Well video games don’t teach you how to be mechanical

 

I already have 2 jobs lined up. Rather have that instead of in the middle of project and get called out.

 

Good Morning youngsters. Just dropping in to wish all a Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to all that served.

I guess it’s easier for me to walk on by when you see the same ones multiple times throughout the week. The “homeless in need of food” in this area are heroine addicts lookin to score another fix. We help support a local shelter rather giving to a to an individual.

Two of my most rememberable run ins with these folks. Guy was standing on a corner with a sign “will work for food” “need job”
There also happened to a great big sign on the lumber yard behind him with 2’ tall letters stating “jobs available, no experience necessary, apply here”

The other was with my father, we were on the way to a job site. We saw the same sign different guy. ”Will work for food” “need job”
My father rolls up and says “hey buddy I got plenty of work for yah I’ll pay you cash $75/day” the guy’s answer “move along asshole yer f@ckin with my business!”

When you see them put their sign in the trunk of a brand new Cadillac at the end of the day, yah get a bit callused. Mike you tried to do the right thing and that’s what counts, gettin kicked in jimmies for it sucks.

Wahoo yer grouchier than I am. When I was growing up in the shop as an apprentice I would seek out guys like us. They were typically the ones with knowledge, the hard part was gaining their respect that were willing to share their knowledge. I made friends with some excellent grouchy aholes.
