Strangely Therapeutic Things

Did you know his hair was actually straight?

 

[49willys]

I listened to an interview about him, he grew his hair out and permed it to save money on haircuts, it became his trademark and he couldn't cut it, by the end of his career he hated it.

Found yet another strangely theraputic affliction I have today. Tapping threads. I don't care if it's 5/32 or 9/16.... It's very relaxing to me.

Go try a 4-40 and get back to me.

This is true for me also and including running a lathe for threading rod!

hand planing wood with a good, sharp plane. That curl of wood and the sound it makes...

I do floors. Always crawling around. I love it when I get to install some tile backsplashes. It gives me a chance to work standing up!

But the therapeutic part is just standing there gazing at the finished product. I just like to stare into the patterns. Its sorta mesmerizing to me.

Watching Bob Ross.

Detailing a vehicle.

 

[WARRIORWELDING]

Listening to him is read is therapeutic as well.

Painting. Wood working, though it's been years since I made anything.

Watching the smoke draft out of the chimney on a cold night like tonight!

I like blowing leaves. Good back pack blower, earbud tunes, instant visual payoff. Once I start, I just keep going till it's time to refuel.

Folding laundry and doing dishes (literally, not the "dirty"). Yes, I'm a man. It's just soothing for some strange reason. My OCD kicks in while doing it, but in a way that isn't annoying. If my wife folds the laundry, it doesn't get put up correctly.

 

[Croatan_Kid]

The counter tops are my thing. Let me get a Clorox wipe and get the hell out of my way...there's about to be some cleaning going on. No streaks either!

 

[a_kelley]

Cleaning dirty windows! Laying down some welds (when it's not cramped up work, like on a bench laid out welding). And general fabrication in any material (wood, metal, plastic).

Another one for me is listening to snow falling on a tent while camping in the winter.

Watching snow fall

I miss a wood burning fire place

I use to love getting up early on a weekend, shutting off the heat, and building a fire in the basement buck stove, and a small fire in the livingroom fireplace. Especially on a subzero day. Then watching the tstat bounce off 80 as the kids wake up and bring their blankets to the living room to nap in the floor while I made hot chocolate in shorts and a wife beater sweating like a Democrat on election night

Reading about anything Space related. Was watching the landing of Insight and I find it so fascinating. Just to think of what is really out there and we haven't even begin the scratch the surface. Incredible.
