  • Round-to-its.

    New year. Resolution was to finish all the round-to-its I have sitting around. List got pretty big, pretty fast with some of them real labor intensive. As you can see, these are not limited to the XS. Might have to push some of these back, again.

    Replace the shaft boot I have had on the shelf for 6+months.
    Replace headlight with something that will let me see. (Done!!!)
    Find better rear shocks.
    Stainless Brake lines.
    Actually build the wall with the pile of limestone block that has been in the back yard for, hmm, 8-9 months?
    Replace the 39 year old, worn out brake rotors on my Dodge W200 (have the rotors in the pantry, 'bout a year and a half now.) Big pain, ya ever pull a Dana 44 apart? It ain't no fun.
    How about that leaky rear pinion seal, have the parts. Might as well do that, as the rotor job will down the truck for at least two weeks
    Replace the surge brake assembly on my boat trailer (should be easier than the rotors on the truck) But, if I have good brakes on the truck again, do I REALLY need trailer brakes? Hmmmm.
    Start the build on the vintage Taco mini bike sitting in the corner of the man cave. That ones about two years old.
    Put up rain gutters before the rainy season so my front porch dosen't become a wading pool after each rain.

    These are just some the "bigger" round-to-its. I have actually knocked out a bunch of the the little ones. Maybe I need to pace myself more.
    When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g Hardbagger

    For me, round-to-it lists always seem to grow exponentially to the speed at which they are accomplished. One may make some progress but the next thing you know, the list is twice as long.

    Good luck,

        To "done "lists

        That is why I make "To done lists"
        At least I can feel as though I am making some headway
        It also helps me to not do the same thing twice,

          round to it

          Take a conduit knock-out, stamp "to it" on it, ask your friend if they ever had a project they would do when they got around to it, and give them the knockout. Might make them laugh a bit. My pastor almost fell over laughing.
