Thanks… I guess…I do a lot of planning for some projects, e.g., the engine house and my track planning, but I do have a bias for action. I'm more of a "Cruise Missile Manager"… ready, fire, aim. I get a direction, do some planning, start working and do a lot of field mods to make it all come together. It's why I'd fail as a kit manufacturer. My models would be hard to build out of the box.
I also practice "Test Pilot Problem Solving". When the plane's going down you try A, B, C, D, E….until you pull out or auger in. I've said this a million times… I am impatient, which is why I get into projects quickly, but am also very persistent, since I finish what I start regardless of the obstacles.
I have a close friend who never got his railroad built because he was seeking the perfect track design. There is no "perfect". I also had an employee once who would get catatonic when handed a new project that had a big pile of research accompanying it. He would just freeze up. I would admonish him, "Just start!" For me, a project with a big pile of stuff was just a good, target-rich, environment. Some of my most successful work endeavors started as a huge pile of stuff to wade through. I'm an optimist. If I see a big pile of manure, I know there's a pony buried in there somewhere.
That's my philosophical crap for today! It will be a truncated session since we have a routine doctor's visit to attend to. And the weather here in L'ville sucks, with a "Wintry mix" including freezing rain. "Wintry Mix" reminds me of a nice box of Christmas Chocolates.
