Dinty Moore Lumbersexual Commercials

While it's great that you've found a few of those kinds of people, the fact remains that they are the small minority.

Of the hundreds of millenials that I've met in the past few years, there's only been a couple that I've met that get it.

I work with a couple now, that get it.

 

Yes I did. I can get my self in trouble if I go down this road.

 

Sad fact Mountain Man. Not much for women to choose from. Oh they are out there...but few and far between.

 

Guess Im expendable and they will get their heat from the coal company.

 

Send some my way.

 

I have a couple standing offers if I were to ever sell. Mostly they are after the river lot. It has been a locally coveted piece of ground for as long as I can remember. I have done a little research on land trusts and conservation easements, but would much rather give it to family who'd be willing to care for it.

With any luck, I'll have plenty of years to get this figured out, but you never know.

 

Well, remember that every generation talks bad about the generation which follows them. Bad morals, lazy, lousy music, etc. And some of it is true, but most of it is a matter of different tastes.

These young men can't start a chainsaw - so what? 5 years ago I had never started a chainsaw, and I am quite a bit older than they. When there was the need, I learned. I am still learning. So are they.

 

Here is another one. Beware the "medieval" axe.

 

My two daughters are able to take care of about anything. Put down floors, fix a toilet, build things etc. One married a man who didn't know how to hold a hammer or a paint brush. He had no imitative to learn to either. After 18 years, They went their own ways. She is now with a man who built his own house. They are like two peas in a pod. Good to see her happy now.
I have two sons, both are contractors who build structures etc.

 

I have three kids..... They have started their young lives on our farm! Needless to say we cut wood, hunt, fish, ride, rope, raise cattle, pigs, garden, cut and Bale hay, they can do it ride four wheelers CSS well they don't cut yet but they are trying and the twins are only 8 but they can skin their own critters and put them on the grill! I think it is the parents response ability to teach our children the tools they will need in life! Like driving a stick! Backing a trailer. Changing a flat! Greasing bearings!

 

While I agree that you can learn when there is a need, I bet you also did not go around portraying being a lumberjack with no knowledge of what that entails. I get what you are saying, but it still cracks me up when I see stuff like this going on. I am sure that as I get older, I will have some choice words about the next generation ( I already do), but I hope to keep things in perspective, like you.

 

Now that is true.

 

And what if (heaven forbid!) your child became a lawyer? Will knowing how to grease bearings be a critical life skill?

I am not knocking what you say, I taught my son as many mechanic skills as I could. He now wishes I had taught him more.

 

Mall ninjas fall into this same bucket for me. Tacticool oper8tor....wannabes.

 

Hevan forbid they become lawyers BUT IF they do at least when some mechanic tells them they need a new muffler bearing they have the brains and the where with all to understand they are being taken! I hope my children surpass mine and my wife's ability's. But to sit and say a lawyer does not need to know how to do some of the simple things in life? Thats how people get taken and pay for blinker fluid!

 

I am less worried about a lawyer being taken by a mechanic, than a mechanic being taken by a lawyer!

But, yep, you're right.
