FAIL!

Instead, I used the time I had specifically set aside to do this work to go on a big, unplanned sailing trip.

FAIL! and FAIL!

Instead of doing these things, I completely neglected both of those vehicles after exhibiting a spectacular failure of impulse control by buying the UFO (2000 Honda Insight 5-speed) from a used car dealer out in the country. ("Must ... have... ultimate ... nerdmobile!")

And the 2010 mods I never got to are still on the to-do list.

Thus my new rallying cry: Too Many Projects!

(But I'm having fun.)

I hear you, I'm on the same band wagon. If everything just didn't take so long to finish/accomplish!

2 people over-promising and under-delivering!

We should start a political party.

I got a good start w my recent forced move: Forced to condense, w the exception of 2 cars stored outside, and 4 motorcycles stuffed in a 10X10 gazebo, all that remains is my beloved 1st gen CRX, and my '85 6.2 Suburban in which I hope to combine business/travel.

My other stuff is mainly in clear plastic bags, which makes up 2 3/4 Suburban loads. 2/3rds
of that I could eliminate with a hard core not touched in 2 yrs rule!

Would love to earn the $ needed for the diesel conversion of the '84 VW Quantum wagon
55+mpg on trips!

Proud that I don't own one piece of furniture except for a folding chair!

Still have a gleam in my eye w thoughts of living in a custom car trailer w
everything light weight, folding out of the way, my car, and motorcycles
in this portable by choice garage, w freedom to move anywhere at any time
w reasonable mpg, and comfort!
