What gets done

# Chapter 184

Yesterday was only a half day of travel so I was still able to squeeze in a 26 miler outside before hunkering down and getting to work on the farm. We moved the final third of the truck we are rebuilding, into the shop for initial disassembling and assessment. And of course moving that big thing required that we get the tractor involved and then the 20 foot trailer. Then jacks and sawhorses and 2x10’s were employed. This is one of the beautiful things about being here, we have the right tools and equipment to do the work.

This is life on the farm and in the auto rebuilding shop in the coronavirus world. You stay at home with long-term projects that keep you focused and engaged, and you order whatever parts you need and have them delivered. Every spot on the planet seems to be a hotspot for the virus right now and this is definitely not a good time to get the 80 year old parental out into public.

But the reason for telling this story about the bed of the truck that we are rebuilding is that it has been 11 months since we started! In a normal part-time rebuilding project we would still be a year from getting to this part of the truck. Yet this project got a lot more attention than it normally would have in the course of life in 2020 and so we are much farther along.

Whatever gets our attention, gets done.
