RE: Drop the Mop - d00k13 Digest Vlog #59 - DTUBE EXCLUSIVE
I really like this video! I have to say that I thought the contest was going to be like an icebucket challenge thing to shave my head. I already had a plan for how to pull it off, but then realized that it's just a comment (and more comments). So...
A time when I was reactive, but wish I had acted first. Hmmm.
This probably happens to me most often when I procrastinate. I don't tend to default to action in any particular circumstance, I'm more of an information gatherer and a consider all the implications type of person. Usually that works out pretty well, and there's some balance to acting decisively once I know the score. However, If I just put something off because I don't want to do it, kind of textbook procrastinating, I often find later that the scramble to finish leaves me with a desire to have acted sooner, to have been proactive.
One distinct example of this is draining the carbs and gas tank in my motorcycle. If it gets put off, the ethanol based fuel gums up the works. I have to disassemble and clean everything, put it all back together, spending hours tweaking and fiddling with the thing to get it working correctly. If I had dealt with it earlier, it would have taken 15 minutes and everything would have been fine.
Congratulations @toddmck you are the second approved contestant for my giveaway.
Yeah I had considered doing a challenge where other people shave their head, maybe I’ll reach out and challenge some people but I figured doing it on a comment basis would help to increase interactivity on the post.
Oh I know about motorcycles in storage, after I stored my scooter last time being that it’s a two stroke and you have to mix the gas with oil all the oil separated and plugged the fuel lines of all things which after I ran it gummed up the carburetor and I had to take it into the shop to get them to rejett it and put in a new float as that had corroded because I didn’t drain everything correctly 🤦♂️ I learn the hard way!
