I sometimes (many times actually) kick myself for my indecisive nature as I flit here and there getting my plan together. I am starting to think; "heck, this is part of my plan!" So as I approach the design of an ILT (due in 4 weeks) I have spent the first 2 days brain dumping, searching for inspiration, and a lot of sketching ... Fear strikes ...then I realize that this is all part of the plan ...going forward - all project plans will have 5% added for a task titled "flitting" or something like that ...

For me, mowing the lawn is about making it look presentable especially if we're having guests over (which happens a LOT). Like your son, I am beerless and I work in straight lines.
