For example, I&#8217;ve wanted to play a <a href=\"http:\/\/rds.yahoo.com\/S=96062883\/K=%2B%22bass+guitar%22\/v=2\/SID=w\/l=IVR\/*-http:\/\/www.bill-lewington.com\/Dean\/basses\/edgeq5.htm\">bass guitar<\/a>. Now that I&#8217;m a &#8220;mature&#8221; adult I&#8217;ve let go of this childhood dream. Somehow this one is no longer me. I&#8217;ve already talked about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nkn.com\/home.htm\">go-karts<\/a>, and I did at one time own one. Now the question is whether or not I will ever own one again. Another thing is that I&#8217;ve always wanted to see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/grca\/\">Grand Canyon<\/a>, however, each chance I get to travel it&#8217;s not been at the top of my list. For example, I&#8217;d rather visit London or San Francisco than the North Rim. Finally I&#8217;ve wanted to create a <a href=\"http:\/\/archives.math.utk.edu\/visual.calculus\/0\/parametric.5\/\">cycloidal<\/a> propulsion vehicle. This was based upon an article in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memagazine.org\/\">Mechanical Engineering<\/a>, April 1963, page 60-61. This one still interests me, but then again it was a childhood dream which maybe I&#8217;ve outgrown. But then why did I try to take a computer aided mechanical drafting course at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austincc.edu\">local community college<\/a>, and I&#8217;m considered taking a welding course to help me make one of these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since I&#8217;ve been a young person I&#8217;ve wanted to do a few things.
