I personally enjoy the build and then the pride of accomplishment.

My challenge is that I started the project, with the intention of father/son time, which we did get. And my son liked it so much he decided to start his own project. Unfortunately my project has taken a back seat.

Call it divided loyalties. His projects are for a vehicle that he needs to drive and can't have down for an extended period of time, my project is for something that doesn't need to run right away. I wish I could think about the build all the time, but that isn't realty for me at the time, too much else going on.

My son has learned that cars and trucks are something to challenge him and get enjoyment from. Good lesson. And his desires and ability to do the things he wants to do himself are limited, by budget, by talent, and by other priorities. Another good lesson. And he has learned that he has way more desires then budget. OUCH, that lesson REALLY HURTS!!

I knew that I could do my project, I had the expertise, creativity, tools, funds and support from others who have done more than I can, or will do. So I'm OK letting it go for now to support my son's needs.
