HGTV + Greg = Not Resting Until I DIE!!!

Speaking of not resting, I got KO'ed by a migraine for a couple of hours earlier tonight, which meant me not getting the things done at work like I wanted to so I wouldn't have to work (or feel guilty for not working) on Monday. BUT, now that the meds have kicked in, and I'm feeling nice & energized by a Wendy's Spicy Chicken sandwich, I'm off to fixing some more stuff at work.

However, I got the BRILLIANT idea to check if the cable tv at work carries HGTV while I run some installations that take about an hour a piece, and the heavens opened and I am watching HGTV in HD, and life is wonderful. Ahhh...I think HGTV appeals to the blue collar worker in my genes. I'm becoming convinced that buried somewhere in every Hispanic's genetics is hidden (or public) love of manual labor.

Ahhh, manual labor...so many things I wish I knew how to do, and if I had unlimited time, brainpower, and resources, here are the many skills I would love to add to my knowledge palette:
- The contractor named "Jose" in me would probably appreciate knowing: plumbing, carpentry, drywall, electrical work, tiling & brick veneers.
- The green "Joe" in me would love to know: diesel mechanics! I also recently became aware that there is a biodiesel plant in Wilson, NC!!! How cool is that? Best of all, biodiesel prices are comparable to gasoline & petroleum-based diesel prices! ...maybe there is a future oil-free alternative fuel in biodiesel??? I hope so if it means Made in the USA! :) ...that, and a little on solar paneling, real furniture restoration skills, and while we're at it, some serious gardening & landscaping skills.

Ugh...I think I'm gonna have to pick and choose a few, or else I'll be 85, really tired, and still nowhere near finished. But for now, I'll enjoy some Income Property while this last install finishes up! (I LOVE this show!)
