Motivation vs Weather

Anyone else have a severe drop in motivation for projects and whatnot when the weather turns to ****? Personally I have zero energy or drive, but I'm from Texas where there is actually sun and warmth this time of year. Getting ready to get out of the Navy and move back home after 8 years, the list of things to do is substantial and the drive to do so is stuck in park.

Hell it took me three hours just to get off my butt and move the trailer into the garage. Needs new tires, wheels could use some paint, and the roof seams are due for some fresh sealant and paint. I got as far as airing up the tires and using the Ex to stuff it in the garage, and that was it. Ugh.

No offense to the locals, but I freaking hate this state. At least this side of it. Gonna nudge Liberty out of the way for a minute, Give me SUN or give me death!

I agree with you on the weather. I grew up (not really) here and lived in Az for a couple years, constantly kick myself for moving back here.

But the wife will be done with her MPA in June and has been looking at Az for jobs, so I'm hopeful.

May as well grease and adjust the wheel bearings on the trailer if you're already gonna pull all the wheels off.

I had completely forgotten about that, thanks for the reminder. It's been sitting around for nearly a year and being used for storage instead of paying for a unit. Ugh, I am not a fan of packing wheel bearings... but I'd rather deal with a little mess and effort than, oh, say a wheel flying off or seizing during a 2600 mile trip.

I just go the easy route and adjust then throw on a Bearing Buddy and pump it while spinning the tire, even modified the front axle caps on my truck so I can do the same thing.
