People who enjoy hitting things with hammers also enjoy:

Beating their wives
Beating their kids
Beating anyone !
Hunting and killing, fishing, guns, traps etc.

Other activities include BEER. Crack and hookers. Cars and yes TRUCKS with big tires. Ski do's, power boating. Don't forget eating and BBQ's. If that gets boring there is always the KKK.

That's because home repairs is not real life. Life does not work like hitting a nail with a hammer. But they never get it.

We were talking about you sending some maple syrup, or do I need to drive up there in my camo, toting my guns, driving my big ol pickup with big tires, dragging my significant other with her black eye with me to get some? You forgot the banjo music we so much love here in the south.

Oh yeah, home repair IS real life for some of us. We do it every day. It's our way of making a living.

I actually enjoy home repair. It is not my business but maybe one day it will be. I always have some sort of project going on and I am sure once this house is done I will sell it to start another one.

Uh, shouldn't that read; "Y'all forgot the banjo music......"

ps: give me a good bluegrass group any day.

I'm being sarcastic but there is some truth to it. If you are working with an object or tools all the time rather than a human beings there is tenancy to become desocialized. Job sites become another world outside of civilized reality. New rules come in place a sort of jungle.

 

[oldognewtrick]

Jungle, have you ever worked on a real construction job?

 

[Chris]

For us it is like a family environment. We have to take care if each other. Especially when in a twenty foot deep trench.

A guy who works solo - maybe a handyman - who works in empty buildings may get de-socialized, but any crew should feel pretty much like a team. I think computer geeks have a much higher risk of being de-socialized.

Yes, yes we do.

There are days I don't leave my house, but of course I'm socializing here with you so that compensates.

One would think most of the regulars here are a little geeky (I know i am)

Speak for yourself snailman. I've been called a lot of things in my life...geeky isn't one of them...:banana:

 

[slownsteady]

Haven't you heard? Geeky is the new black. But you wouldn't know that unless you got away from that computer a little:rofl:

Snailman, Indeed!!!

 

[nealtw]

Geeks will save the world, the rest of us just have to fix things and keep them running.

I've got an iPhone, I can't get away from it. Seldom use the PC anymore. Seemed like a good idea when I got this stupid thing, now I'm wondering why.
