10 Things I Want to Learn This Winter

Warhammer, Blood Bowl, etc. Even DnD themed figures. I loved painting and arts as a child, and I enjoy building things these days. What a cool skill to have! Some of these mini artists are unreal.

I've practiced opening game methods. Time to add in midgame. Arguably the hardest part of backgammon because it's so open-ended.

I've played 6 string for more than 20 years, but never tried 7 string. They're great for metal and jazz.

I suppose I never forgot, but I haven't played on a live kit in about 15 years.

I don't even know what this is called, but it's the process of eliminating a certain portion of a song (like the drums) so you can play along with the band but not interfere with the existing track. I don't even know what it entails. Do you buy special tracks where you can turn off certain instruments? Do you just run the track through a mixer and find the frequencies where most of that instrument "lives"? Interesting!

I started hacking stuff together this month. I like the process and there are cool hand-made woodjoining techniques that seem great to figure out.

I'd like to build a custom-sized game table for my house sometime before next year or next spring. Nothing fancy, just the right proportions and sturdy.

I don't even know what that might be. I just know I'm ready to add something new and interesting into my regular workout schedule mix. Keep things fresh and challenge myself in new ways.

I did my own layouts for my game book, Legacy of the Cage: The Gauntlet, but there is a lot more to learn here.

I have around ~3 sources of income (investments and 2 businesses - 1 highly profitable, the other more in the just-getting-started phases) and I'm interested in finding 1 more to experiment with.
