A rather crooked fence....The old fence between the neighbour and I was about 30 years old, and wobbly...we started with the best intentions, neither of us had done one....and it showed. It is up...done. Not perfectly straight, not perfectly upright, but it's done....
Next year the other side of the yard, and some lessons hard learned.

Fences can be harder than they look.
Just remember to dig deeper than you think is necessary, and if you get even the slightest feeling that a string line might help (over however short a distance) then you string that line -- it's never not worth the effort.

Well, I started trying to learn a musical instrument, but found out my only talent is for playing the radio. Then, I thought making videos would be neat, but I was informed that I have a face perfect for radio. So, I thought about singing and was told that I should be on the radio ... so they could turn it off.
Hmm .... maybe I should try radios? Now they tell me I have a voice perfectly made for Morse code.
I make, restore, use and collect Morse code keys and tinker with radios and antennas.

That's one of the better hobbies because (apart from the beautiful brasswork) you don't need 350,000 square yards of storage space for it.

I'm with you as far as "code", but the last word doesn't make any sense.

See the soapbox for a real morse code joke - for which I will no doubt be chastised, so be quick!

Or you could say "my Dad made this". (Dada Didit).
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

At various times I have:
- rebuilt cars. Too many cars.
- renovate houses
- landscape (everything from the lawns, feature gardnes tree removal and inground sprinkler systems)
- I once had a thriving business growing and selling carnivorous plants. Isn't that what all high school kids did in their spare time?
- I make a better pavlova than Maxx.
cheers

That sounds like one of the main reasons I quit driving. I decided that time spent doing other things was time better spent.

That's something I can't quit.

Oh God, no! I don't mind getting dirty with machine oil, paint, sawdust, varnish, etc, but garden dirt?!?
That stuff's alive! It's full of living things!
I bought a house with gardens for the missus (and I've even bedecked/enplantered the garage roof for her), but she knows better than to ask me to stick my hands in mud. I can't be doing with that.

No, I just overpaid for 'em, you apple-loving bugger!

Hell, that's hardly an achievement; these beauty queens are cr@p at cooking.

It doesn't look like I will be able to get to MM's birthday - but in the event we both make it there, it'll be Pavs at 50 paces

I'm making Halloween costumes for my son and myself. I've also been tinkering with an arduino with him. I also got to do a little arduino demo for kids in a local foster care center. I've also built the site in my signature.
Also, I put together an android app that gives the user x-ray vision to look to the other side of the Earth.

My mother was a tailoress, and my daughter is studying all that fashion-designy malarkey. All I can do with needles is make holes in my fingers. The gene must have skipped a generation (unless there's another possible reason I'm missing).

Can't find it!
Where is it?
I desperately need to see the antipodes!

I've only tested it on my phone. I guess I'll have to look into getting it into one of the app stores.

Just a thought...
You didn't invent this to look up Australian girls' skirts, did you?
