Don't know how all that fits into an Apprentice Toolbox. Too bad for
kids growing up in the suburbs today. Gotta be driven everywhere,
can't be allowed to think for themselves. Too many damn
temptations. WTH.

nobody is born with these skills.
some are taught as part of life's experiences. some have the harder
yards of teaching themselves.

I can still remember the old man ****ing himself laughing at something
I was finding difficult to saw. I had the blade in the hacksaw
backwards ...accidently. other than that he was ok.

most of my skills I've learnt by teaching myself. actually bill hannan
used to put an old estonian proverb in his peanuts books.' the work
will teach you how to do it'. it does, helped by the rubbish bin of
quality assurance.

I always feel sorry for the 'gee you're lucky' brigade that have never
dared to fail and thus have never tried.

guys we're doing ok.
