Some days you just have to do the things.

Ignore the obstacles and push forward.

Today that thing that I needed to do was finally disposing of my father’s motorcycle bits and pieces. Bikes were a big part of my father’s life, he trained as a mechanic, he raced bikes, he rode them his entire life. He even used to photograph me on them, or maybe it was just an excuse to take more bike pictures.

All the valuable ones went years ago, and it was mostly just bits and pieces and a few frames left. I was caught in the trap of placing sentimental and financial value on what was left, but to move forward they had to go.

And the only way to do that without help to lift them is with a reciprocating saw. I’m not going to pretend that it was cathartic or depressing, it was just a job that I was putting off.
