Overall I'm not very motivated, Happens to me. Current situation in the world doesn't help.
Same here, I have to push myself to do normal things. I go on news blackouts for days at a time, it just bogs me down, I can only take so much bad news. I tend to get lost in minor jobs that I can spend time on and doesn’t require much thought.
For example, I have a pair of old fashioned hedge clippers , you know the ones that look like big scissors, I’ve had em forever. I don’t think I’ve ever cleaned or sharpened them. Well a couple days ago I took them apart and cleaned twenty years of built up sap and rust off of them , worked on them with a Dremel and wire wheels, Rolock discs, you name it, I did it. I put a nice sharp edge on them , you could easily remove a finger with it now.
They absolutely gleam now, then I greased all the hinge points and oiled the blades and hung them back up. I hardly ever use them , I use my big electric one. So why did I do it? because it occupied my mind for about three hours!
Hey man, just trying to ride this mutha out!
