The idea is if you put a little of time in on your projects, they are not
stalled. Even if you just clean bolts. It's all progress.

From: Bob Spidell via Healeys <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2021 10:51:32 -0800

Related, I think: My dad had a heart attack in his 50s--wouldn't go to 
the doctor for four days, until my mom insisted--a quintuple bypass a 
decade later, colon cancer (surgery and ostomy bag) and throat cancer 
(radiation). Through it all I never once heard him complain or feel 
sorry for himself (except he told my mom he wouldn't go through the 
throat cancer treatment again, which was brutal and had serious 
aftereffects). Through it all, he managed to complete the restoration of 
an old fire engine and donate it back to the FD from whence it came and, 
of course, our 100M. After he died I asked my mom "What kept him going, 
when many would have 'thrown in the towel'." She answered "He had things 
he wanted to do." He made it to 87-and-a-half.

May we all have things we want to do.
