You could get a tiny little pick and go poke the bugs that the woodpeckers are eating one-by-one. Kill 2 birds with one...pick?
Just a thought, even I'm not that bored. Yet.

You could clean out your garage as you stated. and any parts you dont need I have a good home for
Atleast your getting to be a little more happier.
Im sure you'll find something productive to do, and maybe you won't run into any more morons tomorrow.
Good luck

If you're just looking for something to do.......

Could you not take your stores of knowledge and use them to teach a course? Adult continuing-education sort-of-thing? Doesn't pay squat, but quite rewarding. And who knows? It may lead to more "fruitful" opportunities.

It has come to the attention of the Her Majesties Royal Society for Writing Boring Things on the Internet, that YOU, Sir Theologian - have provided the most pertinent boring content available on or about the internet today.

It is therefore decreed, and in triplicate - for redundancies sake alone (if for no other obvious reason) that you shall and have obtained the highest ranking for the most redundant and particularly evident demonstrable ability to perpetuate the high art and peculiar ability to practice that which is most commonly regarded as the art of the "FILIBUSTER" for which WE award you this day an Knighthood in this wise:

THAT: The here named miscreant, elsewhere reknowned as THEOLOGIAN - by his own, sole, and complete initiative - has in fact transpired to the unique ranks of the Queens own Royal Society for the Extraordinary Usage of Linguistic Excess to the Detriment of Modern Communication Technology.

WE therefore Knight thee:

Sir BABBLE-ON...

Heh - heh....

Look at it again!

I suddenly realised that what I wrote was unseemly in a moderator. And with that thought - a brain storm occurred...

Thumbs up Boredom

Theo, I would love to be bored for a day or two. Between the little woodshop and tinkering with the trucks, I just about never even get the yard work done. Enjoy it, if ya really feel ambitious then start a little cabinet shop and I promise the bordome will evaproate, quickly.


Greywolf. I will have to give it to ya. You should knight yourself.

Wouldn't it be funny if Greywolf or some other moderator actually changed Theo's username to Sir Babble On?

Maybe I just shot myself in the foot. I hope not.

Shame you ain't down here, Theo. I'd have to tap you to help me do a "Clean Sweep." We have entirely too much junk cluttering up the dump, and I'm danged sick and tired of looking at it!

Unfortunately, it's a 2-man job. A lot of this crap is HEAVY!

Anbody need some high-quality junk?

Inviting a guy to come root through junk, and not telling 'em where it is ain't nice....

Throwing Her Majesty at an Aussie is not nice..
But it involves a lot less jail time than throwing an Aussie at Her Majesty.

From reading between the lines of former posts, I recognize that in one of your former lives that you learned and aquired the ability to focus on the mission with the upmost clarity.
From more receint posts you have voiced your displeasure with both your last sustainable employer and the woodpeckers attempting to destroy your house.
With these facts in mind, I believe that you should be able to come up with a comprehensive plan, which when employed, will provide you with better things to do than to sit at your PC all day reading such meaningless things as this very post.
