In the eyes of the beholder

Jay has been working steadily for weeks on what I saw to be a hunk of metal things stuck together. But through the eyes of a visionary who has no money, a lot of ability and some steel it is the frame to his Harley. A Harley he is making, from scratch, not from a kit. I used to shake my head at what I thought he thought he could do. Silly me, I now shake my head at the thought of me not knowing what he could do. Ask me about the old white truck he had to tow home. It didn't run and it was free. I hated the thought of having a that piece of junk parked in the street in front of our house for who knows how long. Then in a short period of time it was running and offered us a second vehicle without monthly payments. It sold for several thousand a year later. From that point on I had a little more faith in him. Then he excitedly asked if the kids and I wanted to go to California to purchase a dirt bike that was being sold at a ridiculously low price. The catch? I'm sure you figured it out, it needed work. So we loaded up, headed to California and when we got to the seller's house, he had it ready for us to pick up....in boxes. It was not what I was expecting to see, Jay and this man carrying out a few boxes of parts and then some wheels. But in a few weeks I had a dirt bike to call my own! These are only a few examples of the ability I am talking about.

So my point in this? Look through Jay's eyes not mine!
