    Oh the waiting!

    The worse part of wrenching is sitting there waiting with nothing more you can do until that shipment of gaskets arrives.

    No, actually the worst part is when the gaskets arrive and they are for the wrong bike.

            It's even worse to be waiting for sufficient funds to accumulate so dream projects may begin!

                Doing precisely nothing is a high level skill.
                Remember the last time you went to fix something that wasn't really broke?
