1.) Bringing something back to life (a human).
2.) A good glass of single malt scotch (not while doing #1)
3.) Also KFC Original Recipe
4.) Nathan's original Coney Island hot dogs with cole slaw on a Martin's potato roll (ahhhh.....)
5.) The Red Sox finally winning the World Series
6.) Humiliating a Ferrari owner in my Tesla Plaid (okay, I really don't do this often, but it's amazing.) And I don't do it to Lambo owners, because...
7.) Having my electric utility pay me for electricity.
- After I ask a stranger if I can pet their dog and they say yes, I like to respond, "I'll keep that in mind" and walk off
- It's above my pay grade. Mongo only pawn in game of life.

I did try it on a lifting link chain hoist that was rust frozen. I do not know how bad it was under the rust but the chain broke apart at several places after it was cleaned by electrolysis. It was probably bad to begin with but not bad enough to fall apart when I put it in the mixture.

1. Watching how much my dog throughly enjoys chasing a ball.
2. That moment when a fish takes the bait
3. Being out of debt

. . . more than I should
watching Japanese beetles die.
watching the Yankees lose. Actually no, I'll take that one back. I enjoy that every bit as much as I should.

Finally being fully retired. Waking up with no “responsibilities “. Having a fully equipped shop. Concluding that being useful is not all its cracked up to be.

Using my bulldozer. Everytime I do I wonder why I waited so long to use it. Nothing but bruit force. A rock in your way, push it out of your way. A tree you don't like, push it down and then push it out of the way. Thank god it's loud enough so people can't hear the words coming out of my mouth. It's bad enough now where if I'm in a bad mood the wife tells me to hop on it for a half hour.

Working with my ten year old grandson in the shop. Believe it or not, one of his favorite things to do is sanding

Sipping on a good whiskey and enjoying a good cigar while enjoying the cloud formations.

Sitting on my back porch, listening to nature, watching the birds to go the myriad feeders.
Enjoying furniture you build and actually use.

Taking something apart before I trash/recycle it. My mother would bring me old clocks from Goodwill just so I could take them apart. Now it's washers, old chairs, mattresses, .....
Using a piece of wood I've kept for 30 years.

Kind of a broad brush explanation. How about a little detail?
Sharp solves all manner of problems.

WOW- fantastic chairs. If I owned those, the first two would be my scotch chairs and the second two would be my bourbon chairs.
And I would never feel like I enjoyed either of them too much.
