Starting my garage projects

Wow - I'm thrilled. Early in my retirement planning I began setting aside small projects for when I'd have more time to tackle them once I stopped working. Some of the projects were small. One that I set aside was fixing a cast 1/24 scale Indian motorcycle. It was given to me by my mother years ago. The bike suffered a few mishaps. More times than once, it clunked to the floor from off of a shelf. I'd put the bike and remaining parts into a box for another time. I've accumulated a few of these rainy day projects, and today was my first retirement day I spent in the garage. The motorcycle will be one of those projects I'll now have the chance to tackle. I'm in thrilled. As I started work in the garage I'm reminded of old times. I've already remembered the days when my high-school chum and I first started putting up pegboard in my garage at home. I bought hooks to go in the pegboard, we hung tools from them, and sat at the workbench bench racing. Bench racing is akin to fishermen telling fish stories at the bait shop, only specifically for motorcyclists and auto enthusiasts in their garages. It's comforting to touch the old days, and think back to my innocence. I'm very excited and so looking forward to many days down in the garage sorting through projects and bringing back precious memories.
