Waterworks Headwater
Great grief, intense, although short lived fright, and lots of fiddling certainly was the case that last night on the old water line. I had returned home late, about 8:30 pm as I recall, from a long, wet day working as a National Park Ranger. I clearly remember wanting only a hot shower, a little supper and a good night sleep, but that was not to be my luck.
I turned on the faucets in the shower, looking forward to a few minutes respite, before deciding on dinner, only to be disappointed by no hot water, in fact, no water at all. There was nothing to do other than get dressed again, dry clothes this time, and head down to the basement for rain gear, and the now infamous patch kit. If I wanted a shower that night there was no other alternative. I would have to find the problem and fix it myself.
By this time I was the only one living on the property and you simply had to do things on your own. I know I am not alone when I say that many times it would have been better and certainly easier to have help, but without any forthcoming you would proceed with the task at hand, alone. This night certainly was no exception, had I known what was to come I would have waited, at least until daylight, (more…)
To sort through one’s past is a bit like looking through that old apple crate, handed down from your late, great uncle. Filled with dusty old clippings, the odd pocket knife, a few photos and some miscellaneous oddments that crate of stuff might raise questions in your mind; “Who was my great uncle, really? What impact did he have? Did he have an influence?” For most of us, if we were to shake out our own crate we would no better be able to answer those questions about ourselves than we could about that great uncle your parents were so fond of. That is until now…………….http://fcinf.com/v/an94/welcome
Well, honestly, that is a stretch; however, Fast Company Magazine has embarked on a new social media experiment called, “The Influence Project.” Each participant is given a personal URL, very few rules of engagement, in fact I don’t think there are any, and encouragement to go forth.
To participate one risks being branded as an egotist; after all you get your picture in a magazine. I choose to simply look at it as a bit of fun and a chance to learn a little more about the power of social media, as a participant, not simply an observer. If you would be interested to test yourself and have a bit of fun too, please follow along by clicking the link above or at the end. If you are just curious I have provided a link to a Fast Company article that explains it all, The Influence Project Projecthttp://ct.fastcompany.com/go2.shtml?CcuG3oegyYiSWwRP/279e7d7a2caf9db9/b8c01efc65be4d1f/exprzit@gmail.com .
Please assist me in this social media project. It’s quick, easy & a little bit fun. http://fcinf.com/v/an94/welcome
