It's been a few weeks now since I last worked on my last camera. It was a Canon T90, which I now have the most repair experience with.

To recover after an intensive period of repair work and to do other things, I'm currently taking a summer break in the workshop.

And already the memories are starting to fade: what I did and how, what problems occurred, how this and that went, etc.

It's good that I have my repair log and my reports here. But I'm left with a feeling of uncertainty; every day I take a break makes it worse: Will I be able to do it again, how should I go about it, shouldn't I better have stayed in training?

This, too, is something that occupies the DIY repairer 😌

a personal video brain-dump may help capture the fleeting memories.

I'd have to go through hours of footage ☺️

I have a good visual memory, so I can handle the project photos.

It's more of a psychological problem.

You should stick with it every day. But do I want to do the same thing every day?
