So true or the ability to walk away and give the steam build up in your head a chance to blow off before you turn a minor set back into a major disaster. Then come back after a few beers ......I mean after you cool down.
My wife can sometimes be a savior here. When she sees I am starting to ride the edge, she will suddenly call me in for coffee and cake or pie (sorry no beer this time) than as we sit down she will begin to chatter away like a blue jay about anything that does not revolve around bikes or whatever I am working on and before you know it I am back in the garage with a better frame of mind.
