Yeah same here....always hung out watching and helping my dad invent and repair things...He was a brilliant scientist....an inventor, jack of all trades, and electronic engineer for the Navy creating many military patents that they still manufacture today, then he went to be a chief engineer for Lockheed-Martin, and I am so proud of him for all he did and taught me, with the exception of one thing.... He took the contract to design the electronics for the magnets inside the CERN Large Hadron Particle Collider ...which is used for utterly evil intentions....I tried to tell him what it was used for, but despite the CERN scientists actually admitting what they were doing, my dad just gave me that loving, yet somewhat "your crazy, honey" look.... After all I am the "Jesus freak/conspiracy theorist" one in the family.... if they ever saw what I typed in this thread I think they would try to pull off an "Intervention" on me LOLMe too! As well as a Gopher (Go For this & go for that, picking up job supplies).
Dad's work seemed much more interesting, though, he was always building something, what a creative mind, & he let me do stuff so I learned a lot, painting, using some tools, wish he would've taught me even more. Sure miss those that have gone over to the other side. Jim Croce was right, There never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Anyway that's how I got my nickname "MarGyver" from my past co-workers at a restaurant (my name is actually Mary).... I was a hostess there but thanks to taking after my dad, when something went wrong with the kitchen equipment or such (of course, always in the middle of a meal rush and no time to call in a technician) ...I'd say "Let me take a look at it" and I'd always figure out a way to at least temporarily jimmy-rig it (or just properly fix it) and get us through the rest of day, or until someone more qualified could come in. Anyways, I ended up being in charge of maintenance and repairs for the whole restaurant chain for the next 20 years.
Sorry I didn't mean to make this so long and start tooting my own horn... I'll just toot my Dad's horn because it's all thanks to him....I miss him so dearly
( or maybe I'm just looking particularly sexy right now....NAAAH!)
....and now they want to get rid of all CO2 producing livestock (including our chickens....can you say "Bird Flue"????) and have us eat lab-grown synthetic meats and bugs in order to "SAVE THE PLANET".... and they are already beta testing it in some school lunches and I'm afraid it's already in some products on our store shelves so read your labels and do not buy any products that has "bio-mass" listed in ingredients, because that is the dehydrated, ground up crickets, plus, if it says "natural flavors" on the label , and so many products do, it's a flavor enhancer called HEK 293 embryonic cell line ( kidney cells from aborted fetuses) and that's why we only eat what we produce here, for the most part....I know this sounds crazy but it's true...I have inside sources but don't take my word for it.... .do your own research ...the info is out there in plain site (until too many people catch on and it gets scrubbed).
