Good Will Hunting
Resevoir Dogs


(today, this minute, those are my movies)

******* 5 last things you fixed/ or attempted to fix.

Birdcage....great movie. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane had good chemistry together.

Actually all great flicks with memorable quotes. Love the Goodfellas "How am I funny?" scene....Wall-E is a great love story though done somewhat like a silent film. Good Will Hunting has something about apples... and Reservoir Dogs has a great opening scene/debate.


As for things I've fixed lately......most are job related, so can't settle on an "attempt".

1. Removed and installed a double backdoor.
2. Installed bottom decorative trim for a raised side deck, goes out the client's bedroom.
3. installed some siding
4. put in posts in sand to build a foundation for a walkway to the beach from a client's house.
5. replaced my front brakes.

Name five skills you wish you had.

Pass it.

3) Old PC monitor
4) All the carpets, they've been torn to shreds at the corners by my cat.

1. AC unit filter......put a temporary bandaid on it by cleaning off the current one, thought I had more but going to need to run to the store to get some. But for now, things are working fine.
2. Dryer......damn thing keeps stopping or won't start unless the dial is in an -exact- spot.
3. A mount for my TRX. It's all ready to be put up, I just haven't gotten around to doing it.
4. Finish staining my back deck......the paint can only be put on when there are days with a window of 24 or more hours without rain, not in direct sunlight. It's like I'm taking care of a fucking Mogwai.
5. Gutters.....they're a bit old and just need replacing, but for now doing the job.

I'll try this again.....what 5 skills do you wish you had?

1. I have a friend who can play the accordian and she's quite the hit at parties. I think knowing how to play the accordian would be cool.

2. I cannot cook or bake. Well, I can. But I don't like to. I wish I had the skill of enjoying cooking and not having to follow a recipe to the T.

3. Remembering stuff. My memory in the last year has been crazy bad.

4. I wish I could fix my car.

5. Be a better listener.

Passing on - 5 skills you wish you had....

What's wrong with your car?

1. I can't sculpt for crap, always wished I was able too.

2. Read music. ( so debilitating )

3. Write fiction. ( well )

4. Adhere to a normal sleep schedule without pills and booze.

5. Come up with better " 5 Things " questions instead of constantly passing it on.

A good amount of these skills....well save for learning to enjoy cooking and listening, can be learned by watching youtube videos. I'm sure there are videos about the accordion, increasing your recollection abilities and I know there are plenty of videos on fixing cars, when I've had a problem fixing something on my truck, I'd watch some videos a few times and voila! The only suggestions I can offer for enjoying cooking more is try to either associate something you enjoy or a fond memory with it....such as cooking with your mom or another loved one.

As for being a better listener....well you just need to remember that you'd want someone to pay attention to you, so it's good to give the same curtesy back....no matter how boring the conversation may be.

1. Learn some languages......always wanted to be something of a polyglot.....perhaps I will eventually get off my ass (so to speak) and get some Rosetta Stone (or similar product) books and learn while I can.
2, Have better knowledge with computers....I can put in some code and taking care of it on the physical aspect is no problem....taking it apart to swap a battery or hard drive. What I'd really like to know is more about code.
3. Somewhat skilled at Chess, but I'd enjoy being more skilled a the game. Would help if more people I knew played. Practice makes perfect!
4. While I can work on a vehicle, I can only do so on my own or even with the assistance of a video to a degree. I'd love to be able to diagnose and fix any problem easy as pie.
5. Play the violin, piano and guitar. Maybe someday.

1. I wish I could identify birds better - especially by song. But I have no particular interest in working at it. I just want the skill magically
2. Upholstering. I have several things that need it, and know it will be expensive. (yes I know I could u-tube it, and I actually did re-upholster a couch years ago, but it is complicated skill to do well)
3. Rolling a kayak competently and in any conditions (I know I said this before. Still want the skill)
4. Wish I could totally be done with being mad at dad. (yeah - that would be a skill)
5. bake bread from scratch. That really great crusty french stuff.

