When do you build?

[campmaster-k]

I tell myself every day that I will work on my build today after work, but after work is hot. Got to make dinner. Got to mow lawn. The only time I get to work on my tear is early on Sunday mornings.

I'm disabled. I do what I can when I can. If it is a few days between doing a little something, it is what it is.
It's like life... gotta keep chugging along.

Being a retiree, I am fortunate to go out into the workshop and continue the engineering and construction of whatever teardrop is presently on on my sketch pad. Having lost the love of my life of 56 years, I find that working on my TD is my therapy and keeps my body off of the couch, my mind away from the TV (and out of this big, empty house). Of course, actually camping with a TD, helps me get my "People Fix" and just to see some stranger smile and laugh, does something for the old heart. It gets one's mind off of sad thoughts and refreshes the mind and body.

I am constantly amazed at the fine trailers that are being built by many others not fortunate enough to have the spare time that we retirees have. I don't think I could remain focused enough to press on with a build that would take a couple of years, if I could only work on it after supper and on weekends. Cudos to those that hang in there for the long run. Now, away from the PC and out into the shop, more woodworking problems to solve and some recent mistakes to be hidden by a hand-carved mustache. :-)
Roly, (What, 100 degrees in my So Calif shop!!!, maybe I'll wait until after supper too.)

Slow I have always like John Deere petal tractors, so when I see one I always ride it. My wife thinks its funny to take pictures of me when I do it. I dont care and the kids who happen to be around always get a kick out of seeing an adult on the tractor.

Roly sorry to hear about your wife, its great that you had so many years together.

I cant wait until my tear is built then I can tinker on it and it will be more short term fun projects.
