The IQ... when I used to live out on the land. Just the thought of living out on the land was pretty tough, and very interesting. And, as the ice was melting, when the spring was coming, I had to use some certain tools to do whatever I needed to do. So, this earth just tells me there's gravity out there. And, the part of it is just loaded with weight. And, from that gave me an idea was how to deal with things that I can't get to, which was using certain amounts of types of heavy rocks, or something that's light. So, when I did have that idea, I knew exactly what to do, and because of that, I didn't have any problem going anywhere.

And, when I did, I... one day, I went out fishing, and my husband went out goose hunting and the goose he caught, he couldn't get to. It was pretty much 100 yards away from him, and he had no idea how to get to it. And he had a rope, but didn't have a stick. There was nothing but a rope.

So, he asked me for knowing the weight of heavy load, and the weight of very light that can float like a feather. So, I thought of that. My husband came to me. It took him about half an hour to get to me, because he was elsewhere, while I was at the lake. So, he came to me, and asked me how was he going to get to the lake.

Well, we have a long rope. The rope is longer than 100 yards. So, I got a hold of the rope. And, I was looking at some certain rocks, whether if it's one pound, or two pounds, or three pounds, or even less than a pound - about a half a pound, or even less than a half.

So, I tied a knot to the rock, which was about one pound to half a pound of a rock. So, I tied it, and swung it towards the ice, and as I was swinging it, I was making sure the rope wouldn't slip out of that knot, because if it gets wet, the rope tends to loosen up. So, I made sure it was pretty tight. And, the goose was on the ice, and my husband said to me, "how did you learn this?" I said "it's my own creation, because it's my own creation."
