I enjoy it.  I am currently on an organic farm near Salinas (home of John 
Stienbeck) helping out fixing things.  Over the last week I worked on a 
1948 tractor for a friend in Los Angles then yesterday worked on a late 80s 
tractor here.  This summer I will be sweating away in Missouri Ozark 
humidity building and fixing things, drinking beer, eating pizza, and 
enjoying many hours of conversation.  My hope is to be in North Carolina in 
the fall, I have a shed to finish and I believe someone's husband invited 
me to take a short river trip.
