I'm pretty good with Electronics. Would like to get my EE one day.
I've got a green thumb and pretty good at growing things.
Light auto repair.
Appliance repair.
TV repair.
Computers.
Good at visualizing things in my head and making a product out of it.
Sketching things.


The bad:

I suck at maths. Well, it's not that I completely suck, it's that I have a hard time remembering formulas and crap.

I can't leave things well enough alone; I have to figure ways to "improve" them and sometimes just make it worse.

Measuring twice, cutting once.... I've gotten better about it, but sometimes I'm just a little too eager to do something and I mess up on the measurements and don't find out until stuff doesn't fit...

I get really crabby when I'm hungry... Although I guess that's not really a "skill" or anything. :arf:

Starting one project and completing it before I start working on something else. I've been trying to get better at this too and so far it's been working, to a degree. What usually tends to happen is that I start working on something, don't have what I need so I put it on hold and I start something else and then I put that on hold because I come across something else I need for that and I just keep bouncing back and forth between projects. I still have to go back and finish up my LawnBoy kart, but I need a clutch for that...

Oh man, I'm starting to feel like this is a therapy session of some sort so I think I'll leave it at that.

converting electric vehicles into gas

[Cam]

Since i like to leave on a good note, im not too flash at maths and theroey, my memory is usually only existant when the subject interests me, and i have quite the short fuse when it comes to anger. personality wise i am stubborn and not good at making everyday decisions - changes when at work though.

However, i work as an engineer and the practical side of maths and expecially technical drawing i am great at, i have a mechanical mind and i will refuse to pay money for someone else to fix something, so i am skilled at working on cars and other vehicles, i love my engines and i possess a lot of knowledge on them, im a good versatile welder and can fluently weld with any type of welder, my literature is sound and i can come up with many creative soloutions to problems.

[sideways]

Bad: Paying attention to anything that doesn't interest me, remembering anything that doesn't interest me, finishing projects, socializing, pretty much failed English and SOSE every year at school (see first 2 comments), I spend WAY top much time on the computer looking at forums and stuff(instead of working in the shed or sleeping), spending money on stuff (ie, I never do), I'm a huge hoarder too. I'm not sure if those last to are bad though! Others seem to think so... :toetap05:

My expertise:

• RWD Peugeots, I can tell you pretty much anything you want to know about those
• Car restoration
• Suspension design
• Engines, modifying, restoring, the theory behind them
• Suzuki LJs
• Taking the most dead heaps of crap ever and making them work
• Bush mechanics(ie fixing something with minimal tools and items at hand)
• Victas
• Weird and wonderful engine designs, mostly from the early 1900s, I have a LOT of info on that kind of stuff.
• Computer Aided Design

Thanks

My expertise:
Women

My weakness:
Women

"There's only 2 ways to handle a women...and nobody knows either one of them."

 

[redsox985]

Just like women, so too for computers: every year a new model is released that is younger, more advanced and gives a lot more.

A woman is just like a computer: you are happy with what you have but when you see what your friends have got, you are sure you want what they have.
