Coop's excellent weekend

By Mark Frauenfelder at 12:25 pm Tuesday, Apr 4

Coop wrote a great recap of his activities last weekend, which included shopping for car parts and tools to repair his '29 Sedan, and then fixing it at Mr. Jalopy's Garage. He discovered a sure fire way to beat the blues is by hanging out with friends, shopping for cool stuff, and using your hands to do something.

Is your life empty and unfulfilling? Looking for a way to tamp down those ever-present feelings of existential despair? You might try emptying out your toolbox, and spending the afternoon cleaning and rearranging the contents. If you can follow that up with a Sunday afternoon spent fiddling with the workings of an old car, followed by shoving around heavy things in a friend's garage, why you're getting darn close to nirvana, my friend. That's exactly how I spent my weekend, and lemme tell you, it was a profoundly satisfying, dare I say, even a spiritual experience.
