There's a chance- well, there's always been a chance- that I can or will stumble upon a solution. I likely won't even know what it is that I did that made it work or the whys... not that at this point I care much about that. Just wanting it to go. The importance of making this weekend's charity ride has waffled from 'would be cool' to 'wanna gotta'. Mostly because positive thinking and energies aside, I really didn't think it would be possible. Not from the build standpoint but from the financial one. And there's still things to be bought, no doubts there, but once I decided I wanted to really give it a good and try my best to make it happen, I borrowed a few coins to get the needed battery and put my head down.
Here's how my brain works. Or how I solve things. Or work on things. And I'm never saying this is the best way or the right way. Practically never. But still, it's the way my brain waves. Instead of installing all the stuff; lights, gauges, signals, all at once... and then doing the wiring. I, instead, want to get the wiring good and solid with the old stuff. And then change this cluster or that light, make sure it's working, move on to next, etc. It's less about the overall and more about the small steps. Plus it's also a smaller chunk of change; the whole thing works, so let's change this one part which looks better and cooler and right(er), turn it back on and see that the whole thing still works. Only now with the new piece. It's easier to track problems this way, too, since I'm only changing one thing at a time, if something is amiss, it's gotta be that thing.
So it may take longer to do it this way, but it's my thing. I like to see change. I'm a visual guy. Plus, that's the fun stuff anyway. No one (read: me) likes to spend time working up the internals of something that, although improved upon, will ultimately not look any different. Well, except maybe engineers, or doctors, nurses, teachers, counselors... but nevermind them.
I'm definitely not one of them.
