Some of you may have realized after 6 months that AcMo had gone silent. Shame on you if you didn’t. Because all of you asked, I will explain what happened to AcMo’s daily adventures. AcMo suffered several heartbreaking automotive and other setbacks that crushed our drive. Ha ha yeah, that was a great pun, but it’s not funny. We had setbacks.
One early morning in the not too distant past, I read an article by someone who claimed to have written 3000 words per day every day for four years. I don’t have my calculator available, but I am certain that is a lot of words. He said he learned a great deal from all of those words. I’m sure he did. I didn’t like the thought of someone else using so many words each day, so I made the decision to resurrect AcMo. Now I can take words and put them in any order I want on a daily, or even hourly—if I’m feeling ambitious—basis.
Some of my loyal readers are the type who can’t look away from an accident scene, so I’ll give you some details about what happened to our fleet of track vehicles. First, we lost an engine on one car. Then, we lost an engine on another car. That’s three turbos down for those not counting. If we had been open to learning at that time, we would have found someone else to prepare our vehicles, but we just weren’t ready for an action that radical. So we packed up the cars and shut it all down. Then we lost another engine bringing total turbo losses to 4. This was AFTER we had shutdown our engine tuning program. A pattern was starting to emerge from the fog, but I still wasn’t ready to accept it.
Since there weren’t any more turbos to destroy, I dedicated time toward attempting to understand how these losses could be turned into learning experiences. It is hard to visualize anything positive when negative thoughts are flooding the brain. One thing I discovered was that I was going to have to change the way I played the game. I had to get my mind right in order to do that. The correction started with purging all turbos from our premises. That was a hard task, but quite necessary to point AcMo in the proper direction.
It’s easy to be negative; it’s easy to think everything is going to fail. Being positive is hard, especially in the face of apparently insurmountable odds. But, those who have the strength, and a little bit of delusion, can stay positive. Facing your greatest fears with positive energy makes it possible to succeed, or so I’ve been told.
AcMo’s return may seem random, but nothing in the universe is truly random. The return is associated with our first upcoming trip back to the track in several years. No turbos will be accompanying us on this excursion. Of course I’m nervous, but I don’t have a choice. I have to go back. Too many people are depending on AcMo to deliver astounding performance. It was imperative that I shared some wisdom before heading to the track since this is time sensitive.
I understand now that my purpose in life is to be a cautionary tale for others who attempt to succeed without proper training, licensing, and certification. Those qualifications are more important than I realized. Don’t worry, AcMo has acquired several online licenses and certifications to make this operation legitimate (copies of said documents available upon written request).
AcMo has returned with a new and improved proprietary formula. We are ready to persist through all difficulties because we know our purpose and we know how important that is to keep people safe. While we’re at the track this weekend having a blast, just remember that I came back to warn all of you to stay away from these: http://www.popularmechanics.com/adventure/outdoors/news/a27462/926-pound-shark-new-jersey-coast/
Still think this is a joke?
You’ve been warned.
AcMo out!
