Alright, let’s talk about this “raw timing” thing, whatever that means. I ain’t no fancy scholar, but I can tell you a thing or two about gettin’ things done right, and I reckon timing is a big part of it.
You see, like when you’re plantin’ seeds. You can’t just throw ’em in the ground whenever you feel like it. Gotta wait for the right time, when the ground ain’t too cold and ain’t too dry. You gotta feel it in your bones, that’s what my old man used to say. If you get the timing wrong, well, you ain’t gonna get no crops, simple as that.
Same goes for bakin’ a pie. You gotta know when to put it in the oven, how long to leave it there, and when to take it out. Too early and it’ll be all gooey in the middle, too late and it’ll be burnt to a crisp. My grandma, bless her soul, she could bake a pie with her eyes closed. She just knew the timing, you know? It was like magic, but it wasn’t magic, it was just good ol’ fashioned know-how and payin’ attention.
Now, I hear tell that this “raw timing” is important for them fancy cars too. Somethin’ about the engine runnin’ right. Well, I ain’t never driven one of them newfangled contraptions, but I reckon it’s the same principle. You gotta get the parts movin’ together just so, at the right moment, or it ain’t gonna work. Like that old tractor we used to have. If you didn’t crank it just right, it wouldn’t start. And if it started at the wrong time, well, you could get yourself into a heap of trouble.
- Gotta get the timing right for plantin’
- Gotta get the timing right for bakin’
- Gotta get the timing right for fixin’ things
I heard someone talkin’ ’bout how even eatin’ is about timing. Said somethin’ about “nutrient timing” and muscles. Sounded like a bunch of hooey to me, but I guess it makes sense. You gotta eat when your body needs it, not just whenever you feel like stuffin’ your face. Farmers know that, gotta eat a good breakfast before a hard day’s work. Can’t be out there in the fields on an empty stomach, you’ll just keel over.
And speakin’ of workin’ hard, you gotta know when to rest too. Can’t just go go go all the time, gotta give your body a chance to catch up. Timing ain’t just about doin’ things fast, it’s about doin’ ’em at the right time, even if that means slowin’ down sometimes. Like when you’re choppin’ wood. You can’t just swing that axe wild, you gotta take your time, aim right, and hit it at the right moment. Otherwise, you’ll just wear yourself out and not get much done.
So, this “raw timing,” whatever it is, it sounds important. Sounds like it’s about payin’ attention, knowin’ what you’re doin’, and gettin’ things done right, at the right time. Whether it’s plantin’ seeds, bakin’ pies, fixin’ engines, or just plain livin’ your life, timing is everything. And that’s somethin’ that even an old woman like me can understand.
Folks are always in a hurry these days, rushin’ around like chickens with their heads cut off. But sometimes, you gotta slow down and pay attention to the rhythms of things. You gotta listen to your body, to the land, to the seasons. Timing ain’t somethin’ you can learn from a book, it’s somethin’ you gotta feel in your gut. And the more you pay attention, the better you’ll get at it.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. Gotta make sure they’re gettin’ fed at the right time, you know. ‘Cause even chickens need good timing.
One more thing, this here “raw timing,” sounds to me like gettin’ the basics right. Don’t get too fancy, don’t overthink it. Just do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. That’s it. That’s real timing.
Like when you’re milkin’ a cow. You gotta be steady, and you gotta be consistent. Can’t be jerkin’ around or the cow will get spooked. Gotta have a rhythm, a flow. That’s what it’s all about.
