Why is it the closer you get to the end, the longer it seems to take?

Well guys, keep your fingers crossed. I went to the storage garage to shut off the trickle charger (after 2 weeks) and pull the battery. I was thinking about cutting the bottom out and replacing the cells inside. (New style green cap) Well, I stuck the key in it and cranked it quite a while (normal for first start in 5 months) and it worked great and fired up. I brought the battery back to life. I should buy a lottery ticket.

I am working on getting out of the oilfield but what we do has to happen no matter what.
During 2012-2014 I know for a fact that investers were manipulating the market price when I was so high.
1. You could rent the absolute biggest tankers for $15,000.00 a day.
2. There were between 5-8 of those things anchored offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
3. The game was once the price hit x. They would unload 2-3 tankers. And the price would drop. They would then purchase the contents of a tanker mid Atlantic and it would start over again. That is why they were able to keep the price so high. Once OPEC got to throwing thier weight around and tried to cripple the US oil production the shale oil actually made some major tech advances and it became cheaper to produce Sweet Crude instead of buying Sour Crude. Offshore and my industry is dieing off.
There is also more aspects to the whole game but those are ones I know of first hand.

Guy I work for is talking about filling the tanks, then shutting the wells in until the oil price comes back up.
 
Rough day. I got kicked in the teeth at every turn.

So I decided to ignore it all and focus on doing this image. Hard to do with only one good eye, but I had to plow through or I was gong to lose my mind with fear over what the day threw at me.

I’m not going to go into the details of the darkness of the day or suddenly facing my own mortality, but I will share this brightness of the joy of being able to create something that will last far beyond me.

So a bit of good news today. The rest of my engine parts all came in and the 440 is now ready to be assembled into a short block. May do that as early as this weekend. Haven’t decided.
