pursuing static

I drove around on the mail route the other day and didn’t turn the radio on.

That was as close as I got to “sensory deprivation”.

But….it was interesting to only have my job and my thoughts to contend with.

I realized that I don’t really think about much.

It’s “tabula rasa” up in my head…not a lot going on.

I wonder what it would feel like to float for an hour?

I think that I’d like this.

We went to a high desert valley….ringed by mountains….one trip out to Colorado….that was so quiet and still that I thought I might faint.

It was so beautiful and peaceful.

Maybe Heaven is just a lack of distraction?

Maybe Paradise is finally being able to focus?

I pursue static sometimes….like I’m afraid of the quiet.

It would be good to settle in to peace as a lifestyle choice.

I wonder why I can’t quiet my mind?

Here’s another view of what a tank experience might be like….

Freaky.

in the gravel….

We had an old Plymouth Valiant for a long time when the older kids were little.

I remember driving it to Atlanta one Christmas….and my young nephew looked at a spot of rust on the car and said, “WHAT’S THAT?”

He’d never seen a rusty car before.

I think that I painted it with rattle cans (maybe a couple of times) before we finally got rid of it when the screen on the oil pump got clogged and it didn’t have any oil pressure anymore.

Here’s a $50 Rustoleum paint job.

Man….people get creative and get the job done…with a little hard work.

Here’s the YouTube description…

Good job.

MY TRUCK IS EVEN MO’ BETTAH THAN THIS!

What’s that saying about having enough time to watch rust grow?

Is there a saying like that?

Is there a saying close to that?

Well….how about having enough time to watch a guy blast rust off his truck frame?

That’s a big bucket of rust that he ends up with…..for sure.

My truck is rusty.

I wonder if I should crawl under it with a blaster and go to town on it?

Maybe it would relieve some of my stress?

I hope so.

Uhhhhhhhh…..no.

This takes a high level of climbing skill.

Duh.

This climb in China is rated 5.14 D.

That’s a pretty high level climb.

High level climbs demand….high level skill.

I’m afraid of heights.

I don’t even want to get up on my roof….even if it’s leaking.

I don’t want to make fear my sport.
