Your #27 caught my attention and I wondered how everyone else would treat you.
Didn't take too long and I guess it was to be expected.
I was foolin' around with my father's power tools at around 10 or 12 ... (I'm 56 now) and I never hurt myself ... well, not as a kid ... only as an adult when I became a big-shot and knew more of everything than a kid does.
My 18 and 10 yr. old sons have picked up my tools on their own when I was around. I showed them how to hold, where to look, how to stand .. etc., and watched 'em go.
They do pretty OK.
Your attitude (and historic accuracy) regarding how our nation came to be so great is right on.
I'm with ya', dale.

Never thought of that. Mostly I learned how to not get stepped on by cattle
and also that hay bales are a lot heavier when wet!
OSHA didn't seem to mind much.

So now you have a place to stand, what do you see?

By some estimates, we are upwards of 25 billion years for the planet and a few hundred thousand for mankind, what, about my comment, did you not understand?

If he put in on the Discovery Channel, he'd probably get rich.

If you want to know how the real world works, it helps to set foot in it once in awhile.

A pair of granny glasses steeped in some week's old tea should suffice quite nicely.

A guy once said that tincture of Iodine loosened 50 year-old rusted fasteners; I've been tempted to try it.

I once had a guy who took three days to paint my house, by the time he left I made him take the bucket he used with him.
