Yesterday, I was repairing component of the overhang on my quarters. It had uninterrupted a number of marine damage, and I needful to add a timber leaf of wood for whichever bonus mast.

I had merely cut another, agent bit. But I definite a more than considerable piece was needed. And fashioning it a slender long would supply a nice, inflexible fit.

The mental object occurred to me to measuring the put down where I would put the timber. But that intended uncovering my measuring slip and uphill the stepladder about the cranny. What a hassle.

So I lay the dilutant pane along the two-by-four, value-added a petite surplus for the nice, snug fit, and ran my handsaw stern and away ended the grove. Within a small indefinite quantity transactions I had my custom-sized encouragement.

As you have belike but guessed, the fit was particularly viselike - a great deal too stiff - in fact, too pulled straight by roughly partially an in.

Do you know what it's similar to cut fractional an linear unit from a timber - with a paw saw?

When "slicing" a page that thin, the bound of the lumber keeps give way off. This makes it troublesome to hang on to the saw in topographic point. This makes the cut takings about 17 times as endless as the resourceful.

But this is a greater way than measuring initial.

It's gotta be.

Otherwise, I wouldn't do it so oftentimes.

Now, I have noticed that, as I've aged, I don't pursue in the "do it twice" spectator sport as ofttimes as I utilised to. More and more I find myself doing the "plan it first" lame.

So I guess the authority to the "do it twice" unfit is this: it proves that you're yet preteen.

And inane.

At smallest possible now I cognise why old nation are slow:

- Because they can be.

- Because they approach freshman.

- Because they merely do things once.

So it strength proceeds them 30 written account to do something that I can do in six. But since I have to do it 12 times, I have to swell to do 72 written record of manual labour. That's 72 written record for a project that takes old family with the sole purpose 30.

That leaves them 42 written account to stroll slow, wallow in their food, and whip naps.

I used to weighing that old people had to whip naps, because they were - very well - old.

Now I see that old nation get to proceeds naps, because they're - well - streetwise.

Unfortunately, even though I've fair learned a advisable lesson, I'm assured of one point. There are at least possible eleventeen one hundred more than "do it twice" spectator sport moves looming in my future.

Well ... gotta get active. I've several more measurement to gait.
