For some projects, the most fitting words, the most poignant observations, can only come from a third party.  A mother, a girlfriend, a boss, an employee, or just a good friend has a message that simply strikes the essence of the whole project.  

Here is such a message, a quote from my dad upon his learning that I was about to pull an old truck from the weeds:

"You should take pictures of the truck only for the sake of reminding you (when truck troubles come along), it is a heap you pulled from under an oak tree, after 4 years of rest, you have forced it back into service, it may be ugly for a good reason, but, it seemed like a good idea at the time and (hopefully) you are no worse off than before.

If you want to name the truck I suggest you call it FERDINAND.

As you know the story of the reluctant bull, he wouldn't fight in the bull ring or be fierce as they wished him to be, so they had to take Ferdinand home.  And for all we know he is sitting there still, under his favorite cork tree, smelling the flowers just quietly and is very happy."
