and it made me laugh, “Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it will buy a jetski…you ever see someone riding a jetski that wasn’t happy?”

Jetski’s are about as pesky as mosquitoes. :(

ok then, Tom… you DO have two ears to hear the Spirit of the Wood and you DO have a lovely family ready to admire anything your hands create… and you DO have two eyes to see the beauty lying on and in a piece of wood… and you DO have a nose to smell the sweet smell of freshly cut lumber….. and you DO have a creative mind, able to envision a 3-d masterpiece using some linear pieces of wood…...

and then I think back at what you have contributed to this LJ community—- YOU…. ARE…. An INSPIRATION!!!!

Hmmmm. Jet Skis. Those are a poor man’s skeet target, right?

I came home to a $350 car repair bill today. Daughters car. I was told after the fact. Karma I guess.

Wood you guys quit writing about auto repairs.

I reject it. I reject it. I reject it.

There now I feel better.

I’ve spent the last 3 days walking into the shop looking around and walking out. It must be the heat.

I went out tonight to make a parts list for my joinery project. I picked up some wood today for.

I know ; I know; You are saying Karson went out to get some wood. What is this world coming to. But since I can’t glue anything together I just had to get that 48” piece of Mahogany. LOL

We must be living in paralell universes, left front wheel sensor on my Silverado just went bad causing failure of ABS system. Almost plowed thru the garage door. Sometimes wish my skills extended into the mechanics realm, but alas my tool fund is depleted also.

Hi Mot;
—-’lateral thinking’....more, more and more lateral thinking….getting outside the box….

Like the word ‘anisotropic’.....and so I climbed out of my box and decided to write these words of a wood play….

——’anisotropic is wood’,
and as such is found in the forest of woods that surround me,
i lost the sense of measuring direction in the grains of being mis-understood,
so while ‘outside’ in lateral position i partook of inspiration from all i could see….

....and then for those who wait, inspiration comes bearing the fruit of imagination….

GODSPEED,
Frank

Thanks Frank. Wonderful words again!

I’m there as well. I have really been wanting to finish a project that was started several weeks ago. Instead, I find myself frustrated with all the shop chores that I’ve been neglecting. I’ll finish a step of the project and look towards the next task only to discover that I need to sharpen, clean, or start a search for a needed tool. I’ve put the project aside and told my wife that her Mother’s Day (yeah I know, a little late) gift is on hold. I think I’m going to take the next month to really finish the remodeling job I started many months ago. I got towards the end and got anxious to do some real work. Should’ve saw the job through.

I was going to agree as it has been rather humid around here lately.

When I feel like that I watch some David Marks. That man’s skills inspire me.
