Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
I havent worked on my truck in 3 to 4 weeks... WHat is wrong with me.. I just SIT on the couch and watch the beautiful tv. Its SO cold in my shop, so i installed a heater. I installed the heater more to heat the shop so i can paint when needed.
I just can NOT get off the damn couch to do anything.. I just turned 34 and i think im getting lazy..... er. Lazyer. ahaha.... Anyone else suffer this affliction? |

I have been kinda busy, just not on the truck. I installed the big wall heater, installed new carpeting on my shelf. I moved my flat screen to a different room and have to build a big shelf for it...... Just nothing on the truck. |

Re: Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
I'm right at your age and go through the same thing from time to time. Here is the scoop on fixing it. You need to add an incentive to the garage. Put in cable and a TV, Tune in to "The Girls Next Door". I find that when the commercials come on i work until one of the girls giggles or I hear the word naked. If your working under the truck turn the TV upside down so you don't have to get off the floor.

Re: Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
Just wait until you retire. You'll find that you didn't have enough time before you retired and even less after you retire. If you are retired, you know what I mean. Otherwise, get your truck fixed/restored/whatever while you still are working full-time.

Re: Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
Well if you cant muster up the courage to get up and work, drink some Beer (liquid courage) and if it doesnt help, at least you will be more relaxed
![]() I suffer from babysitting my 1 yr old daughter and desling with my 5 yr old son when hes back from school. I am a stay at home dad that misses working (sort of) You'll come around. Good luck. Oh and the T.V. should be gone if it causes laziness IMO. Thats where you need to start.

Re: Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
NOPE! I don't have that problem.
For the 1st time in ages it's sun shiny & bright, and warm outside, I have new hardware sitting on the kitchen counter ready to go on my truck; I'm sitting here @ the freakin' computer.

Re: Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
-
I have actually been out in the shop quite a bit since I got the heater installed. I was out there all day today and sometimes I don't come in the house 'till 8:30 or 9 o'clock at night. I don't watch any TV except the 6 o'clock & 10 o'clock news so if I'm not on here I'm in the shop.... If I get a little burned out I tell myself "Just Do It"... ![]() LockDoc

I forgot to take pictures before we pulled all the old sheet metal off & I want to make exactly sure I get everything where it want it/it should be before I start drilling holes in the new stuff. I'm funny that way, so I'm also hesitant.

Re: Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
I kind of run into the same problem. Mine is not due so much to not having anything to do on the truck but more about what I have to do.
Lately is has been cleaning, stripping, priming and painting. I hate waiting for paint to dry and it's been slower with it being cold in the garage (okay not like up north or back east but cold for CA). I go out, get all set, spray on a coat of paint and I'm done for the night. Repeat again next night. So on and so on... That and working on larger, heavy parts (like the rear end) by yourself in a too crowded garage doesn't motivate me too much... Okay, that and I can be lazy. ![]()

Re: Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
I think it's the winter season that's the reason for this problem. we just need longer warmer days and you will be good to go. for now you just need willpower.

Re: Arrrgggg!!! What is wrong with me.
My truck doesnt have a rearend in it right now. I had work to do on the wifes car. I had to strap the rear of the truck down on top of the trailer to pull the truck out. Just so i can fix the wifes car. Now mind you its been sitting outside for 2 weeks. I have plenty of work to do on it. But im using the excuse of ITS TOO COLD OUT. But im also being ignorant of saying i have a wood stove...but it takes an hour to get it 60 degrees in there. I hate winter!!!!!!
