Re: Fun In Construction


Play with my 4 year old. Read to him and teach him how to develop self confidence that he can do things on his own. Pay attention to him even when I am distracted by something else. Let him and my wife know how I feel, on a regular basis. It comes back 10 fold to me.

Learn more about proper business methods from this and other forums.

Learn more about computers, so I don't feel so archaic.

Get together with friends every Thursday evening for a group dinner at a local restaurant.

Hope for warmer weather so I start riding my Harley Springer and Fat Boy soon.

Snacking in front of the TV at night with Mrs. Ron while watching shows like American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Pussycat Dolls. If she's not around I'll watch more manly shows

Fun on the job - learn submission holds on the help - play a game of: "Can you make it out of the van before tapping out"

Re: Fun In Construction


outdoors stuff like Hockey, Hiking, Hunting, shooting, Rafting, horseback riding, Biking, Climbing, 4 wheeling, skiing, dog sleading, and running. Computers and electronics
Building and repairing different mechanical and electrical stuff- computers, electronic kits, tools, camping equipment, ect.
I like to get deals on broken stuff and repair it to working condition.
I also like to build new stuff from kits and plans, along with stuff I come up with on my own.

stuff from Lindsay's Technical Books always features prominintly on all my wishlists- http://www.lindsaybks.com/
