Ever notice tires humming happy highway numbers while they work?
Two of the most important rules for keeping tires happily humming happy highway numbers, are properly rounded balance and proper working pressure.
I challenge us to apply these same two rules to human maintenance also? The longer we operate under excessive pressure, the more chance there is for us to (like the tire) bubble up under our cap. And if we’re out of balance with God, community or nature, we’re prone to wobble off track so badly we’ll, involuntarily ditch our fondest efforts. We’ve been given the freedom to choose. We can just wobble and bump thump along, shaking the sugar out of sweet success. O R -------
We can pay attention to indicators that flash a warning when detecting uncomfortable operating pressures and we can donate scheduled time to minutes embracing properly rounded, daily balance requirements.

M - Before you realize you should have started earlier, do it!
T - Jump start your journey ahead, powered by 2020 hindsight.
W - Be flexible, the shortest route to thin ice is digging into a dead end debate.
T - One failed struggle off of thin ice is by trying to mouth off by the seat of your pants.
F - When you don’t know what’s hanging in the shadows, walk light footed.
S - The only true test to see if we can do anything we think we can, is to try it.

1 - Select a tiny circle area on your wall.
2 - Drive a BIG nail smack into the center of that tiny circle, using your handy, favorite hammer.
3 - Organize a local Duct Tape hunt. Duct Tape hunts do not require any personal ID, as long as you remain on your own property.
4 - A roll of Duct Tape looks like a silver doughnut, --------------- through a pair of black binoculars.
5 - If you find a roll of black, doughnut size, Duct Tape, don’t touch it!
6 - Gather your bounty and hang it on the BIG nail in the tiny circle against the wall. To do this successfully, you’ll miss the nail right on the head.
7 - If your BIG nail looks bare after the hunt, grab your plastic and head for the barn door and accessories supply station, whistling as you go.
8 - After your hunt at the supply station is successful, you might need some ID to validate the plastic.
9 - When the checkout at the Barn Door Store asks you, “Did you find everything ok?” Kindly inform the checkout, “I wasn’t looking for everything. OK?”
10 - Bring the Duct Tape Home and whistle while you decorate the Big Nail in the tiny circle on the wall.
11- One thing you’ll really like about Duct Tape, it’s self adhesive, you don’t have to lick it!
12 - An expert can maybe fix a shoe with some glue, but I’ve seen many a rookie using Duct Tape!
13 - So, if you’re a rookie when it comes to repair, just use Duct Tape everywhere.

I carefully reached up and opened double doors #3 and what do you think was standing in one long, long row on the bottom shelf, each one anxiously waiting to be used? An enormously large collection of favorite recipes, recipe books, newspaper clippings and recipe cards, that’s what, plus one very interesting surprise! There, in all it’s glory, stood a rejuvenated cardboard recipe card holder box. It was boldly sporting about three rounds of the ever popular, silver colored, duct tape. The duct tape’s assignment was to re-establish the box’s torn corners and fix them in place. As we all know, duct tape just recently emerged in blogstream as the most likely candidate to win an enormously large collection of stick-to-itiveness awards. It has even been a suggested that a “how to use” instruction sheet would enhance the duct tape’s success. Give me your opinion, do you think a set of instructions should be written or not?

When the outside air is 5 degrees F, a fifteen mph wind factors it down to an uncomfortable minus twelve degrees F. Why can’t we invent an inverter (like a mirror) that looks at the wind chill formula, turns it outside in, and applies it to our heating system? We would be able to set our indoors thermostat at fifty six degrees F, boost up our fan speed a smidgen, and enjoy the creature comfort temperature of about seventy three degrees F.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall, just add an inverter, that will be all!”
I’ll let you know if I get my mirror to respond, until then, please don’t send me any mirrors, expecting me to be the inverter inserter.
