Every Fail moves me forward

12/10/2022

I learn by my failures, and unfortunately I learn slowly.

While there are different learning styles for different people we all gravitate towards one being dominant.

In my case I seem to learn the stove is hot by burning my fingers. Sure I know its hot before I touch it, sure the directions say don't touch, but without touching it how will I ever know for sure. This approach works best with some common sense to avoid death and dismemberment, or in other words; lean towards being human and away from being an idiot.

Creating this museum I am less an idiot and simply more uneducated as I find my way through this world of web design. I am sure this website will undergo many changes and several complete "do-overs" (at least behind the scenes) as I unravel and then weave together all the aspects involved in creating something of quality and worth your time. You will therefore get to experience all the growing pains as things are getting dialed in around here. Be patient and provide feedback. I will try to do better where I can.

Finally lets combine the above learning style together with a MOBOTOY Story. Sadly this battery operated toy dump truck below gave its all for me to fail and learn from.

It was a sad day when we lost exhibit 0277 to human negligence

At one time this was one of the finest working examples of this 1950s "Automatic Dump Truck" as you can see in this 360 spin video:

We will always have this special memory of you forever Exhibit 0277

Then on July 30th, 2022 while setting up a museum display at a local car show I backed over the bin (yes it was inside a bin). How it got under the wheel when the car (2020 GT500) only has 4" of ground clearance and the bin is 7" high is crazy. Why I didn't look before I backed up and what did I learn from the failure?

Answer: How I have survived this long is indeed a miracle. I learned I am still an idiot.

Thanks for reading.
