The past several days I have been comparing my life as it was 40 years ago versus today. Back then I had one car, lived in an apartment, had no real toys or tools, and I frequently felt bad because there were all these things I wanted to have but I didn't have the money to buy them or anyplace to keep them.
Skip ahead to the present, and I sometimes feel bad because I have so much s*** now I sometimes resent taking care of everything. In the past few days:
Replace battery on Buick.
Get new tires installed on Saturn
Repair slow leak on JD front tire
Add spare tire mount to utility trailer
Replace tiller drive belt
Rebuild garden gate
Replace broken handle on push mower
Replace starter rope on gas blower
Sharpen chainsaw
Repair keyless entry on garage door
Etc.
The more stuff you have, the more time and money you are going to spend taking care of that stuff. Sometimes I think I was better off NOT having a lot of what I dreamed about having 40 years ago...:laughing:
