102364 "Alan N. Graham" <ang1235@s...> 2002‑01‑26 RE: Reflections On One Galoot's Progress
This is known as a relapse, or "galootus retro-itis". I also find it
also strikes when the weather is nice but the shop is extra messy, and
it is easier to hunt for more than clean up what you have.  8-)

To which I say 'amen and amen'.

I find myself wavering (amid occoasional Normite lapses) among
stages 3, 4, and 5 depending on the day of the week, the phase
of the moon, and the temperature in the shop. It's much easier
to acquire tools when the temperature in the shop is 10 above
(-12 C) and I'm out of kerosene.
