I never get bored. It's the secret to being a good hermit -- an extremely low entertainment threshold. The adverse side effect is that anything more stimulating than this overloads my brain. Needle goes in the red, clipping, signal to noise ratio goes to hell, can't cope with sensory overload, migraine.
Nature and technology feel like home, society, not so much. That's why I set myself up as a happy hermit in a tiny house in the longleaf woods of the Gulf Coastal Plain. This is where I make things. I spend very little time doing anything that isn't directly related to making something. I even get ideas for things to make from my dreams.
In 2012 I did a Small Year. My intention was to spend as little money as possible and stay home all the time. In January 2012 I bought two Spartan Aircraft aluminum caravans, 31 feet long, 8 feet wide, manufactured in 1949 and 1951.
In the spring of 2013 I completed the conversion of the 1951 Spartan into a permanent lab and laundry room. It is now my knitting and sewing lab.
So this is what genius hermits do when they get bored. I see.
