Last week I got all my housework items done that I intended to and even an extra item and realized that I was bored. This is a really bad thing for more. I have several things that I enjoy doing and for me to be bored means I didn’t have anything at that moment that offered much challenge or in depth involvement.
I don’t know about you but sometimes I like to have something to do that is going to have me so engrossed that I completely forget about time. I also like to build or make things or fix things or renovate things. I live in an apartment. That means the only real renovation would be to my stuff and most of that doesn’t need it right now. I do have a dresser I could refinish again, however; that’s more mess than anything. I could play World of Warcraft and that would suck up some time. But that is really all it would do is suck up some time. I needed something to do that doesn’t feel like just killing time. So what to do.
I started out getting some Lego Bionicels. They’re cool and all but they only took a few minutes to put together. How very disappointing and unsatisfying. I have a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle and I bought a 2000 piece puzzle. I’ve also bought a model airplane to put together. I got one of the old style that is made of balsa wood and you cover it in tissue paper. I remember helping my dad put together one of these when I was a child. Really a child, like about age 5 or so.
Last night and this morning I worked the 1000 piece puzzle. I’ve got other things I need to do today so I probably won’t be starting the other jigsaw puzzle this weekend. What I think I want to do is to work up to doing some of the cool projects I’ve seen on the website HacknMod (http://www.hacknmod.com). I saw that they have a project to make an off-road skateboard that is electric which looks really cool. I also saw a project that is a create your own segway type of vehicle. This really excites me. I’ve ridden a real Segway and think they are just a blast. How cool would it be to build one of your own.
Currently what I’m planning on doing is working on progressively more challenging build projects and working my way up to building my own segway type of vehicle. If I stay interested and on track I might be starting on it in about two years. If I don’t stay on track it will be longer or I will have lost interest or gotten distracted by something else that looked more entertaining at the time. That happens.
Now I’m off to do some housework type stuff and to work on cleaning off a computer that I’m getting rid of.
Cheers
