I few of us at work, who are over 40, started talking about the things we wish we could do and it got my thinking; so I thought I would start a thread.

What is something or things you wish you could do but never picked up.

Mine are...

1. Juggling ( For some reason i find it cool)

2. Welding (a skill that would save me tons of money)

3. Fly a plane ( I had a chance to learn and never did)

Fly an airplane
Weld
Machining
Gunsmithing

It's funny that I have a desk job, yet most of the skills I want to learn are labor intensive.

X2 on the welding. I can mig weld okay, but its questionable at times and im not so sure about a lot of them. I wish i understood a 4wd system better. I know how it works, but the terminology confuses me (mainly gearing stuff).
Im one of those people that has to figure out how to do something if im interested in it. I taught myself how to play the drums, guitar, and fiddle. But certain things just take lessons, and i dont have time to take classes.

I've been welding a long tome sitting at a desk sounds good to me. Done everything I've wanted to do. The one skill I'd like would be reading a woman's mind. Would that be a skill or a curse

Some things are better left alone. :)

I have had a very successful career in the Navy and the one skill I wish had learned was to make video's like Eddie and Cindy.

1. wish i went to auto tech school. i would love to know more about cars, jeeps, trucks, etc rather than stats.
2. charting for boating. that way i can do long trips but it will help with me trying to get into the coast guard as well.

Auto tech skills and all that falls under it - metal work, fabrication, welding, engine rebuild, paint, etc.
Martial arts and sword fighting skills.
Improving on my music skills.
Pick up chicks at random skills.
I'd definitely like to be a Force sensitive.
Wouldn't mind having Saiyan powers either.
To add to the auto tech skills I'd love just to know how to manipulate materials to make things - armor and sword smithing etc.
Basic to mediate survival skills.
Drifting skills (never really had opportunity to try it)
That's all I can think of atm

I hear ya there! I've been welding for a job out of high school almost nine years and since I don't get to build anything I like or for my jeep I feel like I'm sick of it.

Everyone that wishes they could weld or fabricate its a lot like playing with Legos start somewhere see what fits and is functional when everything works right weld it up ( the key is to be comfortable and have your machine set right, the rest is like running a bead of silicone in your shower-somewhat!)

You already a Jedi Master so that is checked. As for sleeping until the alarm, not going to happen, you are a veteran and it is just not going to happen.
