    I always wanted to be a mad skilled airbrush artist. My lil brother does have mad automotive restoration skills as well as painting. He had his own shop years ago and is actually getting ready to start it back up, OSHA regs are strick now so he purchased a devillbiss paint booth with baking heater and ventalation system for the new shop. I helped him tear it down and haul it home from a former body shop. Might be a good time to try and learn some airbrushing when he gets the shop opened.

    It may not be a talent so much as one of the senses but I wish I could hear well again. Deaf in one ear and losing it in the other. Even if I can hear a sound I can't tell which direction it is coming from. It took me an hour in my tree stand last year to find the deer walking through the leaves somewhere around my stand. I finally found it 30 feet up in a tree. It had a long bushy tail and was building a nest to spend the winter in. :mad:

    Wish I could draw. Be awesome to see things in the bow stand or goose blind and be able to go home and draw what you saw instead of pictures from a camera. I can do stick people though!

    some good ones here! Singing would be great. If I could choose, I would choose to be:

    A. A better listener to my wife....no matter how hard I try,,,,i can never remember a DAM THING the woman says...literally no lie, cant remember a single thing.....

    B. To be quicker on my feet...meaning in a conversation being quick witted....it usually comes to me a few minutes after the fact...I sit there and say "dammit...why didn't I think to say this....or that....."

    C. not afraid of heights

    Songwriter. I love listening to lyrics. There is something about a good song where the words just melt into the music. I've tried and I just do not have the creativity to do it but I envy people who can.

    I wish I was a better storyteller. Some people just have that "natural ability" to tell a great story. Me..not so much. :(

    That's one ability I have, but I do wish I could play guitar. I've tried, but I just can't.

    Exactly. I was thinking of this thread when watching this. No amount of desire will get me to sing like this:

    Probably the best acoustic cover group in the world. They can do anything. Boyce Avenue is amazing.

    Actually something I suck at is negotiating. I don't even try to get a better price when buying a car.

    This can be a curse as well. I have an extremely quick wit and can shred people if I am not careful before I even know it. I once quipped that beneath every "wit"icism lies a foundation of criticism.

    I'm a fantastic singer. I can't play the guitar. We should merge.
