    For me it's:

    1) Plumbing. I'v tried to braise (sp?) pipes and everything leaks. I can build a $10K dining room dinner table out of exotic woods and can't hook up a water filter on my fridge!

    2) Hanging wall paper. Watching guys do it like it's nothing really pisses me off.

    How about you?

    A plumber once told me plumbing's easy...you only have to master two things, **** runs downhill and payday's on Friday.

    Woodworking is a skill I'd like to aquire someday, I just don't have the space for all the tools right now.

    Marketing. And everything that goes with it. I can take on technical and mechanical details, but try and market myself and services, not very savy.

    Off the top of my head, I'd say play the piano. I can think of a lot of things I just don't understand that I'd like to though...

    I put my "hot" on the right. Didn't have enough hose to go from the wash tub in Mr. Shop to the dishwasher (err, parts washer) to get hot water instead of cold. So, I'm basackwards.

    But I want to fly a helecopter.

    The more I read up on it, learn from friends, and read the FAA crash reports that happened to experimental (scratchbuilt) helo's, I've decided I'll never die in a chopper crash because I have common sense.

    When I read FAA findings and results to crashes being things like "Pilot in-advertantly hit the main power switch during hover resulting in power loss, resulting in crash. Finding: Pilots craft should have NOT have been equipped with main power switch with 6 inch long aluminum baseball bat looking flip switch tab and no lock cover. Pilots reason for non-approved switch installation... "It was cool looking, and kinda reminded me of a rat fink shifter." Or the ever famous "Pilot in-advertantly took off under power lines in his back yard."

    Thank you Darwin. Now where do I sign up for chopper classes?
