WindowFX!  But not the Stardock kind.  Here:  http://www.totalhomefx.com/

Finding new ways to deck out the house and the costumes for Halloween. 

Well, as I am retired, all my time is spare time.  I design WB's is all and watch some T.V. ☺

I pretend to know my way around Photoshop. Occasionally I belch out combinations of pixels that, I hope, have some kind of appeal to others. Sometimes it works.

I'm also an Operator on two crisis lines, here in BC.

Some people mentioning car brands, and although I am not a car enthusiast, I have owned MG's (an MGB GT and an MG Midget), a Fiat 1500 Cabriolet, a 1973 Dodge Challenger, two Corvette's (a 1964 Convertible and a 1967 Coupe), and a 2010 Camaro (Transformers Bumblebee look alike). They were all great cars, but now I am going green (because we ALL need to) and I drive a 2012 Chevrolet Volt. I buy gas maybe 3-4 times a year for it.   

You liking the Volt?  I got offered a decent deal on an older model a couple years back.  Now that would be a fun spare-time activity:  working on EV's.  And finding creative uses for aged LiIon batteries.

I wish I had known about that BC crisis hotline after Game 5 of the NLCS.  I needed it.  

Saving the planet shouldn't even be a necessary selling point.  EV's have a faster zero-to-60 than gas guzzlers.  You can stick an inverter on the batteries and power the house with it. 

Yep, just another good thing about them!

You might want to rethink that solution.  Electricity doesn't come out of the ground.  Someone has to generate it.  Unless you are also pushing nuke power that means that someone is burning the deadly fossil fuels to make your nice clean electricity.  I understand that the average electric car has a larger global carbon footprint that the average gasoline vehicle. 

Now, China has special problems with local pollution, and electric cars move the emissions outside the city. 

Out of sight, out of mind.

Very cool Paul, bout time they rewarded your years of volunteering.

I'm retired as well. Work on windowblinds daily but need to have netflix playing half screen to take up the slack time.

My wife (sweet woman that she is) works from home so I'm the house daddy, cleaning, cooking, yard work, etc.

I try to spend time with me 16 yer old son but he's usually on the computer. He has his learner's permit and we make time for him to spend time on the road. I enjoy doing this and he's, so far, a responsible driver. He has all of his hours in, just waiting for his year to be over to move to the next level.

Even better, you're in NE Tennessee.  An amazing part of the country.  Time to go white watering the Ocoee!   Or even better, it's about that time of year to run the New River.   I think early November is when they open the dams up. 

I enjoy getting out on the water and fishing when I have time. I also do some hobby visual design work when the mood strikes me. Other than that it's usually playing one of the many games sitting in my Steam library collecting dust.
