Friday, we started out to the dump to install stoves when we heard John's truck making a grinding noise. It was obvious, the brakes. Luis, the local stove installer, pulled into his friends backyard shop and sure enough, the brake pad had eaten into the rotor. The good news is we immediately got the rotor turned $7.00, new pads, $24.00, labor $14.00. We were off in less than two hours. Once at the dump, Luis informed us that he left most of his tools at home. He looked at me and said "We will improvise". Gotta love it, Mexico.
"A good grip, focused attention and balance, that's what won the game and you can apply that to most everything else in life, too." I heard this on a video the granddaughters were watching last night, and thought it was good advice on how to approach life in general. The final statement in your post is similar: "He looked at me and said, 'We will improvise.'" That can also be applied to most everything else in life, because, "There's more than one way to skin a cat." In fact, being forced to improvise sometimes leads to new, improved ways of doing routine tasks and/or better end products.
