More therapeutic than most thing is taking on a project that you know squat about and finally having an "accomplished moment" when it is done.

You and I are in the exact same boat man. That’s why I tear everything I own apart constantly and make it “better”. Keeps my hands and mind occupied which makes life better by far.

That said, at least you forgot to hook yours up. A few months ago I forgot to take mine off and broke that **** right st the fitting pulling the tank up haha.

Today, I'm riding into work, and all the sudden Android Auto shoots and error and goes off. Then I try to switch to Bluetooth audio, and it only wants to connect to call audio, not music. It sounded good for the short time it worked.
