In Perspective



Truck not fixed yet of course. But I think I need to adjust my attitude here and keep things in perspective like my friend here. I mean, there is a time for everything.

Frustration

It is so frustrating this truck fixing stuff. I try something and it seems to work, but only for a little while. I find myself getting obsessed with it. Yesterday we took a sabbath day off and I managed to forget about it for a while. That was nice. I'm not working on it constantly or anything, but my thoughts do turn there and I puzzle and puzzle on it. And puzzle and puzzle. Wasn't that the name of the donkey in "The Last Battle" ? I hope this isn't my last battle. Naw, it ain't. But still a puzzlement.

No Go

Sometimes things just get complicated.

My truck don't go. At least sometimes it don't go. When I try to see why it don't go, it go. But when I try to drive it to someplace, it don't go, at least not all the way. So I try to think this thing out rationaly. I change one part of the truck, and it go. I am very happy. I go for drive and it don't go. Now I am not so happy. I get chain to pull truck to house. Police are not happy. I am more not happy. I think some more, change part. Truck go ! I am happy again. I drive truck to job but truck no go all the way. I walk to job. I am not so happy again. Now truck go and I drive home ! I think some more, change part. Truck go ! I take long drive. I am happy again. I drive truck to job. Truck go ! I am very happy. I drive home, truck no go. I am not so happy. I buy many parts, expensive parts. Truck go ! Truck no go ! I am not happy.

The First!

Not sure why I'm doing this, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm new to this technology stuff. I'm trapped here in the 21st century and I'm not even sure the 20th was such a good idea. Time marches on and so do we. But what's the alternative ? So I'll give it a shot. If nothing else I may have fun. And that is worth something, isn't it ?
