I have no desire to can or scrap-book, I can do everything else. I guess with more room in Tenn I may do some gardening and it's been years since I dug in dirt. Can i take a refresher course

Packing house. Kitchen is done except a few every day dishes, a couple of glasses and my coffee mug. I can just rinse the mug and use it for 7 weeks
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever been to:

I'm amazingly cultured. Everything but Disney World. I have been to 3 casinos but never gambled. I was working on their floor cleaning equip. Been to more auto race tracks than you can shake a stick at. Also while working on cleaning I've been to both a dog and a horse track. Never attended a race there. The people who go to Greyhound races just go to see the dogs crash. Symphony with Nancy. Why not she went to enough race tracks with me.
Just for Fun:
Have you ever owned 8 track tapes ?
Yes and I would not be surprised to find some before the end of the week. I'm packing the basement this week.

Good morning, Karla! We could use about 15 degrees of that heat, if you'd like to send it on up to south-central Wisconsin.... Only going to be about 50 degrees here today, after 81 yesterday. I'd prefer something in between those if possible.
Today's Question(s):
Connie the "Continuing Education" Fairy is offering free classes
Which of these would you sign yourself or your other half up for:
Wood working? Oh, we'd both love this. Canning? And we'd both love this, too. Gardening? And we'd love this, only we'd both need much younger bodies, I'm afraid. Toilet paper roll replacement? Got that one covered, thanks. Basic Auto Maintenance? I'm not sure that with all the computers and fancy gadgets in today's cars, there's even such a thing any more as "basic" auto maintenance. If there is, I could benefit from learning about it. Basic household repairs? We could both benefit a lot from this; we're all thumbs and household projects don't generally go well. Scrap-booking? No thanks. Total house trash can emptying on trash day? Got this one covered, but thanks anyway. Cooking? Not needed - my spouse could give lessons in this to Connie.
Bonus Question:
What did you do this weekend?
Entity financial statements, inventory cost analysis, journal entries and a whole lot of spreadsheets. Aren't you glad you asked?
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever been to:
Disneyland? Once, many decades ago. Disney World? No. A Racetrack? No. A Casino? Once for a relative's birthday celebration; hated it, and I'll never go again. The Opera or Symphony? We do this all the time; just caught a fabulous performance of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto this past Friday, and we've got tickets to the symphony this coming weekend.