What's wrong with your car?

Nuthin'. Thought it would be good to have those car skills so I didn't have to pay a million bucks whenever something went wrong.

5 skills

I wish I could figure out how to tandem wrap my twins. I've tried and tried and tried and watched videos and had hands on help and I Just. Can't. Do. It.

I wish I was better with time management, I could get a lot done.

I would love to have the time and money and skills to get into leather work, for a lot of reasons

I wish I was fluent in another language. Don't really care which.

I would love to learn an instrument, maybe guitar. ❤

What doesn't youtube have!?

I actually have been cooking more in the last year, in an effort to be healthier. I begrudgingly admit I've had fun trying new recipes, although I'm not sure my better half appreciates the effort. Sometimes he'll say I just want pork chop. No funky sauce, nothing stuffed.

That's a good idea for the car. Nothing's wrong with it now but if it does, I'll keep it in mind.

As to listening... I do think I'm a pretty good listener now. It's something I've worked on the last several years. It's just a constant thing to remember.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Nuthin'. Thought it would be good to have those car skills so I didn't have to pay a million bucks whenever something went wrong.

it's why I do it....plus my truck is my baby and there is a strong sense of accomplishment/feeling of masculinity for doing something of that nature.

Is the twins thing a euphemism....or do you have twin kids? And don't get me started on time management....never seen the movie but that Justin Timberlake/Amanda Seyfried film dealing with buying time would probably be one of my nightmares come to life if that happened. Geee...I wonder why you'd like leather work. And no comment in regards to the instrument.....too easy there.

I was going to say "porn" but I don't think that's true anymore. Seen some smut on youtube. *gasp*

Trying to be healthier certainly helps and it can be fun trying to make new concoctions or try a different process in making your food. I have one of those magic bullet blenders.....love the damn thing cause besides smoothies, I've made a number of great meals/treats with it. Plus it's great for mixed drinks!

Hopefully it stays that way. Thankfully I've always been ok with the basic stuff in car repair (changing the oil and all that nonsense) but when I redid my front brakes, i recalled the time a cousin helped me fix it on my old car. Plus my step father came by and gave me a hand. Now that I've done it a few times, it's a piece of cake. Whatever you do, take your time, remember your steps and go with it. When I took my washing machine apart to get something that was clogging the damn thing up out of the way, I printed instructions and kept them nearby. It was a pain in the ass, but I finally got it done.

Before you know it, it'll be like second nature to you.....even if you're trying to fight the urge to stay awake.

And you're quite welcome.....glad to help out where I can.

Well congrats to you! I'm a twin myself.....got them in similar outfits often? And I will check it out eventually.....it did look good, just know the concept would be horrible....never seems like there is enough time in the day. Um....noooooooo. *looks around shifty like* Ok....um....maybe...... :rollseyes:

I don't dress them alike all that often, they aren't identical, but it is cute when they're all matchy matchy.

You wouldn't happen to know where I could get some *ahem* private lessons?

Well that's good....although I love my brother, it was annoying being dressed alike. Thank god that didn't last for too many years. We are identical.

*chuckles softly* I may know of a place or two where you could enquire.....and don't worry, no need to bring your own, a "practice flute" shall be provided.

Ok I broke the thread so I'll fix it.

Favorite places (is this still a subject?)

Jökulsárgljúfur National Park in Iceland… and the nearby community of Husavik… where you can sit on the deck at the harbor, drink beer and watch the fish being unloaded.

Sister Bay, Door County, Wisconsin. Especially the waterfront and Bier Zot.

Kettle Moraine ski trails for cross country skiing better than sex!

Bayfield, Wisconsin

Any Milwaukee County Park or bike trail. Especially the beer garden in Estabrook Park.

Bucket list. I’d always wanted to go to Mars, but I’ve changed my mind. No place for me but Pluto!
