Giving up on a project.

sometimes I wish I could do what you are thinking of doing but I can’t. I’m just to stubborn to let someone touch my junk. It’s bad enough I won’t let them touch my engines, transmissions, race car but I need front brakes on my 3/4 ton diesel truck, bathtub faucets, etc. it will probably get to the point where it will force me to give up racing. It hurts to see the writing on the wall.

I did hvac and plumbing for a few years in my 20s. There isn’t much in my house that can break that I can’t have fixed in an afternoon. I’ve fought with broken bolts longer than it takes me to change a water heater. That’s the problem I got into. The final straw for me was the junction of the hard line and the brake hose on the front brakes. I fought that thing for hours and finally just said I’m done. Pure defeat.
