Default Is there a better feeling.

Getting ready to go to my buddies house (shop) to hang out ,work a little on his Flathead 32 project,drink some beer and watch some football. Man am I pumped. It is amazing that somethings never change. 48 years old and today I feel 18.
The only other things that come close in my mind are road trips to look at potential car finds and weekend roadtrips to out of state car shows.
I know birth of kids,weddings etc.... are pretty good to so don't get me wrong, but they make me feel old.

Worth every cent I will over pay to get my Kar or whatever project I am working on done

Feel sorry for those who do not have a hobby that gives back so much...

Default such a high

i know the feeling, when i was in the parts business there was hardly ever a time that it wasnt a joy to be in the backyard at work either serving customers,ordering repl parts,unloading shipments and bs-ing with the car folks. best would be the times on sunday mornings while the wife was at church i could sneek another project into the back business area. it was a real letdown when i moved to florida and promised the wife to end all that so now i just try to limit constant car business. wes

I agree too. No better feeling. I spent last saturday in a friend's garage helping another friend change the timing belt in his DD (and watching football and drinking beer). He kept thanking us for the help. We tried to explain that we were really just having fun.

I have little kids at home though so those kinds of days are few and very far in between right now.
