Late last night I had a health scare. I will spare you of all the details but I honestly thought at the time it was my last night on earth. After about an hour or so I realized I was getting better and would more than likely live on. My darkest thoughts at the time was how could my son and brother contend with all my loose end projects? I'm not ready to die and my house is not in order. I'm probably the worse on this issue having worked nearly 20 years at a job with rotating 12hr shifts an hour away from home. My eyes and ego have always been better than my means so I have ended up with a lot of unfinished projects that only I know the status of and where the parts are.
I suppose none of us are ever ready to die but in my particular case it would be messy. Some things I can't help such as the price of stocks I have purchased but others I do.
This is just another reminder that regardless of our age our days are getting shorter and that 20 year project of fixing the gutter probably won't get finished. If not fixed by now it's best to face reality and hire someone. Many of you have discussed reducing your gun herd. I'm not there yet, in fact I'm on the other side of it with many rifle and pistols to put together that I have accumulated parts for.
In summary we need to finish what we can and sell off things we will never use or give them to family members. As obvious as these facts are last night was a real wake-up call for me.
