basic skills

Things I want to start learning:

- mechanical stuff: how to fix a car (more than just changing oil), gears, how to make things work

- woodworking: drill bits and saw bits, and putting things together, fixing things

- electrical work: basic stuff, how to fix things like non-electronic motors

I'm trying to find a community college, but most of their classes are 'lifestyle' and the career stuff appears to be more vocation based than practical based.

There's a woodworking shed right down the road, though, and they're open on Tuesdays and Fridays, so I might mosey on down there this week.

the mystery of the missing spill

After spending the day assembling and sorting and rearranging a few things in the workroom, I am mostly happy with the setup as it stands.

However, in the last hour, it's started to smell like I've spilled BPAL in here.

It's one of the good ones - vanilla and amber with a hint of...possibly pear? So it's a lovely scent in the air, but I can't find the spill itself, and that stuff is expensive!
