Arg. Reality sucks. I need to figure out a way to earn some extra cash. I really need to get started on my solar panels but haven't gotten there yet. I am wondering if I ought to buy a small generator instead of stressing over the solar right now. And I wish I knew how to weld. I really should have taken welding in school. I was going to but then ended up not doing it. It's so much cheaper when you can create the things you envision yourself and not have to rely on somebody else to do it. I've found that when you rely on somebody else, especially if it's a man, to do something it either ends up done the way they want it and not the way you want it if it ends up done at all. Men seem to be weird that way. You can figure it out, draw them a diagram, explain to them why it has to be just like you outlined then it still ends up how they wanted to do it. It might just be easier to bang your head against a concrete wall. Not that I'm saying that women are any easier to deal with. It's just that most of my experience has been with trying to get men to do something because it involved a power tool that I don't know how to use. Because of this, I've learned how to operate quite a few power tools. My next learning project will be the table saw. Dad said he will show me how to use it, so that's cool.
