This has been welding for me. The amount of failures, small and big (like when I get under the car to mount the exhaust and I find that the second turn is actually 90 degrees off) and small (like when I’m using the last piece of stainless with the last c and I have and I forget to turn down the amps and blow a hole right through both).

It always takes me a few days of procrastination and thinking about going in the garage before I finally go and do it, by then the race is too close and I end up rushing. All that because I don’t want to confront the failures.

What’s funny is that when I complete whatever I do, the reward is so good that I don’t know why I can’t remember that feeling when I start the project.
