Is this art? Or pornography?

I finally got to a project that "started" about three months ago, when I took my Fisher X-100B tube amplifier out of my main stereo system and replaced it with a solid state conrad-johnson MF-80.
The Fisher had some problems (mainly one channel occasionally cutting out) that I thought could be fixed with a good spraying of contact cleaner, but I had to access the bottom of the amplifier to do it, and that made me lazy.
I finally got to it the other afternoon, and have the tube amplifier back in my system. Sometimes fixes are easier than we think they might be. Do you have any projects going that you've been lazy about finishing?

@poehere Yep, sometimes I'll go, "Oh, I haven't put polyurethane on those coasters in a few days!" Then I'll do it (it takes about a minute) and move on. It sounds so dramatic when I say my guitar sound hole coasters take weeks to make. But most of that time is just drying time for the stain and then polyurethane.

@TheHorse Can you believe it...I am on war footing to complete registration of gift deed ..that would solve the problem that the bank created. Affidavits have to be revised, and I also have to obtain a certificate from police station. The guy tells me to come after fifteen days! It is such a groan, but necessary as there can be so many mishaps due to different religions. Work simply does not move...

@Oshobu I'm heading in to work to reward myself by actually printing out and turning in a few progress notes. Then I'll come home and work on four more before seeing my afternoon kid client. Now get to work! What's your self-reward for getting some stuff done? I think I'll play my guitar.

I have no projects going yet as I've been busy working so much. I hope you get the stereo done. It's a lot of work taking them apart.

Yes! I always have something to do and one is finish painting the kitchen and put up the tile back splash ( should I cheat and buy plastic stick on`s?) . I know I need to do it but..... ... I have to clean the cabinets on the outside also and that requires a ladder or a chair, and up and down and up and down .

No projects currently but hubby is good for starting something and not finishing. He has gotten a bit better about it since he retired.

Ah yes. I have been trying to finish 2 necklaces since.... this spring! They are both summery in color and design and I was thinking about all the fun adventures my necklaces and I would go on this summer... and here it is almost fall and they're both laid out on my bead board. Ha.

I have lots of projects that is unfinished... All of them are in "the planning stage state" up until now. Like my hydroponics, my own vape juice, my diy box mod and others. I want to build them, I have the plans and and time. Unfortunately I don't have any resources to build my project now.

@Neiltarquin Well, planning counts. When will you be returning home?

Here in Saudi, I doubt it. Maybe when I am back home, I could start my projects.

I would not call it art but would call it something that needs fixing or the back needs to be put back on it.
