Boat Building Forum
Find advice on all aspects of building your own kayak, canoe or any lightweight boats
: I used to think I was living a meaningful and fruitful
: life/fantasy, but as I get older, and I see what aging has done
: to my parents, I sometimes have a moment of panic that I am
: wasting time and have not pinned down my task for this life. Is
: living a happy life, being famous only amongst one's friends,
: enough to leave behind for posterity? Maybe a little
: dissatisfaction, struggle and discomfort gets one off one's
: complacent ass and is a goad to achieving a useful legacy.
: On the other hand, perhaps it is enough to love one's family, joke
: around and give doubtful advice on kayak building forums, and
: build the occasional toy boat. The only really useful byproducts
: of excessive overachievement by societies driven by competition
: that I can easily identify being: epoxy resin and the ROS.
: In the end though, isn't it all about communicating and
: brotherhood? Well siblinghood really, Joy and Violet being
: honorary brothers. And what a brilliant medium this forum and
: group of friends is to achieving that in its own very civilized
: and gentle way.
: If anyone feels this is off topic I would draw your attention to
: the subject: Head, heart or wallet. It is only the wallet I have
: not addressed.
: My mother in law is visiting at the moment and I have not seen much
: of my wife Pam in the last few weeks as they have been out and
: about. Hence the messing around on the forum in the last little
: while, and now the introspection. Usually, as you all well know,
: I am exceedingly shallow.
: Et
Ha! Good post. BTW, IMO, introspection works best when lubricated with a Guinness. YMMV
