Today I tried a project. I had to put a air valve stem on my mower tire. The tires had also been flat for a while. My son in law told me it was an easy fix. I was gone on the day he would be able to help me. Here is the process I used to get the tires fixed.
I got a stem at Tsc. I had a horrible time trying to seat the tubeless tire. I you tubed and learned that you should use soap to make the process easier. Then I wrapped the rope around the tire and put a knot to tie it with. I used the screwdriver to twist the knot and then I aired up the tire. My pregnant daughter in lawned the screw driver. She had to put down her other baby in the stroller. I told her when you marry a man that does not know how to fix things you have to learn yourself.
The mower is fixed and we feel like three very empowered women: me, the daughter in law and the grand daughter.

Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
