What are your other talents?

I restore cameras for a living. I'm a tinkerer by nature. If it ain't broken, I shouldn't mess with it, but I'm going to anyway. :lol:

I was a semi-professional trumpet player (had a few paid jazz gigs, had an opportunity to practice with the Milwaukee symphony orchestra once) in a past life. I'm really, really good at being distracted too.

Vocalist (did the Anchorage Concert Chorus this season), violinist, conductor, music director, composer, arranger, barista, makeup artist, drag queen, and a pretty good LGBT community representative for my area!

Oh, and I can cook like a god.

Oh and I cook... most proficient with Italian, French and Thia, my wife keeps pestering to make Thai peanut butter soup..

I do Taekwon-Do (3rd Degree) and teach it as well. I have around 100 students with around 10% now at black belt level. (have done Krav Maga and Wing Chun in the past too

)

For my day job I own a IT company who specialise in Sage accounts and CRM software.

Good on you Daniel, martial skills are highly under rated, never taught anyone other than the girls I've gone out with. My wife is skilled with baton, quarter staff and knife... ears, eyes, throat and groin are the targets when being assaulted, I bought a switch blade for her she keeps in her bra, iron fist is the style I pursue at this point, I'm 6' 4" 280lbs and like brute force and edged weapons.

I play bass and guitar too (bass mostly), I'm pretty decent at automotive mechanics and fabrication, and I like woodworking...

here's one of the bass guitars I designed and built:

and my rocking chair I designed and built:

I spend my time alternating between being the Most Interesting Man in the World and being an International Man of Mystery.
I used to act, played all racquet sports badly and had lots of other leisure time activities - fly-fishing, cycling, running, woodworking.
(Before I retired I was employed at too many things to list; it sounds improbable.)
Now photography, reading voraciously and doing what my wife commands takes up most of my time.

After reading the first talent, I am wondering if you are mistaken about the others also?

The usual - sit, beg, heel, lie down, roll over, play dead.

I enjoy cooking (I make a mean jambalaya), do a little drawing and painting, and make maps for the Fire-EMS Department.

See, and here I'm thinking - what sort of story do you tell the cop that pulls you over at this point? Well officer, you see the wife and I were out for a drive and we found this joint in the truck, well we got a little high and one thing lead to another and we started getting busy and... oh, the rope? Ok, well I can explain that. No, really I can.

Lol
