Projects. I was a project engineer for more than 3 decades. I brought countless projects to life, saw them to completion and closed them out. Projects start; projects end.
Work Projects that is. I also have countless personal projects, usually of a creative sort, that have never been completed, let alone closed out. I have a large graveyard of abandoned projects.
Generous folks have claimed it is because I am always in pursuit of perfection, but I know that it is due to many factors - most often a combination of dissatisfaction, change of heart, or loss of direction. Sometimes it is stumbling upon something else that seemed more exiting.
Projects all start the same: rush of an idea blooming, creative thoughts bouncing around like hailstones. Initial progress is rapid, first challenges smashed through without even a bump, each one an opportunity for creativity, imagination, and skills to shine. Glorious feelings lead to late nights, skipped meals, a real sense of accomplishment. Then a pause. A wait on materials, a missed opportunity, an emergency task, something trivial that pulls our attention away and we just don't ever seem to get back around to the project.
They'll sit waiting for us, pushed to the back of the desk, the bottom of the pile, or the garden shed. sometimes we do get back to them. Maybe a spark causes a second surge, but rarely does this happen a third time.

• geodesic dome greenhouse for my mother. All the metal work was still stacked neatly in the garage when Dad sold the house a couple of years after my mother died (started in 1992)
• my wood scale model of HMS Bounty sits on my bookcase, but noticeably missing her masts, standing rigging, and sails (started in 1989)
• my 3D printed celestial dragon - fully articulated with working claws, limbs, and sinuous body - lies slumped with a spinal design problem next to a box of 100's of body pieces, discarded leg sections (started in 2020)
• my custom inflatable exterior Halloween display - complete with it 8-foot diameter extra-dimensional wormhole and purple tentacles all sewn by me (Mrs. taught me how) lies in a large bag awaiting final assembly and testing (started in 2018)
• My screenplay for a TV series about a near-lightspeed ship heading out of our solar system towards an exoplanet, where the A.I. seems to be becoming more unstable before ultimately revealed to be a human embedded in another part of the ship acting as the navigation system, kept awake and conscious for the hundreds of years necessary for the generational ship to reach its target. Just 3 episodes out of 15 outlined, with the pilot 50% drafted (started in 1997)
• Far too many smaller projects to count.

So how about you? Do you have skeletons of uncompleted projects hanging out in your closet? Are there zombie projects waiting in a state of undeath?

This past week normalfreak gave us the weekly theme of "memorial" and we had several posts tagged with the weekly theme flair. My two favourites:
flowers are placed at a memorial outside Oslo by essen11 Something so simple can carry such a heavy message
War Memorial, Vácrátót, Hungary by LordJim11 Brilliant memorial design carrying a poignant message of loss
Also this week, a special call out to ecdolphins for his Member Essay post about total adblock and the scary dangers of zombie subscriptions.
For this week, I feel we should focus on the negative. You know, those things that everyone has had in their lives that they'd like to forget about and wish they never happened. No, not little sisters, but FAILURE ! There have been thousands of ways these things have been showcased from poor decision making, to sliding on the ice, to baseballs to the groin, if only to serve as warnings, but a literal army has been formed to highlight their awful majesty.
Please interpret this theme in any way you can and post them using the Weekly Theme flair. We always give additional credit to unusual approaches and for this week we're offering DOUBLE credit for interpretive dance.
So, see you in the comments!

2013 honda cr-v makes this buzzy/grinding sound at startup after sitting for a few hours. it does not make the sound if i turn it off and crank it up again within an hour or two. ideas?

🌷 Pandora ring (size 50). 🌷 Honda CR-V 2016 model. 🌷 Iyong kumuha ng picture.

'02 Honda CR-V with a K24. It needs new motor mounts as it sat for a while. Good tread, fluids are flushed and new gas. New transmission as reverse was acting up beforehand. I'm new to the crv thing and unsure of overall value. It runs beautifully and shifts/ drives/ brakes smooth. Anything helps, thank you. No rust, Seattle car with 8/10 interior. No kids.

I've got a 2011 Honda CR-V with about 150K miles. Over the last few weeks, I began to notice a weird noise whenever I accelerated. Around 20/25/30 MPH, a hollow whistling noise starts up that disappears when I'm in neutral or when my foot is off the gas. The noise rises in pitch with MPH until it's too high to be hear anymore. My general maintenance mechanic (brakes, filters, etc) has checked it out twice and can't figure out what it is, but he suggested it might be transmission related.
Exhaust system checks out, temps are all normal, oil was changed less than 4K ago, starts fine, etc. The only thing that is somewhat concerning is my transmission fluid color, which is looking less like Unicorn Tears Magenta and more like Extremely Weak Soy Sauce, but I'm a bit wary of doing a change since I've been told that doing so on a high mileage car can end up making things worse (the whole "metal bits = traction, no metal bits = gears slipping" thing).
I'm probably gonna have to take it in to the transmission shop near me, but if anybody has any idea what's going on, I'd greatly appreciate the input.

I was in a lease with Honda for around a year and a half, when I decided to trade in my lease, since I still had equity in it, for a new car. Sadly, my only options were to trade/sell my car to a Honda, as they don't allow lease buyouts from third-party companies.
I knew I wanted a SUV/Hatchback, and I always heard that the CR-V's are really great cars. It was super competitive when I went to look though, as two of the cars I wanted to buy, eventually got bought (one guy bought the car as I was test driving it 🥴). Every car that I was looking at was pretty pricey, I even saw a used Chevy spark go for 19K 😭😭.
Anyways, I bought a 2014 CR-V LX with about 74 thousand miles on it.The price was a little less than 20K. It's super clean, and had only one previous owner. Did I make a bad purchase, or is this reasonable given the market currently?
