my other talent...
- Thread starter BassGirl1122
- Start date
I can't draw straight line with a ruler myself...
...my other talents would probably be athletics (high jumped 6'4" in high school) and general mechanical/electrical/technical geekery... I'm an electrical engineer, with a degree in computer engineering (I was a design engineer on the Pentium 4) who fixes everything (house, cars, motorcycles) himself.
... and I'm reasonably good at shooting things to eat
From the same as my drummer it seems.
When we're uncertain of what key a song we heard was in, we play notes from C going up until he says "Yes, that's this note". He's always right.

Very nice drawings!
I used to be a US Champion speed sailor. I held the record in my weight class for a few years back in the 90s. It was big fun, although the wipeouts can be pretty gnarly.
Now I just windsurf recreationally when it's really good here in the Columbia River Gorge, which happens pretty often without having to drive too far. These pics of me were taken last summer on a fairly windy day -- probably 40+ mph average.

I'm really good at chugging whiskey straight, but I have a lot of practice.
I'm also really good at abusing my liver.
I'm also really good at getting drunk.
Also I can pull my socks tighter than anyone else on talkbass. I love tight socks.

Nice drawings. Good post.
My other talents...I dont' know if I'd call them talents....mmm...a bunch of stuff (some more boring than others)...degree in Child Psychology, accounting(passed CPA exam), business software consultant, real estate property manager, computer stuff, fix stuff, writing, taking photos/photochop. Back in the day I was pretty good at playing different sports and also became a brown belt in judo.
Here's a couple of photos of a friend's band that I recently chopped.

I like acrobatics...
So why post a messed-up picture of a headless lamb wearing jeans and jumping?

Very cool!!! I've sailed all my life. My old housemate worked for Fanatic back in the day. I had quite a collection of windsurfing gear and got pretty good at it. Living where you are must be incredible!!!
I'm not half bad at working on imports. I've worked on Mitsubishis, Nissans, Mazdas, and Subarus. I've done several motor swaps, mostly putting various Japanese turbocharged engines into Nissan 240SXs, like the one in my sig. I've never worked as a mechanic...it's all for fun.
Bah..
You gotts to put some American beef in there, that's how you stop the show..
My friend and I built a 96 Nissan 300zx with a 350 Chevy V8 (which was originally in a stock car racer).
It was his car, but I helped him with most of the machining that needed to be done. I also did the paint and fiberglass speaker enclosure.Nastiest damn car I have ever been in.
I'm sure that was a fun car. I'm just not a big fan of American cars. I've seen some LSX engines in imports that looked like they'd be a lot of fun, but I really prefer the feel of a turbo car to a NA one.
Plus, I'm a big fan of motor swaps that can be done in a weekend. 240SX + SR20DET only take basic hand tools, a little bit of wiring, and some patience. Then you have a reliable, 250hp (with minor bolt-ons), 2600lb, 50/50 weight distribution, rwd car that gets good gas mileage and can be daily driven. Oh yeah, you also get to keep power steering and air conditioning. Being in FL, I'm sure you can appreciate that!
