Basically, it means you need a back-up plan or remedy in case of a mechanical snafu. Without knowing it, I packed a redundancy en route to sunny Scottsdale, AZ, the locus of our Golf Road Warrior trip. You see, somewhere in either the Grand Rapids or Dallas\/Ft Worth airport or parts in between there\u2019s my lost and forsaken laptop case wailing away and looking for its mommy, my Apple MacBookPro. Fortunately, I have the MacBookPro in my possession but in the heat and hurry of the TSA checkpoints or whatever, my trusty laptop case with the essential AC\/DC battery charger has gone AWOL.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, back to redundancies. On this trip, I also brought along my Dell laptop PC and packed it inside my large Travelpro luggage which I checked in Grand Rapids along with my golf clubs. So if worse comes to worst and I don\u2019t recover my laptop case I can fall back on my Dell laptop and still get my writing done this week. (Sorry, readers.)<\/p>\n<p>Sitting next to me on my flight from Dallas\/Ft Worth to Phoenix was a young Air Force serviceman, named Mike, who\u2019s been trained as a crew chief for jet maintenance and will be headed overseas shortly. Mike told me redundancies play a major role in F-16 aircraft maintenance. A single engine jet, the F-16 requires a special highly volatile fuel for the emergency power unit in case something goes awry and the main engine starts shutting down. This emergency power unit, fueled by a 56 pound tank, will allow the pilot to fly and land the plane within a ten minute window even if the main engine has shut down. Given that proper perspective, the angst of the missing laptop case suddenly dissipated.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, my clubs came off first on the carousel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A naval architect, my son-in-law Jit talks about the need for \u201credundancies\u201d in design and engineering.
