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.

I was a teacher for a short period of time. The first thing I did was throw out everything that the prior teachers did and were teaching then rebuilt the entire program on real-world situations with free docs/books/etc online. I did not teach for a book or a test, I taught for the work.

The students that finished the class all got great jobs right out of graduation and most of them still check up with me on stuff. They were motivated and worked hard but I hope that I imparted a little of the "if you want to, learn it" mentality in them.
