When I was a kid I never was any good at doing those models where you glue the tiny plastic parts together and paint the little grey pieces. My brother built a lot of models when I was a kid. He would slowly work away at them over the course of weeks, carefully gluing each piece and letting it dry. His models came out looking good.

I on the other hand was complete and total crap at the whole model building thing. I would end up with glue all over everything and would stick almost everything together except for the two pieces which I was intending on bonding. It didn't help that I had zero patience and wouldn't let things sit long enough before I tried to fix the next bits on. For a long time I had a poorly assembled jet with glue haze on its windshield hung from the ceiling of my bedroom.

I think I only left it there to remind myself of my failure and remind me not to waste my money on another model.

Some things don't change. Today it was sunny and warm so after work I was applying sealant to the siding joints on the resided portions of the garage. It is a job I am truly shite at. I end up with sealant everywhere. Apply twice as much as I need and end up taking half off. Fortunately, this is water based stuff so the mess wasn't lasting. The good news is that eventually it will be covered by paint and it'll be very difficult to see the smears. I think if I live to be 90 I still won't be able to build a model or apply a decent bead of sealant.
