What's it like to have a day off?

It's been another busy Saturday, I think for me every day is busy. A day off work isn't a day off. I had several things I wanted to do today. My truck radiator was leaking,  bought a new one which arrived Thursday. Figured I'd do the timing belt while I had the radiator out.  Did not go as planned. I needed a tool to remove the damper pulley, went to the shop and made one. Came back, took off the pulley and broke the crank position sensor bracket. Back to the shop to do some welding. Instead of two hours it took close to six. Wanted to do some work on the engraving table, I did get a table built for it to set on. In the process blew a seal on my framing nailer. That will wait for repairs, I hadn't used it in probably 3 years.  Wanted to do some work on the grafting trays, didn't happen. I do have some blanks cut out but need to bend and install hinges. Maybe Monday evening. I did get a modified Langstroth box made for a club member who received some flow frames as a gift.  I also wanted to cut wood for my incubator but that didn't happen. We're doing a build day at the club tomorrow so maybe then. Even though I didn't get everything done it was still a pretty good day. So thankful for the skills and resources to fix my truck. Thanks dad for those years in the garage.
