The Right Equipment

“60 Minutes” did a expose’ on the Go Pro digital camera; the man and the company but mostly the camera. It is a great success because the man with the vision created the right equipment for surfers, and meeting those corresponding requirements he happened to create a camera good for absolutely everything else. Go Pro was a sponsor of WORS at least for one year in the past and a product I have propped before (without compensation). I showed Misao the Go Pro web site with the videos. She says we have to get one to strap onto ‘Ike’ our dog.

It’s important to have the right equipment. I have my equipment for the gym and I have my used trainer for this Winter. I have been getting more and more use out of it. I think I would get out riding more if my mountain bike hasn’t been suffering from wear and tear. Men need new machinery from time to time to keep them fulfilled.

One thing that has kept me away from exercise and also my writing is work. I had a string of jobs and now I am trying to get in some work on my back entrance before it gets too cold. I leveled out a landing with a thin coat of sand mix during the Packer’s game. I prepped before the game and then watched the first half. I thought I would get it all done during halftime but when I finished, to my surprise, the game was almost over. If only I had been watching…

I gave Misao a Teeter Hang-up for her birthday. She has been complaining of back pain for a long time but no more. It is the most highly recommended hang from your ankles thing I could find. A DVD and a series of e-mails guide one to safe usage. One needs not only the right equipment but the right way to use it. I use it myself. It is good for the joints too. It requires some space but we really can use it tucked in the corner as it is. When you leave the Teeter site they offer you a discount price for a slightly used (free trial) Teeter with full warranty.

Misao has become a groupie of ‘The Band Perry’ and says we need to go to their Green Bay concert also. Keeping the wife happy is very important. The right equipment is certainly essential in this regard. There are some age old time proven tactics and equipment to keep the desired harmony in the home. The foremost tactic is for men to be men and women to be women all in their respective spheres.

In this quest for familial bliss the bowling ball is an essential piece of equipment. I joined an all men’s league with my friend of forty years. I started with one of my dad’s old balls but then got a new ball drilled specifically for my hand. What a difference. Nothing keeps a man happier than winning.

To keep my wife happy I call her ‘Queen Bee’. Then she sings “I rule, I rule, I rule.’ I let her live her fantasy and if that doesn’t work, I can always go bowling. Not ‘The Band Perry’ but it works.

Just call me a font of wisdom.

The $43 Question: Where did I bowl as a youth? Hint: historic landmark. See Charity Jackpot page in sidebar. The more books I get published the greater the multiplier will become.
