Thurs.05.10.06. No, it’s not going to happen. Inertia has re-surfaced. Another day of walking backwards. I have given up on the latest ‘Programmes of Work’ list. Compared with the progress that was achieved yesterday the 8 hours of graft today has produced little. It may be due to the nature of the whole job. Perhaps it is a case of many hours of seemingly treading water sooner or later would result in the targets being reached?
We have tumbled back to the bottom of the ladder with the inevitable prospect that it has to be climbed once more. It has become another endless catalogue of the incomplete. The bonnet is almost finished, the location of the petrol tank has been tested against the route of the exhaust, the boot box has been mocked up in cardboard, the handbrake mechanism tested, the stage two head and road race cam have been considered, the callipers have been cleaned and polished, the seat baskets rust proofed and lastly, the design of the dashboard has been pondered yet again.
In retrospect I have been hasty, impatient and probably frustrated. The project has moved forward albeit in a disjointed manner. The fable of the ‘Tortoise and the Hare’, the need to ‘break eggs to make an omelette’, there is always ‘work in progress’, and don’t forget the classic “it depends which side of the oxo cube you are looking at?” all spring to mind.
