<html><body>Time passes. Looking at my Rogue gallery photos, I see that I did my last restoration in 2017, Then I sold off my lift, sandblaster, etc. and many tools and also sold my 30 x72 shop in Dec. 2019-just before the S---hit the fan. In the meantime, I built an 18 x 30 garage at home, to house my four remaining Healeys.<div><br></div><div>Crammed into that space with the remaining tools, there is not much room to work on cars, although I can still do a transmission on the workbench. However, this year I decided to redo my 100 interior to make it concours correct and today it will be completed with the addition of the finished seats done by Right Way Trimming. Then what?...Hank</div><div><br><div class="reply-new-signature"></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "Steven Kingsbury via Healeys" <healeys@autox.team.net><br>To: "Perry Small"<br>Cc: "Healeys"<br>Sent: Thursday December 9 2021 8:39:35AM<br>Subject: Re: [Healeys] Is the list down or just us?<br><br>
<div>
<div>Quite the disparity of time, 30 minutes a week to 5-6 hours a
day!! I guess I fall somewhere in the middle of this. Right now I'm
pretty much finished with my BN1. I rebuilt the engine the engine
last year, first time I ever did an engine by myself, but figured
I'd tackle it one bolt at a time, make sure the torque settings
were correct and lube, lube, lube as I go. Have over 2,000 miles on
it now and though it makes a lot of noise, she runs smooth and
loves to go down the highway cruising at 80 mph. She also loves the
twisty roads and I try to get her out at least once a week for a
hundred or so miles.<br></div>
<div>I also have a MGB/GT project I'm working on now and like Ira,
I try to get 30 minutes here and there to work on it, but not
weekly, daily. Some days it's thirty minutes, some days it six
hours, but I don't beat myself up over the hours spent, I just do
what I can when I can. I'm doing a complete engine rebuild on that
car also. Figured it worked once, I should be able to do it again.
Right now I'm waiting on valve springs and the machine shop is
going to do the boring soon for 20 over pistons. <br></div>
<div>So basically, I do what I feel like. Try to stay busy and with
taking over the Advertising Manager position at AHCUSA Magazine,
I've added a little more to my plate. I do try to keep everything
fun though. Challenge is good, but frustration isn't. Luckily, I've
learned that taking the time, thinking things through and not
trying to finish every little job right now, helps keep frustration
at bay. That and just walking the beach while I think helps a
bunch.<br></div>
<div>Thanks for the question Perry, hope all is well in your world
and of course the rest of the list as well. It seems the list isn't
down, it's just walking the beach and thinking!<br></div>

<div>Good morning ladies and gents….<br></div>
<div>Hope all is well with you. Perhaps something a little
different today. <br></div>
<div>Read the subject “Is the list down” and had this
thought…..<br></div>
<div>With the daily requirements and responsibilities of life life
facing each of us every day, how do you maintain some motivation
towards your planned or ongoing projects in the garage?<br></div>
<div>I understand prioritization and even treating your hobby as a
business with set hours, etc.<br></div>
<div>But there is always that little voice that
says, <br></div>
<div>I’ll get to that tomorrow, which turns into long delays in
progress. <br></div>
<div>Curious how you approach this issue. <br></div>
