Default Sorting the men from the boys!

Hey,

Hey, there are many times during a project when you feel like giving up, especially when you have just made a howler!! Or when you are scratching your head trying to do something.

I find the best way is to walk away from the project, go out on the Harley for a few days, mow the lawn, take the dogs for a walk. Sometimes, I walk away for a month or so and get all those jobs round the house that need finishing done.

I often find that when I am asleep the problem is running through my mind and in the morning I have got the answer, or several answers, or when I am concentrating on something different my mind drifts back and the problem is solved.

But, for me this is what sorts the men out from the boys, the that can and have from the wanabes, I am proud that I have the tenacity to see these things through and admire all those that have gone before, and will follow.
VAF is a great source of inspiration, of answers and of people from all over the world willing to help.

Its amazing what an individual can achieve but when we work together and help each other its fantastic. Keep drilling those holes and pounding the rivits.

Default One bite at a time

You can eat an elephant one bit at a time. Finding time is the hard part, building is easy but a steady process if you can find a way to do a little something every day. It's supported to be enjoyed. Pilots are goal oriented by nature. If only cleaning up the shop, looking at the plans, do a little everyday.
And go fly. Some guys regret the the time spent flying with a buddy when they could be building. But getting some air will recharge your efforts. Go to Oshkosh if at all possible or at least talk to somebody who did. If you do a little everyday you will finish.
