Balance it is a powerful concept
I still refuse to talk about work on my blog, but as all things are connected, the events in the office directly shaped the events of my Saturday. When last you read, I was forced to miss a concert I had been really looking forward to for a long time, because events at work had robbed me of my desire to go and have fun. I finally left the office at 9:30 and after eating most of a large pizza by my self (ah, the power of comfort food), and a beer, I was able to go home and sleep.
Saturday I awoke, restless. I needed a distraction, and the Fairlane is surely one of my favorites. I had purchased some tubing (and two buckets of chicken). The tubing would replace some dry rotted tubing in the rear air shocks. With this repared I will be able to lift the body off of the wheels. The wheels, purchased when I was in highschool, had always had the wrong offset for the car. I didn't know any better, and no one offered to teach me at the time. Since that time I have found air shocks to be a nice workaround.
The engine runs, the stereo doesn't, and the transmission was acting up when I parked her a long seven years ago. I needed to get the rear of the car up on ramps and I all I had to use to do it was personal energy. There are four types of energy, natural energy, spiritual energy, personal energy, and emotional energy. Of these, emotional energy is the trickiest. It is the hardest to control and often difficult to even get your mind around. It is like a sugar rush, you really don't realize its happening, unless you see it in others, or when you are coming down from it. Thus to my surprise, I discovered I wasn't using my personal energy as much as I was being used by my emotional energy. In a nutshell, rather than putting the rear of the car on top of the ramps, I nearly put it into the side of our house. The house was saved by luck, watchful spirits, the ramps, and the physics of balance. It may be difficult to see in the pictures below, but the front and rear wheels are only barely touching the ground.
I never did get that hose repaired, and just like in a sugar rush, afterwards I was completely depleated and weak. I could make no more attempts.
However, there are other things to be done, and since I had already done something more or less improbable, I figured I would see if Beatuie would be willing to go for a little walk. Without me. I was too weak at this point to be much help. What happened, was nothing short of amazing. See below.
What you see here is a patch of ground that has not seen sunlight in seven years. Even more amazing, she took Sara to the street and back. Once back, just to remind us about that whole 7 years of abandonment, stopped infront of both Sara's truck and the Saturn, blocking them both in.
The lesson, there is no way I could ever have an afair on my wife. It has been so difficult balancing the whims and desires of two loves, and only one of them are flesh and blood. Simple honor aside, there is simply no way I could ever deal with two flesh and blood loves.
Oh yeah, and I shouldn't go around messing with personal energies, when I'm in a unbalanced emotional state.
Oh and there will be video to follow tomorrow...
