Sad but true, Jim. When Mike and I were growing up all our friends built and 
repaired their own cars, hot rods,appliances, and any machinery that was 
worn out or needed fixing.  My kids friends don't know how and don't care to 
know how to fix anything . Most of them couldn't show you  where a spark 
plug was if their life depended on it. Most high schools don't even have 
"shop" classes anymore.  The skills are still needed but who is teaching 
them?  I'm thankful we have a younger generation in the  SEL that is still 
interested in learning.  Steve, the old fart! > Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009

agree but I don't think it's just a matter of prices being too high. The
