We may not have the time right now but imo we have to keep the ‘how to’ in mind. It would be terrific if your ggf’s notes/plans were around for the next generation. I think we’re going to have to stumble for a bit (well some of us) but I have no doubt that we will make it. It’s the riff raff coming out to pillage the rural area; that’s where I’m afraid things are going to get nasty.
Well Grandpa Bill as I called him was quite a man. He died when I was a kid. He owned a large sawmill which ran on a steam engine. He also had his own railroad and a single engine.
He actually invented the road grader and even had a patent on it. Unfortunately several companies were able to evade the patent rights. When my Father, (his Grandson) was only a child, Grandpa Bill took him with him on a trip to Washington D.C. to patent some invention.
