When I was a teenager, I used to sometimes wander into Grandpa's office to see what he was doing. Usually he was studying Josephus or flipping through Strong's Concordance, and one time he's sitting there with a pencil and graph paper and a calculator and I asked what he was up to and he said he was designing another wing of the house. I asked when he was planning to build it, what it was for, etc., and he replied pretty quickly that he wasn't actually going to build it: "This notebook is full of designs for modifications to the house that I won't ever build. I just like to work out the designs, you know, try to minimize the cost of materials." And then he started telling me about different kinds of wood and heating systems and how to tap into the plumbing for the rest of the house.
I think if he'd been born a little closer to a computer, grandpa would have made a decent hacker. (For my own sake, I'm glad he wasn't, you know. Computers were taking off when he met my grandmother and I'm glad he was more interested in girls than machines when he was in his early 20s.)
