Killing time while waiting for parts

[jon_0_3]

Hey guys just wondering how you kill time while waiting for your parts that you ordered. I live in wisconsin so shipping takes some time. Im in the process of building a 2276 and all my parts are coming from Cali. Right now Im waiting for my orders to processed and then shipped. I keep checking my emails for any updates on the orders and its killing me.

Thats why you should always double your budget, buy two of each.

this is a good time to figure out just what you forgot and order it.and some other stuff you need/want. and get everything ready for when the stuff hits the doorstep.

There is snow on the ground here so I got plenty of time before the car will be back on the road. Only thing I can do with out being outside is build the motor.

I spend that time cleaning and detailing the parts that I already have. I wait for shipping a lot, which explains why my engine is so clean....

Other than what's already been said, sitting in front of the computer just like you're doing now.

Spend a lot of time looking at everyone else's projects second guessing myself that I should have went bigger with everything.

It took me 2 months just do decide 2276 vs 2332. I will prob start to look at other peoples and continue to add to my want list of other parts.

I have other hobbies but I do IT work so I am always in front of my computer checking in on things.

Well, I order what I need, the parts come in, and then sit around until I can find time to install them. I have enough stuff to keep me busy for a good while. So, I guess technically I'm not waiting on parts ... the parts are waiting on me.

I like to keep at least a couple of sets of most tuneup parts on the shelf.

I do things around the house so I don't get dragged out of the barn when in the middle of things once the parts come
