Getting Unstuck Part 2 - Beautiful Spring Morning

The rain barrel was much simpler to make than I thought! We were so excited about the simplicity of this that we bought our own pipe tap so that we can make more easily. We have all the tools now (doesn't take a lot - drill, scroll saw, channel locks, pipe tap)! Yay!

The hardest thing does seem to be obtaining food quality barrels - well, just making the calls, actually. We've been so busy at work that I haven't been able to even think about it.

Change is in the air lately, folks. I don't know what it is but it is there. I wake up in the morning with solutions to problems I didn't know I had or had long forgotten. Mechanical problems, logistical problems. Things like how to make a particular adjustment to a photo or how to load the recumbent bike onto the bike rack. Random. My mind is working all this out in my sleep, though.

???

While I'm awake, my subconscious and unconscious are smacking me with truths from both my past and present that I have glossed over or just flat-out denied. While I sleep, I am figuring out all the little details to tasks I have questioned or been unable to do in the past.

Interesting times.

Getting Unstuck Part 1

First, let me state the obvious: You cannot know what you do not know. There.

The "List of Things I Do Not Know" is extensive. The "List of Things I Know" is growing - it is very closely related to the "List of Things I Did Not Know".

Some of the things I am learning are much harder to learn and to know than I ever imagined.

Today, however, I am going to learn to construct a rain barrel. That will be a very good thing. I will post more after the class.
