I’m giving you some exposure to some of the necessary dot connecting you are feeding to me and others when you post a steam engine and expect me to connect the dots with hang gliding.
You do have me scratching my head a little.
I’m too slow connecting dots.
I could give you a tip to help that but you may think me a 'know-it-all' if I just came out and told you.
The ah ha moment method wastes too much of my time.
Ah ha moments are the best part my time wasted.
I want the teaching moment to be direct and to the point,--- today.
Hmmm. Today, I don't know if I can teach anyone anything.
Horse to water comes to mind.
Are you getting thirsty?
What do you want to learn from me, today?
So next time you do the steam engine = hang gliding (delayed ah ha student teaching method) send me a PM stating, “Bill, your to slow to pick up on this so here is the point I’m trying to make with these ignorant pilots with my drawn out ah ha moment:---”
Bill, I've learned my lesson. I won't post magnificent example time warps in the inappropriate History category.
It is a bit of a leap to link Octave Chanutes' wildest dreams come true, with hang gliding.
It won't happen again.
By the way there never was any attempt to remain anonymous when I hit the, Report Post, button
No problem. It was an appropriate use of the "Report Post" button. It's the way the 'system' is designed.
It's 1984 . We aren't supposed to know or face our accusers.
Youtube shenanigans that shut down certain memberships are a great example.
Someone makes a claim, legitimate or not, and multi million hit links come down.
Guilty till proven you'll spend money on a lawyer.. much like Bob's case.
It use to be: he said, she said,... he is going to jail.
Now it's probably both as it's a chance for double the money sucked into the system.
Guilty till proven innocent is standard fare. Ok, I was guilty!
Sorry.
I Connecting the dots now----and after checking the link above it should be obvious that I was thinking that you were a creative conceptual thinker operating out of the right brain. (and possibly left handed).
After all, the saying goes, -- only left handed people are in their right mind.
I have a difficult time understanding concepts coming from creative conceptual thinkers. Maybe that’s why I can use electricity but not understand it. If everyone in the world were like me we would still be using candles, charcoal and birch bark to communicate.
Left brain, right brain.. I don't know. My older brother tried to kill me with a John Deere 4020 about 50 years ago and my brain hasn't been the same since. I was knocked out pretty good from the three point boom I was swinging from, as -Billy- was driving, broke at the top link while he was trying to throw me off. The lights went out pretty good. Tad can have a shot at that info..
My thinking isn't standard. One of my few remaining friends suggests I may be somewhere on the Asperger's scale, but she was only an art major.
What would she know? Actually she values my logical/practical side.. but there is a creative side. The first time I was permanently fired from Union Pacific, 1978-79, I had an old motor home and was ready to head south-west and do some wood carving. Moyes Midi - Will Travel comes to mind.
Uncle Pete sucked me back into the rabbit hole and I did another 20 years rail prison.
Who knows? If that hadn't happened we might be flying together today.
I know this doesn't answer your question but it answers some for me. Another catharsis period, it seems?
Artistic/creative for me now, is not being able to throw particular firewood into the stove because I think I can make a yard art something out of it.
I've got some out in the snow now, rotted down to poor firewood, as we speak.
Many unfinished projects.. more concept than detail.. I guess..
My concept for hang gliding is all but re-explained.
The pieces of the puzzle are there.
It's not the first time explained.
But not well, it seems.
Communication, beyond constraints of charcoal and birch bark is still very difficult.
I've been a failure at the FreeUSHGA message/lesson so far.
I'll work on it, for you are not the first to say they didn't get it.
I don't know about today. I'm about all typed out for a while.
FINALLY lit.
