Going through life with the 'check engine' light on...

I got a New Years text from an old friend I haven't seen in a few years. He asked what I was up to and I responded that I'm back into flying model aircraft. We met as a group who used to talk on 2-way radio, starting with CB and later getting ham radio licenses. Now, his hobby/sport is guns. Lots of guns. I asked if he was into buying and selling as a collector and his response was shooting. I guess that's his final answer.
He did say he's going through life with the 'check engine' light on and I understand that statement.
I'll have to stop by to see him on my next trip to Miami.
thumbs up

Hi Chat, I know what 'check engine' light on means mechanically but i am not sure what it means Physically or Emotionally, or Intellectually. I'm not even sure which one you are familiar with cause you don't say. You just say that you know I guess because your definition and feeling is the same as your friend's. In that case can you explain what it means to you. Please. Whatever I think will be wrong, cause it will be what I feel by my own definition. W.
Wrinkley, my friend is the go anywhere do anything person. He works for an electronics firm that sometimes gets out-of-town contracts to do wiring for stadiums or events like golf tournaments where they go in weeks before the event, trench for underground wires. The grass covers over their work and the TV sound truck has all the connections.
There aren't enough hours in the day when 2 events are scheduled next to each other. So the 'check engine light' phrase means things that are not done have to wait for a while.
He's an insomniac and sometimes stays up most of the night reading... anything of interest. I know for a while it was science fiction but his interest in guns probably has him studying manuals, specifications and technical details... probably shared mental and physical strain.
