My sons are in their 40's now. They grew up farm boys. But I noticed when they were in high school many of the boys did not have a clue how to do much of anything with their hands. They could not use jumper cables. When many of us were their age we were rebuilding small blocks . I can understand some one not having a clue where to start. And generation plus was raised with no idea how to do much of anything. heck in the Army as the number of farm boys stop showing up , training became a lot harder.

the older I get the the more I kick myself for not taking an interest in it back in the day especially when my dad was trying to get my attention... that’s one of the reasons I try to learn a little about everything including things that burn gasoline or uses electricity...

An interesting contrast, as in my teens I got roped in to helping pals work on their tired old cars and soon got fed-up of lying on my back on a cold wet road! When I finally decided I needed something with an engine I turned to a bike, as that seemed to be easier to work on. Eventually got hooked and the rest is history.....
