LDs Can Be Troublesome August 06, 2021, 02:52:52 pm I remember a few years ago, Larry W. mentioned that he finds LD projects on nearly every trip. I thought to myself “I’ll never be like that.” (His post is around here someplace).Sadly I’ve succumbed to that same disorder which clinically is referred to as “Our LD Will NEVER, EVER Be Completed” Syndrome. It’s a rather time consuming disorder characterized by an empty wallet and a persistent examination of anything that could benefit from a tweak or upgrade. I could probably benefit from some form of therapy or at least some medication.So what are we doing tomorrow? I’ve not saying anything. 😇 14 Likes

Re: LDs Can Be Troublesome Reply #3 – August 06, 2021, 08:43:59 pm Ed-Happens on the SOB side, too. Worse, actually... less well-built, more "features" to break.At some point after we bought the LD, my wife said: "I didn't realize we were buying you a science experiment."One fellow on a different forum has a signature on his "handle" that I appreciate each time I read one of his posts. It says: "To the engineer, the world is a toy box full of sub-optimized and feature-poor toys."Final comment: Recovery began the moment I said to myself: "Sometimes it's better to leave things alone."Mark H. 8 Likes
Re: LDs Can Be Troublesome Reply #4 – August 07, 2021, 01:26:06 am Ed, we keep a long list in my phone on the notepad app and check off things that are done ✔ Alas new items are added with great fervor so it is hard to keep up but we are working away at it. Karen~Liam 98 ~ MB NinA

Fortunately, it can be controlled by yielding to your obsession and going with the flow. No matter how perfect your LD is, there are always little things that would make it even better.One side effect is a better-looking or functioning LD, fine-tuned to your needs.Larry 10 Likes

Re: LDs Can Be Troublesome Reply #8 – August 08, 2021, 07:43:38 pm OK OKMy name is glen and I'm a LDaholic. Sometimes I just unlock 'Baxter' and just sit in the back couch pondering my next upgrade. I confess the cheapest 'upgrade' was using a bit of steel wool on the exhaust. <smile> Baxter needed her exhaust pipe sparkly.......glen 3 Likes
Re: LDs Can Be Troublesome Reply #9 – August 08, 2021, 08:00:07 pm Ya had to go and post that picture of removed steps....With what started as replacing my drain baskets because of age, I am in now in the middle of resurfacing my kitchen sink, replacing the bathroom sink faucet and not nearly done......and egads....I am now going goo goo eyes over that nice black shiny repainted piece of metal. When my project desires stop, I will certainly be 6' under and still wondering how to repaint my new home. 2 Likes
