About:Like me on Facebook, my poor, fragile ego needs a boost! I post updates about my current projects, and the occasional sneak peak at upcoming instructables! ............................................................................................................................................................................................... depotdevoid is short for The Depot Devoid of Thought, the place where you go when you lose your train of thought and you're waiting for the next thought train to pick you up. The depot represents a fairly high level of absent mindedness and ease of being distracted, as well as a love of seeing what will pique my interest next, and where that idea will take me. ............................................................................................................................................................................................... I am a ball bearing salesman by day and a mad scientist by night (and on the weekends). I love making and learning about all sorts of things, and while I'll never be the best at any one thing, I am reasonably competent in many areas. ............................................................................................................................................................................................... I hope you enjoy my instructables, please take a moment to subscribe!

haha i like how you said "the depot devoid of thought"...as a writer i spend a lot of time there lol
that and your awesome starry night mosaic are two good reasons to follow you :)

Thanks! I occasionally decide I'm going to become a writer (of fiction rather than instructables), and usually end up sitting around the depot poking at my laptop until I get bored and wander off to do other projects. I'm pretty good at the technical aspects of writing (grammar, vocabulary, etc.), but sustaining an interesting narrative is like grabbing at dust motes, I just can't seem to do it!

AussieAnglerGal in reply to depotdevoidOct 11, 2012. 3:57 PM

haha yes i often wind up doing similar although i've been writing for a few years now
i have enough ideas its just sometimes putting them on paper etc is simply impossible

Yeah, that's where I get frustrated about it too, I just feel like there are stories inside me that want to get out!

AussieAnglerGal in reply to depotdevoidOct 11, 2012. 5:15 PM

yes it can be very annoying so sometimes i just force myself to write, even though i might not be concentrating. it usually works!

Thanks yourself! You've got a lot of great projects, and you're really active on the website, so I figured I should start following your exploits!

depotdevoid (author) in reply to triumphmanJun 10, 2012. 8:12 PM

Which picture?

Hey! A fellow Oregonian. Best state in the country!

depotdevoid (author) in reply to Data643Jun 19, 2011. 7:02 PM

Ha, heck yeah! Actually, I think it's been the rainiest state in the country lately, though . . .

Data643 in reply to depotdevoidJun 19, 2011. 7:33 PM

Yea, we just went down to the coast this weekend. It was sunny the first two days, but then it rained all the next day. We couldn't even go out on the beach that day. If you're ever down by Depoe Bay look for a store called the What-Not-Shop.It's a great surplus store & the owner is very nice. I found this awesome Star Trek badge there.

depotdevoid (author) in reply to Data643Jun 19, 2011. 8:24 PM

Sweet, nice find! I'll definitely look that place up next time I'm over there!
