Me about three years ago in 1870s garb. I call it my Colonel Sanders picture......

Gosh, Ringel. All this time I thought you were a very young person. Like in your twenties, maybe thirties. I dunno why, it's just the perception I had by your posts. Probably because of all of the tech stuff you post about.

~S~

Disabled/retired but I still do things to keep me as busy as possible and I still study. My school background is in the human sciences, History, Sociology, Psychology and Cultural Anthropology but I'm also an artist and good with building/repairing things.
Couple of years ago we found a heavily damaged Northern Furniture dresser, solid maple with maple veneer. The wife wanted a specific "finish" so I refinished it the way she wanted as her Christmas gift.

Start.

Finish

When I first got out of the Navy and started school my "job" for 3 years was lead vocals, back up percussion........ Had a lot of fun but wasn't good enough to make a career out of it. About a year and a half of college I was in pre-med until I decided I didn't want to be a doctor, was working as a specialized tech, ER, OR, ICU and CCU at a major metropolitan hospital in Northern Virginia. Got into security work then construction before eventually getting into government contract consulting work and specialized high end security work.

I love studying people, we're so predictable yet so unpredictable at times.

i say we all hop in the wayback machine to the early 70's....

Though that and the fact that I hadn't been through FMSS or MCMAP I did get some unofficial OJT in Panama from Top and Gunny when I was tossed in as a stop gap because there were no FMF trained Corpsmen at the time.

And we would know exactly what to invest in, when to invest in it and when to pull out and invest elsewhere.
