I'm tired of filling my time with hobbies that do nothing but make time disappear, so I and a friend of mine are going to teach ourselves Latin. I had a couple of years in college, but I was a slacker and wasn't ever good with it. Plus it's been 15 years, so I'm basically starting from scratch. We're using Wheelock's Latin, the standard text, and YouTube videos for pronunciation.

That wasn't bad. What WAS bad was the endless run around from the parts stores that would order a part "It's coming in from Columbia, SC. Be here tomorrow at 9am!" Can you hear my derisive laughter from here? "I need the little plastic clips that undo quick couplings on the transmission lines that run into and out of the radiator. " Oh, we have those." Get there. "Oops, sorry... " says the ninteen year old young lady behind the counter..."I thought you meant the clips that hold them on. "Hey, have you got a bottom hose for the radiator of a "x".?" Nope have it here in three days, or you can drive twenty five miles to florence to get one!" Seriously? I mean, it was three different parts companies, and they all crapped out on me. So, I learned how to replace a radiator, and how to keep my cool and not burn down a town. Does that count? Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops! Something pithy!

But, years ago when I went through voc rehab they gave me tests to determine what they would help pay for. One was dexterity. The ruled out surgeon or guitar player. needless to say, it ain't going well. Hell, I can't even figure out how to tune the damn thing correctly, with an electronic tuner. But, I'm trying to set aside an hour a day. Not easy, but I'm trying. Last edited by rickshaw1; 01/20/18 09:10 AM. Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops! Something pithy!

To old to do anything with it, just enjoying the knowledge. Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops! Something pithy!

I almost posted about it in the "Crow" thread, but I want to give it at least until the end of next month. I have an unfortunate history of leaving jobs soon after starting them. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

There are three year olds better than me, but I keep on trying. Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops! Something pithy!

I need to get better at it for my diabetes, but honestly, I watched family members deal with it til it became an obsession and that made them miserable. I don't wanna be miserable for my wife and son so I just do my best. Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops! Something pithy!
