Stickler Pickler

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Not much has really happened lately that’s worth posting.

Yeah, that’s not true one bit. A lot has been happening and that’s really why I’ve not written anything. I’m busy as hell managing the shop* and just honestly haven’t had the energy at home to 1) open the laptop and 2) think and then 3) write and finally, because I’m a bit of a freak this way, 4) edit and make sure everything is the way I want it written.

On that subject for a moment. I fully admit I am a stickler for things done “correctly”. I even quote that word because I’ll admit, what’s correct in my mind might not be correct in everyone’s; but in my mind, it’s more the route travelled that’s important than the resultant outcome. If a keen attention to detail is paid en route, then all is well. (Especially because I feel if that is done, the result will likely be the correct one.) †

Bah. The real reason for my even bringing this stickler subject up is I realize it can be difficult to cope with. Personally. I realize that not everyone can, or will, live up to those expectations (not that I think they’re unattainably high). But with that realization, I’m working with myself to alter my rigidity a bit and accept debate and fluctuation of what is “correct”.

* More on this subject at some point down the road.

I’m mostly talking about wrenching on bikes here, but I feel this is generally applicable to most situations in life.
