Garage is My Happy Place
Got a 1987 Honda CB750 that I'm slowly restoring. Some days after work I just go sit in the garage and tinker on it even if I'm not making progress. There's something about the quiet and the work that just clears my head.
My 9 year old has started hanging out with me out there and asking questions about how things work. I love watching him get interested in it. We're already talking about teaching him to ride when he's old enough. Garage time is our time and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
The garage is definitely the dad sanctuary. Totally get why you just need to sit out there and decompress after work. That's your reset button.
