Great thoughts, similar to those in 'Zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance' where he rambles on about being 'stuck' , where he's snapped the head of a bolt off or stripped a thread - that's the time when we learn stuff , when our mind starts processing for solutions - before being stuck, we're just in auto mode .

Or something like that.

Well done with the drilling. I usually just look if there are electrical outlets or switches, or plumbing outlets vertically in line with desired drill holes.

Works 95% of the time.

I once drilled into a horizontal concrete support beam in a friend's garage, to mount a bike rack, and Boom , hit an electrical cable , there?? All lights out.

So don't take my advice..

I suppose I need a problem to solve before my mind spring into problem-solving mode…

I appreciate the drilling advice! My holes were horizontally aligned with the room’s light switches, which had me worried for a minute. Good to keep in mind that I should be looking up and down, not side to side.

Thanks again for you wisdom and the consistent support, musical and otherwise.

Love this sentence : "I’d sunk an hour and some change into a dough that wasn’t working." How goes with the job hunting 🤗 Love, Jules 🍒

I’m glad you love that sentence! I think I can’t read it without the pang of the failed dough hitting me in the heart (and maybe stomach)!
