I got to thinking about how much of the knowledge I have is very time sensitive. Meaning it will not have much or any worth in the not too distance future. Heck I would be a low skilled tech if I started out in a modern JD shop these days. I am way behind the times on the new computer controlled stuff. Then add in the fact that I am losing knowledge to time as well. There are getting to be many things I once did regularly enough to be efficient at doing them and now I have to "read" up on doing them.
An example is I have a JD 4440 that the priority valve was giving me some troubles. I have checked out hundreds of them but none in the last few years. I totally forgot the pressure settings. I had to go dig the manual out an look them up.
I can remember things my Great Grand Father talked about 60 years ago but can't remember your name if it was new in the last hour or so. LOL
I am finding out my relationship with my children is slowly reversing. They used to call me all of the time to asked questions. Now I am calling them more to ASKED them questions. Even worse if it is modern computer/electronic stuff the Grand Daughters are the go to people on that stuff.
I had one of the Grand Daughter's "Smart Phones" to show a fellow where he needed to go on Google maps. The screen saver came on and neither of us "old" guys could get it back to where we where at. LOL I had to get my stupid phone out and call another Grand Daughter an asked her how. LOL
