Well, one actually. It all started innocently enough - I was drinking a few beers in the garage when I should have been doing something productive and then focused on my spare set of aluminum heads. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Hell, it couldn't take that long to knock 'em out, right? What a pain in the ass! I should've known better - I've polished a bunch of stuff, from parts on my kid's BMX bike to a jet pump. Every time I vow I will never do it again. And suddenly I'm elbow-deep in black shit. Too deep to quit. Know how hard it is to get enthused and finish something that you hate doing? I was choosing lawn work over sanding on that rough-cast aluminum with a billion nooks and crannys that were imposssible to get a tool in. Well, it took a while and my fingerprints have been sanded into nonexistence but I'm calling the first one done. But now I have to start on the second head 'cause I finally have all the parts to assemble my spare motor. Having someone else polish stuff is worth every single penny.

Real Pretty! Trouble is, you gotta do the other one! Why is when we do something like this before and say "never again", we do it again? Why is that? What's wrong with us? Many of us need mental help. I know I do. idea
