Bob, my faith in the youngsters has been seriously dented since the early 90s but
because I grew up in the south of Johannesburg where we worked with our hands.
Working class, honest people. In 93 I moved to the north and these dudes don't get their hands dirty.
BS is their first language.
I tried giving many kids a chance at working but you can guess the outcome. Not bred for it.
Like taking a donkey to the Kentucky Derby.
This guy comes from Eastern Bloc parents and he's a grafter. Contrary to popular belief South African kids
think the world owes them!!!.
Of late I've had a few bad experiences and the only guys here I trust are my army buddies most of whom have passed on.
If any young father asked my advice I'd tell him not to spoil his kids.
I have plan for the "suspension" and I'll post pics as soon as I find 3 brackets!.
Got some additional stainless steel clamps today for the nitrogen bottles. Viktor saw the pics and says we need to go up one size (+10mm).
