Thought for the day:

" If you wish to succeed, consult three older people. "
 
The Thought For The Day is how I grew up. Talked with and listened to older farmers and mechanics and took their advice and help many times. At my age now, it is getting harder to find older people.
I am blessed to have friends half my age or less that come to me for advice. Like the young man this week that I showed how to lay brick. Have showed many of my 2 sons' friends how to rebuild their truck engines. Also taught some how to weld.
