No Really, You can just do stuff. I posted this https://poal.co/s/oldtechnology/750937about a crazy ass "RV" built in the 1930s but you know what?

If you have some time and space and a little bit of $$ you can just build stuff if you want to. You don't need permission. You don't need a engineering degree (reading helps).

Don't let others put limits on what you want to do.

I think I'm going to build a experimental aircraft once I move and have the space for it. Because, why the fuck not? However, I will buy a parachute and not make my own.. That I feel like would be a bad idea. I am not very good at sewing.

In my younger years, I used to just DO things all the time. If I needed something fixed, had an idea for making something cool or helpful or just plain wanted to see what I could come up with from some spare bits and bobs, I'd just go DO something. Now in my more mature years I seldom have the time to just go do things. I do miss making shit and modifying things. I have a long list of things I'd like to do but I just can't get the time for the physical building it seems. I make music now because that lets me relax while still just DOing something. I don't know shit about formal music making or recording, but I just DO it anyway.

As I get nearer being able to free myself from working for a living, I will have to get back to doing stuff. I really want to build my own home control system again, but not using all that stupid cloud-based garbage or even the equally shitty open source shit either. I want it tailored to my ideas and fuck everyone else's (((standards))). I also want to gut a dishwasher, laundry machine and refrigerator and rebuild them with my own intelligent control and make my own features. I will get back into building lasers again too and maybe even build the robot arm I designed as a teenager. Hell I might give building a 6-wheel buggy a go too. I just gotta get past this damned need to keep working towards retirement. I'm close but it still seems so far with all this jewed up shit in my world. Fuckin jews. I just want to DO stuff.

Awesome, I hope that it comes sooner than later and maybe you get some lucky $$$ coming in to help with your future projects.
