Skills you would like to learn

I've been looking a Whizzer knock-offs lately.
I've noticed they all seem to come with pretty much the same conversion kit, all using one of five different kinds of stripped down lawn mower engines I could pick up at my local hardware store.

I've been hearing for years about kids putting a lawn mower engine in their bicycle, & i wish I could figure out how two do that...

Gosh, all sorts of things I wouldn't mind learning.  

There's all kinds of software programs I wouldn't mind learning, usually expense ones that I'd need college classes for.  

Wouldn't mind learning a bit about cars, basic repairs and maintanence and stuff.  I remember a couple summmers ago I helped my stepbro do some repairs to my car and it really helped me understand the appeal of the whole, working with your hands thing, you know?  

Wish I could learn electronics, seems like something that would interest me.

As hard as I've tried, Ive never taken to any musical instrument, not the guitar, keyboard, harmonica or clarinet.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out DAZ 3D, with little success.

Wow, that's four out of the five instruments I've tried but failed to master.  You left out the trumpet.

I'd like to go back and learn the harmonica properly.  And learn self-defense, though I'd prefer down and dirty practical streetfighting to martial arts.  And brewing my own beer is something I've always considered taking up.

My StepDad plays trumpet professionally in a local alumni band. My brother in law plays trumpet at his church every Sunday.
About fifteen years ago, I bought myself one of those $10 bugles you find in curio shops (it really works) to see if I could join in on the fun. You can probably guess how that turned out.

I've never tried brewing, & even though I don't drink anymore, I've always wanted to, especially after Ken Burns latest opus.
My cousin Brian used to brew a lot before he got deep into restoring & racing vintage bikes. He now preoccupied with his Moto Electra Racing Team, & will soon be giving lectures on how to make Carbon Fiber Nano Tubes.
He's accomplished everything I've ever wanted to try!

I'm currently somewhere just out of the gate on restoring my '75 CB400f, but being on SSDI in this economy tells me it won't be anytime soon.

I have thought I would like to take up fencing.   (Not the keep-the-horses-in kind, I can do that!)  I'm probably too old for it now - reflexes have slowed down too much.

I take fencing, and there are many older fencers in the club.  One of them took it up as part of a physical therapy. 

Skills I would like to learn:
Computer maintenance-I'd love to be able to do the upgrades and work on my computer. Right now I'd like to do some up grades to my own, but don't want to risk damaging it. So if I want to get it done, I'd have to  pay for it.

Some more basic car or house maintenance.

I'd really like to know know how to draw well. I keep having visions of things and see shapes and what not in lclouds and floor tiles and everywhere. It would be nice to draw them in details beyong my ultracrappy stick figures.

I'd also like to know more about cars.
