I went through about a 6 or 8 month stage when I was 19 or 20 where everything I touched fell apart. I either couldn't get anything right or it fell apart in my hands. It seemed like the harder I tried the worst things got. It was extremely frustrating for me and the guys I worked with. I was working for an excavating contractor at the time, thankfully he showed me some grace and didn't fire me. Fast forward 20 years or so and my oldest son is now helping me do things around the house. This kid is number 4 in his class but don't have a lick of common sense. I am not wired that way and it is really frustrating for me. I have showed him how to change the oil in my wife's van at least 6 or 8 times. Sent him out one day to do it on his own. Went out 30 minutes later and oil is not even drained yet. Ask him why? He said he couldn't find the 13mm wrench. Never dawned on him to get a 13mm socket. Stuff like that over and over again. Bad thing is I had the poor kid scared to death to do anything because I would yell at him. I had to back off and let him figure things out on his own. As long as he wasn't going to get hurt. Took me the better part of a year to get him to come out of that. He is 16 now and is getting pretty sharp on stuff. I just have to give him very clear directions or he will over analyze the task at hand.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
