I'm in a funk today. Computer shit has kept me in knots all day, and made me miss 3 deadlines... which don't go away, they just become twice as urgent tomorrow, when I have other deadlines to meet. Sheesh...

I have also firmly hit my mid-life crisis, I think. I don't want to do my current job because it "isn't important", but I don't want to look for another jobby job... I want to do something meaningful. But I have a lot of experience in the tech industry, which is boring and dead and unimportant and life-suckingly commoditized nowadays.

So I'm buying an old beater motorcycle this weekend, with plans to do a RestoMod on it in my shop. Tear it down. Rebuild it. Modify it significantly. Probably turn it into a pile of scrap and sell it for 1/10th of what I put into it... but I may learn something.

Stay groovy Hubskites.

Wish I had something to help man.... other than "I'm right there with ya."

Would love to see progress (or deconstruction as it were).

I think I'll definitely have to blog the process.

If for no other reason, than to increase the value of the final vehicle by showing the full process and documenting all of it!
