Yes. I was depressed. I decided to walk. I struggled with tying together a package. I have made a footrest in a specific way, you see. I have an associate here from time to time. It likes to rest feet high. So i made that. I took metal screw pole, 6 mm, then drilled hole, 5.5 mm, cut metal, scew it in, 5 cm into it, 60 cm tall legs. Then drilled hole in the wood plate at corners, 6.5 mm. Make sure the metal is only 3 mm above when sticking through. Now place a screw end cap at the top, tight. It's tight. It fits. Took me a while to get this right.
NOW!!! I get an idea later. Buy rope. Hemp rope. 1 CM thick. TIE the four legs to the plate. Become good at tying knots, like popeye. I like learning practical things.
BUT! The plate is 40 cm wide. The legs are 20 cm wide, n 5 cm square.
So. I spend WTF 2 hours thinking, working, gett'n pissed off. I read a book, bought and read, about knots. Mostly for ships, but for anything too. Tried to read, think, understand. It is the worst book i ever read xD It explains so poorly. I did make SOME Kind of progression, yet not tight and easy. I want it EASY to understand, and TIGHT as hell.
I decided to forget the shitty book knowledge, and just work it out myself. 2 hours, struggling, working, trying. I can't believe it is so hard! ^^
I did make SOME kind of good knot n tightness. Lift it all up, shake violently, to see if it's tight n does not come loose. I tell you, it is NOT easy.
Still not properly done.
When i make that hard contribution, And then fail, i get depressed.
And then i go to a swedish wooden boat group i am part of on facebook ^^ You won't believe this. A man has posted a picture, of a boat of his, and he has tied a goddamn FENDER out of 2-3 CM thick rope. And it was incredibly comprehensive ^^ One of the most impressive pieces of work i've ever seen.

xD And then you think, how can someone be so skilled at something, and someone else be so useless? xD ^^ Lol
Nah i know i'm just ridiculing, anyone can learn, it just takes time. Knotting and tying is hard. It takes time to learn. But that was an impressive piece of work there.
And i got one of the three chuck roll steaks in the oven. Two others went in the freezer. So that's a positive.
And also ............... craziest thing happened in d2 ..................... I just respec'd my zon from tank jab fend to bowa. Start act 5 nm. Biggest problem is lack of good 1-h weapon, through entire season.
And you know what happens?
2 minutes into arreat plateau, a goddamn unique ceremonial javelin drops xD
So now i wonder if i'm going to respec back ^^ Crazy days. Crazy days.
