My middle name is George, after my grandfather on my mother’s side. It separates me from all the other Jonathan Meyers.
Better Than New
What skills or lessons have you learned recently?
This year I took up collecting tiny diecast cars. What I like most is disassembling and improving the cars. I’ve learned a lot, including how to force an airbrush to do as you want.
Owning Mistakes
What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
Admitting when you are mistaken or wrong. People make mistakes.
It’s in our DNA. Own up to it.
Tiny Car Passion
This year I began collecting 1/64 Scale Diecast Cars. The cars I buy are mostly Hotwheels, Matchbox, and M2. They are the least expensive in the hobby and, in my humble opinion, require improvement.
In the process I’m learning to use all the tools & materials required, such as the wide array of available paints, solvents and primers. I’m also discovering how to disassemble without damage, drill and tap to allow the use of screws for reassembly, change interior color, upgrade wheel sets, and the varied uses of an inexpensive airbrush. There is a lot to learn, and it keeps be out of the bars.
Here are the results of my recent projects.

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
People who say ‘I’ a lot.

Looking for a book to take you out of this world and place you into another? Look no further.
Jim Thompson is currently divorced, broke, and homeless.
One year ago he lived a comfortable life, with twenty-five years married to a woman he loved, twenty-three years at a job he did not hate, and a country home he built for retirement.
He is now fifty-four years old, lives in his truck, showers occasionally at a cheap gym, and eats the bargain meals at fast food places-if he is lucky. Unknown to him, his luck is about to change drastically.
Jim is being watched and evaluated for participation in a crucial mission; a dangerous assignment originating on someone else’s world – with the capability of destroying ours.
