In lieu of the slow activity around here lately I make a postulation:
patients is the tolerance of delay. It's an art and a practice. They say, even, a virtue. But in my case it's the product of not knowing exactly what direction I want to go crossed with the ability to put things that annoy me out of my conscious and multiplied by the inability to find a balance then dividing that total by the lack of knowledge to complete a task. A virtue, not exactly, but beneficial none the less.
It is with that state that I have endured the meandering projects I have undertaken with the Travelall and Scout. Measuring progress not in work done but in the tools purchased or built to do said work. I am both annoyed and thankful for the many pursuits and responsibilities I have to fill my time. Being a god fearing man and the best husband, father and loyal friend I can be is the highest priority and passion for me. The second is getting these damn internationals running, however, the first seems to bring tasks of lesser importance into the forefront while the internationals take a back seat. And it's this situation that has both tried my patients and given me pause to be thankful for them.
On the one hand I could have a running and functional Scout. But would I have been happy with it? It sure gets old when you have to show up to meetings in anything other than what the meetings are all about anyways. On the other hand, the tolerance for delay has given me a great prize and in a way turned my patients into a virtue. This post is a round about way (because it's been damn slow on the forums lately) to say that I finally have a full and complete plan for the cannibal Scout. One that has filled in the unknown and dark places of the plan that I couldn't foresee until now.
So for all of those projects that you have undertaken that do not move as fast as you wish them to move, have a little faith that patients is a virtue that will produce a positive outcome.
More on my plan later, be patient ...
