Something to do.

[Optimistic Paranoid]

Looking for something to do?

I've often said that "Work is fascinating. I could sit and watch other people do it all day."

Pretty cool. It is definitely fun watching others work! Something for my to-do list. My nephew works at the Tillamook Cheese factory, that should be my first stop.

I agree with Wally watching as I have seen enough factories. Its a trip to just sit in the parking lot.

Thank you very much for sharing this and for my new favorite quote.

I'm always on the lookout for ways to learn and to teach my kids. Definitely plan on using this list.

Many moons ago I was a forklift repair guy, which gave me an opportunity to go to many small and large companies that made things,
If you have a special interest in a product or process check them out, especially small companies.

A few of some that were of interest for me were.
a company the made ski socks. Bunch of machines that darn socks
a company that has a bunch of machines that made nuts and bolts
a company that made trailer wheels (very noisy place)
a guy that makes BLACK CANYON whiskey ( not far form me 2 man show him and his wife)
a place that makes pallets (get free wood)
check out a waste water plant, you would be amazed
take a tour of a power plant
check out a fish hatchery or fish farm
farm operations are amazing and very educational
hard to find, but blacksmith shops are cool
Met a guy in Kansas that made fishing lures in a small building in the middle of somewhere, did the operation by himself
check out a creamery where they make cheese (cheese curds are the best)
check out gold mines or other mines ( once asked a gold mine how they shipped their gold.. answer UPS just insure it .. wow

I could go on, but, my bucket list is to do more of this and do blog posts of the stops.

I'm right there with ya Gadget...

I LOVE seeing new things and especially the way things work and/or are made. I really enjoy watching You-Tube videos on the way large machinery is engineered. It's amazing the way some things are concieved and/or built.

Like these....

There's always people watching at WallyWorld!

The best time for Wally Watching is right before a hurricane or tropical storm is about to hit down here in 'Not-Always-So-Sunny' Florida. I take a stroll inside to watch "the floor show". College kids wrestling with soccermoms for that last bottle of water, the last pack of batteries, the flashlight they'll never use, the case of food or soda pop, etc. It's a hoot! The sporting goods section becomes a battlezone!
Then when the storm is past, the idiots come back trying to return all that stuff they never used. They seem to forget there will be another major weather event soon, and that stuff may come in useful.
I keep my storm preps stocked, so I don't have to join in the fray, just watch the fun.
