Well, I was reading Deception Point by Dan Brown, which is a really good book, when I came across a passage that involved using duct tape. Does that count?


Now that I think about it, this is gonna sound really, really weird.


I promise that if you read the book, it won't be.

So this astrophysicist, Corky, was standing in a motorboat. His leg was bleeding REALLY badly because these people had shot his leg multiple times. So, his motorboat was surrounded by sharks and bad guys. Hammerhead sharks and bad guys with bombs. And he had to lure them away from his friends, Rachel and Mike. But he had to stop the bleeding first. So what did he do? He wrapped his leg in duct tape! Problem solved (until he had to peel it off later, of course)!

Then the bad guys shot a bomb at him, but it missed, I think. 

But anyway... do I read weird books? 

Probably not. Okay. I'm gonna go back to reading my book about a small little man who goes on a dragon hunt with 14 or 15 other little men by way of pony.


Don't pretend that you aren't reading that book too.

No Katie, not like that. 


I make duct tape flowers of course :P


I used a bobby pin for a stick, and duct tape for the duct tape.

Did you know that 3M used to sell duct tape bandages? This probably isn't real, but, for the sake of my hopes and dreams, we're just gonna pretend ;)

So, that's not what my post is about. I just needed a "attention grabbing" picture. This post is actually about my Grandpa- not the one who rides motorcycles, writes songs, or skis in his tiny backyard- my other Grandpa. 

Anyway, he did something to his arm and needed a sling. And what did he do? 

He made a sling out of duct tape. He didn't even need the stick.


I feel very proud.

Hey there! Did you know that when your cheap ladder golf set breaks, you can use duct tape and a stick to fix it? Well, yeah you did, because DTAAS can do anything. 


So,we had a ladder golf pipe-piece thingy that snapped. And we lost another piece that was 'sposed to go next to it. So, then, *ding*! Idea! DTAAS!! We used the stick part from a butterfly net and- you guessed it- duct tape!- to fix the problem. Ah, the world is right again. Well, almost anyway.
