The colorful words loose so much meaning when the only one who hears it is the Chipmunk that lives under the corner work bench.

Phil,

Fun it is. We may sound "angry" but in reality we love this stuff. The barn is a nice retreat from the world of wives, kids, work and politics. Every day at the barn is a learning experience (mind you last weekend's lesson was the pronunciation of French curses...). Just taking a break outside of the barn is a lesson in nature. All sorts of flora and fauna make their way to Bob's paradise. So, not only do we get to commune with nature, but we get to fix/break/fabricate things. It's a great time.

Being mechanically inept "righty tighty, lefty loosie" is the extent of my tech knowledge, it is fun learning how things work (both the right way and the wrong way).

The historical significance aside, this is a great hobby mainly due to the folks you meet and the friends you make - even if it is a chipmunk!
