This entry describes only one of many examples of my stubborn, strong-willed Irish determination. It has been especially evident since after my old truck, a 1995 Nissan, died when I did not on Tuesday, 3/29/2016. Of course, I have always had a stubborn Irish spirit, even before my “bionic” life started almost two years ago.
On Wednesday, 1/17/2018, I bought a set of four mudguards for my new-to-me truck, a 2006 Nissan Frontier. Since then, I have tried several times to install them. The installation is easy if you don’t have a “bionic” right foot, right knee, and left shoulder. My previous efforts failed when my right foot and right knee said, “That’s enough!” My left shoulder was okay.
Earlier today, on a Sunday afternoon, I finally installed the mudguards! It wasn't work. Call it tinkering. There is a difference. My right foot and knee have finally improved sufficiently to get the job done!
Please enjoy the photographs below. My truck was in “the barn” (i.e., garage) where I was working. Do you see my finger in the second photograph? The locations and angles were not the greatest. Further, the mudguards were not as visible as I wanted them to be. My strong-willed Irish spirit finally won, even if it took almost two years to get the tinkering done!
Those are Molly's food and water bowls beside my truck.
Again, please ignore my finger!
I will continue by the measure of God’s grace that I receive, day by day. I will not stop. Furthermore, I will not give up until the Good Lord comes again or takes me to my heavenly home!
