Howard, it's great to be a member of your large cheering section.

A few years ago, when I looked at my rust bucket, that's what I saw. But looking at yours, I now see the beauty, the possibilities, the finished object. All because I got out and got under for two years almost every day for 2-3 hours. I look at rust and caked on grease differently now, as a protectant. And just think, you won't have to ask questions like What is a firing order and who gives it? You know all this stuff. Quite an asset.

A couple of years ago when I wasn't in my 70s I could have kicked myself more than a couple times for forgetting to grab the other size wrench before I got under the car. I usually just hit my head.

It will get better. Bodies come up to the work. That's what they do. Certainly reporting on progress helps to make more progress. Plus you'll have a great record of your accomplishments, an auto narrative.
