The Daily Affirmation

I had a whole day to do nothing but the things I wanted to do and was never interrupted in anyone.  It feels sublimely beautiful.

Batting practice has been useful.  The most compelling thing I have learned is, if I keep my feet planted, as opposed to stepping into the pitch, I get a more consistent, solid hit.

Blog Question(s) Of The Day

All signs seem to point towards a destiny as a defender of the goal.  Should I embrace this role, and aim to grow and excel in this position?  Or is it better to continue to pursue my preferred spot as a goal scorer?

With my new toaster oven you have to:

1.  Set the temperature at which you want to cook
2.  Set the dial for the type of cooking you want (i.e. Bake)

And then, if you want it to work, you have to set a third dial for how long to cook, or reverse the dial from zero for unlimited cooking.

Blog Question(s) Of The Day

Why does someone's request that I change something I've designed, inevitably go wrong on me?

Are my various injuries arrived at by the philosophy described in the NIN's song "Hurt" that goes, "I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel.  I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real."

Why do I still do this?

In National Lampoon's Vacation, after Clark jumps the car and they crash, Clark goes up a hill to have a "talk" with Rusty.  If you watch in the background you can see Audrey trying to find a bush behind which to go to the bathroom.

How do I get the hot tub to stop erroring on FEF?  And what exactly does it mean anyway?

The Daily Affirmation (2013-08-05)

The Daily Affirmation

In the light of a new day I have accomplished things that last night foiled me:

1)  I have stretched my Washingtion Nationals hat which was just a little too small (even though its the same listed size as all my other hats)
2)  I found the hex key I dropped last night
3)  I have cut down the table that caused me to lose the hex key in the first place

I emptied the dishwasher and changed the light bulb in my bedroom this morning.

When the hot tub stopped working properly I tried a few things to fix it, instead of just giving up.
