"So, realizing I’m comfortable with imperfection, the older I get the more I appreciate workboat finishes, "

Sounds like me and my old truck! I tried to get estimates for painting it but the body shop guys just laughed except for one, who quoted $2500 if I bought better doors. Then a little light went off in my head: way back in time, the US Navy taught me to paint their destroyer with a paint brush and a roller and I could do the same with my truck. I did that and get lots of complements on it, usually with the question of what year it was built.

Perfection, the enemy of excellence! …one of the few things my father said that I actually agreed with!
