My biggest frustration is not having enough things that need to be made by me.  For many years, I've made furniture and other things for our home and for our children's homes.  Now those sources of projects are filled up with the stuff they need/want that I can make.

I voted for a lack of intelligence -- that is not knowing the best and quickest way to complete the task at hand.

Looks like lack of space, money, time, and intelligence have taken the lead, with Taylor Swift frustration closing in fast. I know all the restraining orders have frustrated me.

I have always lacked space, therefore I think like a carpenter. Two sawhorses and a flat surface create the space. I have a yard stick with creosote all over it because I used a railroad tie wall years ago. There are a couple benches weathering in rain and sun waiting for space in the garage.

Decant into smaller (1 cup) mason jars, fill to the rim, and seal.  When you open one to use, give it a shot of Bloxigen (argon gas) and reseal.  You can also use marbles to take up the missing volume when you close the jar.
