Engineering
I really like taking stuff apart with my pocket knife. Yesterday I took the oven apart so mum could clean it. For some considerable time she's been leaning over the whole door (it actually comes off) and not taking the sides out and it really wasn't all that clean. The gap between the bottom of the door and the oven (not actually in the oven) was filthy. I've twiddled around inside our pc a few times, and also the pc of my second uncle or whatever he is, without actually breaking anything :) Understanding how things work is really cool. Kinda reminds me of working on the Suzuki at Blinman. I still don't know enough about the insides to be able to fix something deep inside the engine, but we've taken apart the radiator, the carburetter, the air intake, etc.
This brings me around to the purpose of this post. I've been volunteered to be the Chief Engineer at the Bogong Rover Chalet. I'm not quite sure how I managed to be saddled which such responsibility.. presumably because there's only a dozen or so people going... but anyway it means I'm in charge of running the diesel generators and the wood-burning hot water system, Theodore. I don't know much about either of them - I saw them last time I was there, but didn't operate them, so hopefully the documentation that should be heading my way sometime will help and of course there'll be plenty of people to help me learn when I'm there. I'm really quite looking forward to it. Additionally, I might get to sleep in the nobs room, the only one in the whole place with carpet :)
