Needing inspirational help!

I just "do it". I just conceded that I will be working on projects the rest of my life - fixing cars, house, yard. Chinese Proverb - "man finishes house, man dies". In grad school, I built a garage and then an addition. I just worked from a book and read each chapter as I got to that stage - concrete, framing, plumbing, ... Today with the internet, easy to find info and advice. I had done almost everything on a car but a transmission rebuild, then I did that and it worked perfect, which is better than I can say of past experience with high-priced tranny shops. It is more stressful for me to pay big money for someone to screw up your stuff then pick their nose in front of you with an attitude or deal with a little dweeb service manager in a suit. I find sites for my newer cars where owners have figured out all the modern engine controls and trouble-shooting when people originally thought we would be dependent on shops. There are many people who know and share, the problem is getting people who ask questions to read and process information, and do the legwork. Think of the answers more as clues to help in your own search.
