30... I remember that age... hahaha... though it's funny/sad that I can still outrun & outwork most punks in their 20's. Kids are LAAAZZZEEEEEE nowadays. And no, I'm not ready for a walker yet either!!
You wanna talk about "can't drive"..... here in MD, they drive like lemmings. Literally, people will bunch up going down the road. All 4 lanes filled, 4 or 5 cars deep.... and at least 150' between groups. Makes me KUH-RAZY!!! I guess from so many years of riding motorcycles, I don't like people driving too close to me.
Glad to hear things went well yesterday Alicia, and that you beat traffic!! now that you're in the OT, you have to keep us updated!

It was a good thing I couldn't have my gun down there because I would have been very tempted to take out some tires.

You'd electrocute those kids...like a bunch of burnt wieners in a pot on the stove.

Thank you. It's my first nephew. I have two nieces. I am thrilled. Everyone bought blue things or cuddly bears... I bought him a camo outfit
No nephew of mine is going to be a pansy.

Mornin peeps!
I'm right with you guys on this one.
Ha! That's great! I've got 3 nieces, 2 on my wife's side, one on my side. My brother's daughter is almost 8 months, I'm bugging the Mac Tools and Snap On guys to get me some branded baby clothes. No luck yet, but maybe in time for when my kid comes along.
Congrats on the new nephew!

Morning peoples 
I agree with ya all ont he work ethic of younger people. Out in the patch we had lots of younger guys, and they just couldnt keep up. The amount of "breaks" and crap they took was amazing.
I also think our generation has nothing on the work ethic of our parents. My dad was born in 1952ish, and you should see that guy shovel grain, and do his farm duties. It would make most 20 year olds now a days look silly. Also my grandpa was like that too, he finally quit farming at 80 some years of age! (Thats 25-30 YEARS past when most people retire! and he still comes out and helps out, drives swather and whatnot!)

My apprentice at work is always looking forward to the coffee breaks. So do I, but when I'm neck deep in work that I only need 20 minutes more to finish, I'll keep going. He can't find anything productive to do, and he gets in my way if he tries to help, so he wanders around and humps the pooch.
Then, he's yapping on the phone all day, taking calls from his wife or brother, and sometimes, customers from his side business.
A few times I've pulled a Gordon Ramsey on him. He still doesn't get it though.
