Not sure about what you mean. Maybe it would be useful for you the usage of 
variables in threads, for example:

  this_thread = Thread.current
  this_thread[:time_on] = Time.now

This stores the actual time into a variable for that thread, so you later can 
read it by doing:

  this_thread[:time_on]

But not sure if you want this.
