Shop time is therapy time for me.I enjoy making things work or work right again.I chose to become a maintainence mechanic because of it.Unfortunately my current job does not give me much satisfaction that way so my home shop is the therapy.Actually just came in from there a few minutes ago.

BTW Yes it is better than therapy,They charge big bucks for therapy but you got nothing to show for it.At least you get a cool ride out of this eventually(at least I hope).

This is the exact reason I started trying to track down my old 65,
and why I just had to get the 66 to tide me over until I find my 65.

I won't go into specifics, but my father-in-law got into a terrible accident, and soon after, my mother-in-law died.
My wife and I had to take care of everything, and I was close to loosing my sanity.
My 66 that I'm working on now, is just the outlet I needed.
