New projects or honey-do lists?

My honey-do list seems to grow faster than a colony of rabbits on Viagra. The latest project is repairing a deck destroyed by an ice **** that broke loose from the roof. It was a freak accident because it was overhanging the gutter by 4' with 8' still on the roof. We got home late one night and I was going to take a picture the next morning. When it broke it flipped and landed against the cabin. Enough damage that the insurance company issued a large check without sending an adjuster or engineer (coronavirus restrictions) with the understanding that an invoice could be sent if additional money was needed. The insurance company is USAA and I have been with them for over 40 years because they have earned my trust.

It is nice when I get frustrated trying to build or fix things I can go to the shed and break things to my hearts desire. This is a blessing that many individuals do not get to enjoy. To my disappointment, my wife does not consider this part of a honey-do list. The secret to life is balance, you need to find the right ratio of things you break to the things you fix. The wife believes in a ratio of 1 to 1, I am leaning towards a 1,000 to 1.
