Quiet finally. I'm still full and feel uncomfortable. Yeah, ate too much!
Greg..... I work at local community college....they have one helluva technical department. Automotive, HVAC, machine shop, weld shop, construction, fire and police training.... cover a whole gambit of skilled trades. I always suggest to young ones to head to local college, get two year degree or training in a technical field. Get out and get a job where you can make decent pay and not owe a crapload of tuition. Always a need for technical folks. Good luck to your son....hope he succeeds.

My dad got me into machining right out of high school. Told me to learn the trade, go and do something else if I wanted, then if that didn't work out, I could always get a job as a machinist. Truer words hath not been spake. I went and opened a bar, and worked that till I met my wife and went back into machining.

Bikes ate about 1.5x what I thought they'd be but it was bikes or iPads & didn't want to give them more screen time
