Mines that way. It needs a lot of stuff. But it's now at the point that it will get me to work. I consider it just as reliable as the 09 Buick suv with 100k on it. Probably more reliable, because when these old benz's "break" they tend to still get you home. If a coil pack goes out or God knows what else on the Buick I'm calling for a tow.

We sometimes aim for perfection in life, but the reality is the happiest people are just doing their thing, which may not make sense to others.

My landlord is a billionaire. Literally. I'm watching him plant a small vineyard right now, and none of it makes any sense. He won't make any money. The row orientation is wrong. The variety is a poor choice for the climate. Soil prep is non-existent.

But when he gets towards the end of his life, will he be saying "I grew the wine that I prefer and drank it!" Or will he be saying "I grew the correct variety with proper row orientation soil prep etc, but didn't enjoy drinking it?"

I think we all need to pursue our own version of crazy. You only live once. Enjoy the ride.
