How we dealt with boredom as young chaps

AJ

* Probably why I find clarity in the outdoors...as an only child in growing up in the sticks you have three options:
* Fish
* Hike (Mountains)
* Horse
* ...and if none of that helped your boredom, or if you dare say that to your father, then a magically option (or secret menu) number four got created. Hammer in hand...there was always something to be built (probably why my personality is always geared towards tinkering). https://youtu.be/pJDiumlmVZU?t=898
