Learning from one's (or someone else's) mistakes and other laughable thoughts

"In other words, tie the project to equipment you have always wanted. If you want a radial arm saw, tell your wife that you want to put a second story over the garage, and your skill saw is insufficient. You want a new cordless power drill? Then build a bookcase. If you want a new pickup truck, add on to the garage. This last item is a great idea because there is a circular logic to it. That is, you need the truck to haul the materials from the lumber yard, and you need the garage space to shelter your new truck. It's perfect."
Thank you - this is a great read.
