I guess my best talent or skill is in Ultra low temp refrigeration and cryogenic refrigeration. There is not to many of us out there that do this type of work(craft). It helps to love what you do for work and get paid for it as well. I also am a self proclaimed long distance shooter and I think I'm pretty good at that as well.

My wife says my sniffer is so good that I should have been a dog. I'm good at making animal noises and other useless noises. People say I have a wild imagination and that I am very creative, don't know if this is good or bad however.
I am a pretty good cook if I say so myself. Some here on this site say I have an uncanny ability to spot queens, I believe its because I have unbelievable patience when it comes to bees that is.
I am extremely good at procrastinating. I can keep a secret, is that a talent?
Ok, enough already, this feels weird.

>>>>I look sweet as suger JP - But you hget too close I think Anette will smack you good with her umbrella<<<< JP, watch out from the other direction, too. He's said to have a wicked swing with his parasol.  I'm a mechanic. I have repaired hundreds of industrial machines the first time I saw one of it's kind. Without a manual. I just understand what should work and why it doesn't. I have repaired hundreds more over the phone, worldwide. They tell me the symptoms and I tell them what to adjust and how much. |

Those are some cool pictures, I took the liberty to view the gallery. I am definitely a amateur compared to what you can do, I'm sure of that. Mainly we hang soda cans from a barb wire fence and a few grid patterend targets at different distances to mix it up a little. It keeps us in practice for hunting season.

And I don't mind if JP gets close to you. Hee!! Hee!! Can't wait to hear the recorder John. I learned to play a recorder in grade school (I think they made everyone play one) The only thing I can play on it now is twinkle, twinkle little star. I do not have any special talents that I am aware of. Annette  |

Now Ms Annette, you have many talents that you are just not aware of, one definitely being your creative abilities. Just look at the wonderful soaps and lotions you just recently created, that everyone here has been ranting about, myself included. And you have become quite the beekeeper as well Annette. And not to mention the powers you have when holding the red umbrella!

Hmm, John, you have created a really weird thread, but it is a wonderful one. I think that many times the human does not give themselves enough credits for their fine abilities. We don't like to talk too much about them, we are that shy thing, but we should all toot our horn, we all have special talents, probably just don't think they are talents. My biggest talent that I think I have, if it can be called a talent is patience, along goes with patience comes an ability to stay focused on what to some people may seem the most mundane tasks. I guess that is patience. And creativity with designing gardens and growing flowers. Now patience for many things I do not have and I won't go into that. I take my hat off to people that have patience for the things that I don't.... I can sit for hours and hours and hours, I would venture all the day long from sunrise to sunset, pulling weeds, I can also dig the earth for as long with a shovel, I can also throw rocks for as long with my arms, smiling. I think this would come in the avenue of patience. So that be me. That be my most noticeable talent -- patience for strange things, and that list is long,   Have a most wonderful day, love our lives that we are so fortunate to be a big part of, health attraction. Cindi |

John said I could only list one. So I asked my wife about it. She started naming them off ans I said it had to be one. She thought about it for awhile and then said something I never paid much attention to.
She said I had this knack of seeing both sides of an issue/argument/dispute and then finding the truth somewhere in the middle.

I don't have many special talents, but my wife has one that I thought I'd mention. She can perform magic tricks! Well, one in particular, and that one is pretty specific....if you give her money, she can make it disappear!!!  Oh well, back into the dog house with me.... (she's actually quite fiscally conservative, just a joke at her expense) |

I recorded my playing of my recorder last night and will upload it to youtube today sometime. It is a short compilation of classical and jazz songs, only a few minutes short. My very good Tenor Recorder is at the other home, really beautiful looking and sounding, I'll get that next trip there. I also have an Alto plastic on (Yamaha) which has some beautiful tonal quality, I'll try them all INCLUDING the classic elementary 5th grader recorder we all played, unless of school had toilet paper and hair comb instruments - lol. I also vantriloquise pretty good, but laughingly cannot show my wife cause I always break up - I think I'll video it and show her how talented he hubby really is JERRYMAC: of course you can tell us all your hidden talents, keeping it to one might be a struggle. I'm just looing for the one suprizing thing that blows everyone away and I think we all have something powerful in us to share. |

Oh John, I want to hear you playing your recorder so badly, let us know as soon as you have uploaded to the site.
Do you guys remember Clegs? I am pretty sure that he is the one that videotaped his playing the acordian (before I say this, I should check, wrong information is wrong, hold on.....checking.....).yes, it was Clegs! Go and watch his video!!! A young man with lots and lots of gumption!!! I take my hat off to anyone that has the guts to videotape/audiotape, etc. themselves, to show the world their talent!!! I am serious, my hat off to ya!!! Go, John, go.
Clegs hasn't made any posts since December 23 last, wonder where he is. Actually, there are quite a few members that I think about that haven't been around for awhile, I miss these ones that I remember and think about now and then. Ooops, me bad, off topic, as usual. Sorries.
Jerry, tell us ALL your talents, I want to hear them, and I bet others would love to too, blow your horn!!! Work friends, show us your talents, tell us your talents, we have that right to speak highly of ourselves, we are all worth it!!! Have a wonderful and most awesome day, love our life, live our love of life, attract health. Cindi

Dallas, sounds like fun. I remember before I went into the Corps being very happy with myself for being able to hit a deer sized target at 100 yards with a scope. Then I went into the Corps and was shooting upper body sized targets at 500 meters with open sights. Then I went to DM school and was shooting 1 foot square targets at 800 meters with a scope. It all came from thousands or rounds down range and good schools and instructors. Here are the targets from back in 99ish when I shot the perfect score for qualification. The 800 meter target I no longer have. Another guy shot a perfect score at the same time and he had a 2/10s of an inch tighter group during a night shoot so he got “top gun” for the class. I think it was crap to use a night shoot to break the tie.  I dont know if this is really a talent but at least I get to tell some one about it.  This is a 100 meter cold bore 4 shot group. You have to adjust for a cold barrel for the first few shots. 
Click to enlarge!This was the 100 meter night shoot that cost me top gun 
Click to enlarge!This is the head target which you have to shoot in the 6 inch circle. Different ranges from 100 to 500 meters. 
Click to enlarge!If anyone wants to see more of my military photos you can go to www.secondfast.com |

I finished recording myself playing the recorder. I think I might use my quality plastic (honestly) Yamaha for better tone, but for a demo - my Maple Alto sounds good, although the cork pieces are in need of replacement, I ran tape over it and it played true I'll link it when I'm done in WEB VIDEO part of Coffee house. |

Brian, oh, that is so beautiful. One day, one fine day, you will publish these writings, not necessarily for monetary gain, but to show the world your beautiful accomplishments with writing. I will one day read all your stuff, not sure how to get it all, but I will one day have so much time to spend reading. Have a great, most wonderful day, Cindi |
