Idle

I'd like to slug whoever said "idle hands are the devils playmate."  What does "idle" mean in that statement?

Idle to me is something smooth.  It means my machine is purring like a fat cat being petted, a subtle sound that all is good in the motor world.

It's okay to have idle hands, at least in the sense that you are not having to put in a ton of work when you have some time off.  There's times where my hands hurt more from gardening than a good ride.  It is acceptable to be idle if that means you are doing something you want to.  It's all in how you defend "doing nothing."
