You work with the tools you have.
If you got mad duct tape skillz, you can’t go sweating what skills you lack! Use what you got.
I know a guy who can spot four-leaf clovers while just walking along. I have trouble seeing them if you put then in my hand next to two three leaf clovers. But my buddy- if he needs luck? Boom. Skillz.
Do clover leaves float? Can they add buoyancy to the kayak? Is there anything in the rules saying you can’t use them? Are shamrocks as good for anchors as real rocks are?
Been a while since I tried, but I used to have the mad 4-leaf clover skills. Got to the point that I was only impressed if I found a 5 or 6-leaf clover. (Once, when I was a kid.)
I’m looking over a four-leaf clover
I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain
Third is the roses that grow in the lane
No need explaining, the one remaining
Is somebody I adore

Mom used to sing that song when we were kids.
I was today years old, when I learned there were more then 2 lines to the song! LMAO
The only words I knew are the ones you posted.
Skills will save you when luck turns bad.
Riding a motorcycle on an enduro race. Running up a narrow ravine all I could see was a drop. I was too fast to stop so I angled towards the rock wall of the ravine. I rode it down to ground level bypassing the drop off. I paused at the bottom to collect my thoughts when I heard a scream. This motorcycle came flying down to the ground followed by the rider. I set his broken arm, left him my water bottle and went on. Out of fifty of us a handful finished the race.
Terlingua Enduro….1976. 104 started. 63 finished.
The fifty was us unsponsored amateurs
Indeedy, those who are about to die, should have a good attitude about it. Rumors about me are mostly not exaggerated these days and I may have the plauge in my house. I have six strikes….
But. Let’s go out in a BLAZE of Glory!!!!!!!!!!! (and I hope we have at least the mid-grade duct tape not the super el-cheapo….)
Also if you look back in last book, you had me in the regular kayak event. 🙂
Can I paddle… adrenaline is great inspiration. It really is. And flowing with the flow… yep. Still. My 4 leaf finding skills are fair, for this one I should hold out for a six-leaf-er.
As far as the plague, I just had a sinus swab test today conducted by the State, to see if I’ve gotten zapped. Not good times, I’ve got six strikes. I’ve had much worse done to me but the test swabbing is… unique. It’s going to take five days to find out–our county first case and family have been all over, so state is taking the initiative over are there going to be an explosion of cases. Please, you can still enjoy the great outdoors, but keep your distance, wear your mask, wear gloves, and whoever is hoarding and blackmarketing TP, STOP!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
