I was talking to my neighbor last night. He's a machinest at a local company here. Medium sized shop but they are real busy now and they're working a lot of overtime. They have been advertising for help wanted. Going through a couple of head hunter firms, etc. They can not find anyone qualified to do the work. They've hired a couple of guys in the last few months but they just dont have the skills. So they've had to let them go. He told me about the last guy they had to let go. They had him cut a bunch of pieces of cold rolled for a job. When my neighbor went to do the machining on them EVERY single piece was 3/16" too short. My neighbor was frustrated but looked into what happened. The guy's tape measure must have gotten dropped and the hook on the end was badly bent under - 3/16". The new guy hadn't even noticed it. That's not the reason they let him go. He did all kinds of other dumb things before and after that. I was kind of amazed. The people who are applying just don't have basic skills. Many of them get weeded out before they even get the job because of bad background checks. America doesn't have the skills anymore. This is a good, solid company with excellent pay and benefits so good compensation is not the issue. We gripe about all the foreign made stuff but we don't have the skills to make better. I've thought about this since last night and it's got me feeling bad. End of rant. Go forth and have a good, productive day. Jerry

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
