I've retired from fixing things for a living due to health problems.I still love to tinker and share my knowledge of 30 yrs of figuring out what makes things tick. So,if I don't know an answer,I'll look it up in a search engine just to stay sharp.It keeps my brain active.Over the years I've repaired engines;learned to do bodywork and painting of vehicles; home improvement; gadgetry;been through an apprenticeship for automated equipment mechanics;have repaired things sized from a tiny circuit board to a large 600 ton plastic molding machine; loved working in machine shop,doing welding.Nowadays, I like to use my welding as a sort of art expression,and it still helps me to feel useful if I can help someone save a bit of time and money and lower their frustrations.I've had complications from brain surgery and tis helps me to focus and stay sharp,helps me retain memory.I think this Yahoo thing is better than playing games because it keeps me sharp.
