Act of Caring (2020-06-16)

Act of Caring 

I helped a kid fix his bike wheel on the path in the park this afternoon.  He'd burst the tube, and that forced the tire out of the rim and the kid wasn't strong enough to force it back into the rim.  I got the tire back inside the rim so the tire would roll on the flat inner tube.  The kid was extremely grateful he could roll the bike home and didn't have to carry it.

The Daily Affirmation 

I glad Holly convinced me not to give up in Jedi: Fallen Order.  Minutes later I figured out the puzzle, flooding the chamber, and giving myself a swim path that after many twists and turns emptied out to the save point I'd been looking for for 20 minutes.

At the end of the evening I figured out a formula to automatically calculating my average number of days between various "as needed" pills that I take, based on the current year's data.  Trying to figure that out has gone on for weeks.

The Daily Affirmation

I had 9 seconds left to score a TD.  This was after coughing up a 75-yard touch down to Odell Beckham, Jr with 26-seconds to go, when I was ahead by 4 and could only lose by them scoring a touch down.  I was 75 yards away from end zone after Tommy Bohanon, of all people, fielded the kick and couldn't be brought down, even though I wasn't fighting for yards.  I picked "Hail Mary" waited 4 seconds and then heaved up the ball to R1 since they were all in a jumble anyway.  The ball went through six people's hands and landed in CeeDee Lamb's gloves with no one around him.  He ran up-field and scored my needed touch down with 0:00 on the clock.
