Hey Old, I'm not that old myself, 37 to be exact, but I've been doing mechanic work all my life. Like you I hate it when 'younger' smart a--, without a clue, tells me what I know and don't know about my own job. The one thing I did learn long ago, and I know for sure about being a mechanic is the fact that I DON'T know it all and never will. I learn something new just about every day and no matter how small or insignificant that thing may sem at the time one of these days it will come in handy. Dad's been doing this kind of work about 20 years longer than I have and he and I still learn from each other all the time. The one thing I've seen, with us anyway, is that we each tend to look at problems/projects in different ways and as a result tackle them differently. Sometimes this leads to something that should be simple becoming more drawn out than it would if done another way and that's where the learning comes in. Many times one of us will come in when the other was doing something "the hard way" or trouble shooting something and having problems and said "why not try this, it'd be so much easier this way" or look, there is the problem right there staring you in the face. Like one of the previous posts said it's often something that "Hellen Keller" could have seen, but then again she was blind and "looked" at stuff different than any of us would have. It never hurts to have more than one pair of eyes, and more than one opinion. Everybody looks at things different and there is usually more than one way to solve a problem, even if it isn't "our way". The main thing is when the opinions are given it must be done in a respectful manner and not as a smart a-- comment. I'm willing to try anything once if somebody has a better idea, no matter wether their older or younder than me, and I've learned alot this way that I plan to pass on. I just hope when it comes time for me to pass it on I can find somebody that will actually listen and not think they know it all better than I do...even if they really do......Just my .02
