I'll be doing more. Send it anytime, but only if you can live with it being apart awhile. A certain Husky dealer sent 12 saws a few days ago. I've never been so slammed.

You want the whole thing or just jug?
You let me know when you’re doing them again and I’ll send whatever you want

Just the jug.

When I order more 661s, I'll let you know.

Jesus, Randy! You need a capable assistant to help you keep up/play catch up!

I just work them in as I do certain models.

I'm still trying to get your 261 done for you. Gonna cut some trees for the gtg tomorrow, and have a funeral to attend Sunday. At least hay season is over.

I'd love to have some help......it seems the days of motivated young guys asking if they can learn a trade are over in this area.

I liked this post...then unliked it. I find that so sad, if I had someone like you to learn from first hand it would be all I did for the rest of my life.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I still gotta trim my exhaust outlet like you suggested @Mastermind

 

[MustangMike]

I won't say that the work ethic is completely dead, but it sure as heck is not what it used to be, and that is very distressing.

I've had young people say to me "I'm not going to do that", and I look back at them and say "well, if you don't have a job, why not"? This whole entitlement mentality makes me sick.

I started working in my Dad's office when I was 14. Luckily, it was mostly "seasonal", but every Sat & Sun in tax season, my Mom or I would check all the tax returns my Dad prepared before they were issued. We worked 9am to 9pm both days. No computers back then, it was a big deal that he had electric adding machines (instead of the old ones with that hand crank you pulled down). The top of the ribbon was black, the bottom red (for negative #s).

And for photo copy, you sandwiched the original between two different papers, exposed it to the light, then removed the original and ran it through a solution that produced the image. If you forgot to remove the original before you ran it through the solution, you lost it, no way to recover it!

It was a good hands on way to learn taxes! Every year, I bought a gun or bow with the extra money I earned during tax season.

But my favorite thing to do every year was in the better weather, when we went up to my Aunt & Uncle's farm and helped with the haying. We did not go up there in the winter, they were in the snow belt, and my cousins would tell me how the snow drifted against the house so bad they had to go out the upstairs window!

14?

Psssshhhh!!

Toting welding Rods & running a skid steer @ 5.

Raking & feeding hay @ 8 on a 45hp tractor.

Cutting Hay @ 12.

Welding @ 14.

Dad built a pine shavings machine, & it was my job to scoop & level the shavings on top of the 18 wheeler dump trailers once they were conveyed in. That was years 9-11.

Driving chicken house Spreader trucks @ 15.

I wrecked my 1st tractor @ 9, so....

Bubba is very interested in working with me........but he just turned 14. The same age I was when I started helping my brother Craig frame houses. I'd rather see my grandson be a kid a little while longer. A working man's life is long enough without starting that young.

But.......when he is older, I hope to see him here with me. In the shop, and in the fields.

That is My Same Hope Too Randy.

Kids grounded in family, with a Strong work ethic will go far, & don't even have to leave the farm a lot of times.

14?

I just had a friend tell me the same thing about his kid that just graduated high school, he wishes he would be a kid longer. Start with a part time job. But the kid went out and got a full time job on his own with an hvac company. Turned his landscaping business he started at 14 over to his younger brother.

I didn't grow up on a farm, and my father worked full time, so I was building forts on the woods, fixing and building bicycles and lawn mowers I pulled out of the dump on Saturdays with my dad, and working with him on the vehicles on the weekends. Doing odd jobs for the neighbors. When I turned 14 I wanted a job so bad my mom, bless her, would get up and have me at the closest dairy farm for 3am milking, then I'd muck stalls, go haying, etc...

I look back with fond memories of those years that shaped my life, so I'm not sure I understand when guys say they want their kids/ grandkids to be kids longer.

If I had a grampa close enough that I could have worked/ learned from him, I'm certain I would be cherishing those memories today!

I Agree Completely.

My Grandfather was still running tractors daily until his stroke 5 years ago.

My 3 main tormentors growing up were my dad's 3 younger brothers, who all worked for G'Paw.

When my cousin & I were 5, they demoed a large commercial building.

Uncle #2 was in the forklift basket with us 2- 5 yr olds taking bolts out of the Purlins.

Uncle #3 was operation the forklift.

12:00 came & #3 shut off the fork lift, got off, & sat down against a column, starting lunch.

Uncle #2 climbed down the mast.

2-5 yr olds were left in a basket 20' off the ground, being laughed at for missing lunch.

One of the 5 yr olds climbed down the mast & left the other 1 down.

Harnesses you ask? The mules wore those, long about that time.
