Compared to what?

I'm doing fairly comprehensive upgrades to my bikes.  Hours and hours of careful work.  I'm feeling guilty about neglecting other things (family, work, training).  But then this picture comes into my head:

I'm doing 31 mph on a descending 6% switchback that curves 45 degrees to the right.  A monster truck pulling a horse trailer is coming up in the other lane.  If I get a mechanical or flat tire now I'll just slide under 12 wheels of tonnage.  A mere stain in the road

Makes a guy patient in his work.
